He's known as the host of "The Tonight Show" and that guy with all the cars, but legendary comedian Jay Leno is much more. On this edition of Up To Date, Leno tells some of his favorite stories, including the real one behind his children's book, If Roast Beef Could Fly.

Jay Leno performs at 7:30 p.m. Sunday Sept. 13 at the Kauffman Center. For tickets, visit www.kauffmancenter.org.

When I host Up To Date each morning at 9, my aim is to engage the community in conversations about the Kansas City area’s challenges, hopes and opportunities. I try to ask the questions that listeners want answered about the day’s most pressing issues and provide a place for residents to engage directly with newsmakers.
