About a week ago we found out that Jay Leno was going to perform on Saturday night in the area. We both liked Leno and thought it would be fun to go see him perform. A couple in our neighborhood joined us on Saturday and none of us were disappointed.
My wife and I discussed the possibility of both of us driving a passenger to the event and after the show driving passengers from the event. We could actually make money going to the show and leaving it too. As it turned out my wife brought someone to another place next to the theater and then went in and we both did get rides when we left the show, which is a pretty fun way of seeing a show.
I'm not sure if the theater was sold out, but it was a very large crowd, there were not many young people there. Jay is 69 years old and did not show his age. He talked for two straight hours, only taking a few sips of something he was drinking. He started telling jokes immediately without any chatting with the crowd or opening remarks about being in the area.
If I didn't know better it was as if he was going to miss a plane, he spoke quickly and frequently there were words we all missed due to how he delivered them. He was very funny and discussed just about every possible topic. In the last thirty minutes or so he slowed down some and talked about his family. The crowd enjoyed his "clean" sense of humor to the point that one couple up front was asked to laugh quieter since people around them complained they couldn't hear what Jay Leno was saying.
The Myrtle Beach area has a number of musical shows and entertainment here. It's certainly not Las Vegas, but we're going to keep our eyes out for other performances after having a fun night with Jay Leno.
