Host Committee Announces Plans for Big Ticket Gala

Jay Leno Headlines, Chris Berman Emcees, Hall of Fame Participates in Host Committee Black-tie Affair during Super Bowl Week

During the NFL Commissioner's Luncheon at the Westin Kierland Resort in Scottsdale, Super Bowl Host Committee President Bob Sullivan announced that Jay Leno will be the headline entertainment at the Host Committee's Big Ticket Gala.  The black-tie event will be held at the Phoenician Resort in Phoenix on Wednesday, January 30, just days before the AFC and NFC champions take the field for Super Bowl XLII in Glendale.

A renowned sports fan, Jay Leno is in his 16th season as host of NBC's The Tonight Show, and will tape his show early that day in Los Angeles in order to be in Phoenix for the Gala.  The Big Ticket Gala will mark the second time the late-night television star has come to Arizona for Super Bowl events; in 1996 he taped episodes of The Tonight Show in Arizona during Super Bowl XXX week.

"We are thrilled that Jay will be joining us for our Big Ticket Gala,˛ said Host Committee President Bob Sullivan.  "From the first moment we began planning this event we felt he would be the ideal person to have as the headline entertainment, and we couldn't be happier that he agreed.  Jay is the definition of an entertainer, and he will certainly help make it a very memorable evening."

The Host Committee also announced today that legendary ESPN football anchor Chris Berman will emcee the Big Ticket Gala.  Berman has been named the National Sportscaster of the Year six times by the National Sportscasters and Sportswriters Association, and has also won 10 Emmy awards.  The ESPN veteran is a well-suited host for the evening, as the Big Ticket Gala will feature a significant presence from the Professional Football Hall of Fame; Berman, who also emcees the Hall of Famešs annual induction ceremony in Canton, Ohio, will help honor numerous Hall of Famers who will be in attendance.  

The Big Ticket Gala will showcase the Hall of Famešs traveling exhibit of football memorabilia and will include a live and silent auction; among numerous other items, the auction will feature a Harley Davidson motorcycle autographed by Jay Leno, former Raiders linebacker Howie Long, and the other Hall of Famers in attendance. Tickets to the gala are available through the Host Committee, by emailing bigticket@azsuperbowl.com .

The Arizona Super Bowl Host Committee is a private, non-profit Arizona corporation that serves as a liaison with the National Football League in organizing local efforts and preparations leading up to the Super Bowl. It has the responsibility to implement Arizona's action plan for Super Bowl XLII, which culminates with the game on February 3, 2008 at University of Phoenix Stadium in Glendale.
