Jay Leno and Arsenio Hall Are Bringing Their Comedy Tour to Central New York in March 2026
Two legendary late-night icons are joining forces for a night of stand-up in the Finger Lakes. Jay Leno and Arsenio Hall will perform together at the del Lago Resort & Casino in Waterloo, New York, on Friday, March 27, 2026, at 8 p.m. The show will take place inside the casino’s Vine Showroom, one of the region’s premier entertainment venues known for its top-notch acoustics and intimate setting.
Tickets for the event go on sale Friday, October 31, 2025, at 10 a.m. through Ticketmaster and the del Lago Resort & Casino website. Prices start at around $67, with premium and resale options available on platforms like SeatGeek, StubHub, and Vivid Seats. Due to limited tour dates and high demand, tickets are expected to move fast. Some third-party sellers, such as TickPick, have already listed seats starting around $125.
The del Lago show is currently one of only two scheduled 2026 tour dates featuring Leno and Hall together, and it’s their only New York State appearance. For comedy fans across Central New York, this is a rare chance to see two of television’s most recognizable personalities share the same stage.
Jay Leno, 75, remains one of the most respected figures in American comedy. Best known as the longtime host of “The Tonight Show” (1992–2009) and “The Jay Leno Show,” he has built a career spanning over four decades. Beyond late-night TV, Leno has kept busy performing over 100 stand-up shows annually and hosting series such as “Jay Leno’s Garage” and the revived quiz show “You Bet Your Life.” A well-known car enthusiast and beloved television personality, Leno continues to draw crowds wherever he performs.
Arsenio Hall, 69, made his mark as the energetic host of “The Arsenio Hall Show” during its groundbreaking run from 1989 to 1994, with a brief revival from 2013 to 2014. Hall’s career spans film and television, with roles in “Coming to America,” “Coming 2 America,” and “Harlem Nights.” He also won “The Celebrity Apprentice” in 2012 and hosted the early-2000s revival of “Star Search.” His mix of sharp wit and charismatic stage presence has made him a lasting favorite among comedy fans.
The Vine Showroom at del Lago requires all guests to be 21 or older to attend events. Located at 1133 NY-414 in Waterloo, the resort sits just off the New York State Thruway, about 40 miles west of Syracuse. Del Lago’s entertainment lineup includes other big-name acts such as Chris Tucker (Dec. 13, 2025), Sheena Easton (Jan. 23, 2026), Melissa Etheridge (Mar. 28, 2026), and Rodney Carrington (Apr. 24, 2026).
For anyone planning a weekend getaway, del Lago Resort offers dining, gaming, and hotel accommodations, making it a perfect spot for a night of laughter and entertainment. With Leno and Hall teaming up for what promises to be a powerhouse night of stand-up, Central New York audiences can look forward to a memorable evening with two comedy legends.
