Famed comedian Jay Leno will be the keynote speaker at the annual Work Truck Show in Indianapolis in March.
Leno, former longtime host of television’s The Tonight Show and a renowned car collector, will give his address as part of the Work Truck Show’s President’s Breakfast on March 3, said a news release from the show organizers.
The NTEA, which markets itself as The Association for the Work Truck Industry, is holding next year’s show March 2-4 at the Indianapolis Convention Center. The related Green Truck Summit, as well as educational programming, starts a day earlier.
“Jay Leno is one of the most accomplished, hardest-working entertainers in show business,” the news release quoted Matthew Wilson, 2016 NTEA convention chairman, and chairman and CEO of Switch-N-Go, AmeriDeck & Bucks Divisions of Deist Industries Inc. of Hadley, Pa. “In addition to being a famous late night host, he has pursued many other successful endeavors, including an online venture showcasing his affinity for automobiles. I think attendees will appreciate Leno’s relatable manner and comedic style as he shares his life lessons and experiences.”
Tickets are required to attend the President’s Breakfast. Registration and housing for the Work Truck Show opened Oct. 8.
The annual event typically draws about 11,000 attendees, including fleet managers, dealers, and equipment distributors.
