Jaws Jumbo Burger was the only company that thanked Jay Leno from the very beginning. The following Sunday Jeff Bouchard a friend of Jay’s from Gail & Rice takes an full page ad out in the Detroit Free Press Thanking Jay Leno. Umm…I wonder where he got that from. He thanked Jay Leno on someone else’s dime because the Palace where Jay performed paid for the ad. How sincere is that? We found out the from the Detroit News article that Leno spent his last night in Detroit at his friend Jeff Bouchard’s restaurant Bo Jack’s having a burger. Before going to the airport he made a stop at Arby’s. Umm…. of course if Mr. Leno came to Jaws Jumbo Burgers and had The Thank You Jay Leno Burger he would not have been hungry until dinner the next day. Now I was sending out press releases like crazy and multiple times inviting Jay Leno and his wife Mavis to come back to Michigan to try the burger named in his honor all expenses paid. Some press people told me to take them off my email list because I sent them a release more than 3 times. I also emailed and snail mailed the Jay Leno show. We still didn’t hear anything from Leno or his camp. July of 2009 we took out ¼ page ad in the Los Angeles Daily News hoping that Jay Leno would come because he had some free time until his new 10 pm show started in September. The ad offered to fly Jay and his wife Mavis all expenses paid on behalf of Jaws Jumbo Burgers back to MI. One of our customers gave a press package to Jay Leno at the Las Vegas Auto Show. When our customer handed Jay the package, Jay stated that he had the Jaws Burger Invite hanging in his office. I’ll be the first to say that Jay Leno is definitely the hardest working man in show biz. The show dates for his comedy tours are crazy busy. He's gotta have an assistant that can call and say, “Hey”! Mr. Leno says, “Knock it off”! or something. Right? Checkout the Jay Leno Invite Video.
