Left: Talk show host Jay Leno pays for his ticket by performing MC duties for the charity raffles. His slightly blue collar point of view brings a nice balance to the event. On one occasion he described the value of a Rolex watch set being raffled: "Just think, this watch is so valuable there are people in the world who will cut off your arm just to steal it from you". Jay usually has one of his classic cars entered.
Right: The ultimate sign of the good life, fresh hand rolled cigars, are available.
