Free Concert
On April 7, 2009, Leno performed a free concert at the Palace of Auburn Hills in Michigan. His show was his comedy version of the stimulus package to suburban Detroit. Being a car buff, Leno added quite a few auto jokes and thanked the union members in the audience for creating the "middle class." There was such a high demand for his show that a second show was added for April 8, 2009. At one point, after announcing his free show, Leno spotted four of his "free" tickets on eBay selling for over $800. Leno contacted eBay and demanded they remove his tickets.14News: Leno gives free show for unemployed in Michigan(April 9, 2009) NYT: eBay halts sale of free Leno tickets(March 17, 2009)Hospitalized

Jay Leno Newscast?
A Boston NBC affiliate announced on April 2, 2009, that in the fall of 2009 they will air an hour-long 10 p.m. newscast rather than the Jay Leno Show. Ed Ansin, the owner the NBC station WHDH, was quoted in Boston Globe as saying, "We don't think the Leno show is going to be effective in prime time. It will be detrimental to our 11 o'clock (newscast). It will be very adverse to our finances." NBC headquarters are reportedly investigating the legal ramifications.Variety: Boston Doesn't Want Jay Leno Show(April 3, 2009)-
