Jay Leno, host of The Tonight Show for 22 years, will be the featured performer at An Evening with a Legend, sponsored by the UNT Health Science Center Foundation to benefit the University's research, education and health care mission.

The benefit performance celebrates the time-honored partnership between UNT Health Science Center and the Fort Worth community.

Leno, recently announced as the recipient of The Kennedy Center's 2014 Mark Twain Prize for American Humor, spent more than two decades behind the most revered desk in late-night comedy. He is a 15-time Emmy Award nominee, winning twice, including the 1995 Emmy for Outstanding Variety, Music or Comedy Series for The Tonight Show with Jay Leno.
