BURBANK – April 20, 2009 – On the April 20 edition of NBC’s “The Tonight Show with Jay Leno,” host Jay Leno announced that he was going to continue to spread laughter with his plan for “stimulating” America with another “Comedy Stimulus” show – his next stop is in Wilmington, Ohio – this time he will be joined by “The Tonight Show” bandleader Kevin Eubanks. 

The comedian — again with a big boost from the event sponsor Pepsi — will appear at the Roberts Centre (123 Gano Road, Wilmington, Ohio, near the intersection of S.R. 68 and I-71) to perform his standup for people who find themselves struggling due to the current economic crunch.  The Roberts Centre is donating its venue for this free event.

“A couple of weeks ago we were in Detroit, we did these free shows for the folks,” Leno said on his show,  “We had a wonderful reaction, the people were terrific, so we’ve announced we’re gonna do some more.  This time we’re gonna go to Wilmington, Ohio.  This is the town that got devastated.  Remember DHL was there and the whole company just closed up, like 80 percent unemployment.  Folks there are having a hard time.  They’re good folks.’”

Leno continued: “This will be on Mothers’ Day.  And the folks at Pepsi have been great.  They’re sponsoring this whole thing.  Have a Pepsi, and a snack, we’ll give you a show.  It’s absolutely free; parking is free.  It’s at the Roberts Centre in Wilmington, Ohio.  It’s on May 10th.”

The comedian also joked  “If you don’t like it, we’ll give you your money back.  The tickets will be handed out on April 27th.  Everything is free.  Just show up, have a good time and hopefully forget your troubles for a few minutes, have some fun.  Thanks again to Pepsi.”

“We are proud to partner with Jay Leno and to offer the residents of Wilmington a sense of renewal and optimism,” said Frank Cooper, CMO of sparkling beverages, Pepsi-Cola North America Beverages.  “We were there to support Jay’s stimulus shows in Detroit and we look forward to another fun and uplifting event.”
