Need help/advice from Disboard friends ie. Jay Leno

[jlder72]

Jay Leno is coming to a local casino for a night and I have purchased a close/high price ticket. I really want a picture with him. Any hints out there?????? I am not a stalker so any of those ideas are out.

I sent an email to the show but I am sure they get millions a day. Any help out there? You all solved my Sprint problem (as a follow-up, I found out today he "left" at the end of the month and they have been dealing with his customers ever since)

Do they not have a ticket price that includes a meet and greet? Most shows have been doing this for a while. My niece got to meet David Spade in Las Vegas this way.

The only other non-stalker thing you can do is keep your eyes open around the casino or even ask your casino host for guidance.

He's very approachable and a nice guy. My nephew had his picture taken with him when he performed at a local club. I think your email was the right path to take. And if nothing comes from that, I agree, ask the host if there would be an opportunity for a photo. Good luck!

No they don't. I did that for my daughter for Justin Bieber

Bump. Anyone?

I think you're going to have to stalk. But that's ok, just be cool about it. You *want* to take laps around the casino hallways afterward to stretch your legs, right? And hey, there's nothing abnormal about riding an elevator constantly for an hour. Or....you have to stand by *that* doorway to wait for your friend or to dig for something in your purse, right?



Generally speaking, casinos are great places to run into your entertainer. Not true for everyone, of course, and less so for the bigger celebrities.

One thing, seriously, if you think you're really going to meet someone you admire, have something in mind to say. I've met a few musicians I enjoy and, to be honest, I would actually rather not. You have to say something to them, but how many thousands of times have they heard "oh I love you," "you're great," "I'm such a fan," bla bla bla. I always feel like I have nothing interesting to say, so I'd just rather sit back and watch!

But good luck!

Tell him you are related to one of the higher ups and NBC.

Don't think that would help. He pulls some pretty big strings to get his old gig back after only a few months. Besides, I'm too honest, I don't stalk, I guess the good ones just have to hope for some pixie dust.

I was at a taping of one of Jay Leno's show in CA & he was very receptive to having people in the audience go up on stage to take a pic with him so I'm pretty sure he won't feel "stalked" if you approach him. For his TV show, he was even the warm-up act! He may have a part of the show where he takes questions so just raise your hand & ask if he'll take a picture with you!

You could rent a super cool car for the evening and sit it in in front of the valet area. He is a huge car buff.

This is what I am thinking. I don't know anything about cars though so would need some help with that.

 

[HeatherH]

You have LOTS of good suggestions here. Seriously, he IS a nice guy, you ask him nicely, you will get a picture. Anything "big" is going to be stalker-ish. Renting a super cool CAR is in that realm.

Really. It will be fine. Ask for the picture. BIG gestures are just going to look weird.

Again...good luck.

Post a pic after you get it and good luck!!!

Call the casino, ask for the showroom, and ask them if they know about photo opportunities. Also, see if you can find a contact address for Jay Leno - not the show, but him directly, or his manager - and write to him and ask.

Found an email address for his manager but it was rejected as "undeliverable". Called the the showroom and they told me to ask my host, told them I am not a high roller and not part of a group that has won tickets.

I guess I have to hope you will all send me pixie dust
