Jay Leno is putting his love of classic cars to good use, and one lucky Wheel of Fortune contestant is about to benefit from it.
During the Monday, May 11 episode of Wheel of Fortune, Leno appeared alongside cohost Vanna White to announce a special giveaway tied to the show’s “Big Money Week.” The former late-night host revealed that he partnered with Yaamava’ Resort & Casino to gift a 2026 Chevrolet Corvette C8 to the week’s final winner.
In a pre-taped segment, Leno drove White to the California resort to unveil the sleek white sports car, which carries a price tag of roughly $70,000.
“They know I'm a car enthusiast, so they'll pick cool cars to give away,” Leno explained during the segment, calling the Corvette “America’s sports car.”
The winner will ultimately be selected on Friday, May 15, during a bonus-round showdown between all five contestants who win throughout the week.
Of course, cars are more than just a casual hobby for Leno. Beyond hosting The Tonight Show for decades, the comedian is famous for maintaining one of Hollywood’s most extensive car collections, housed in large hangars near California’s Burbank Airport. He also spent years hosting Jay Leno’s Garage, a series devoted entirely to rare and high-performance vehicles.
The upbeat game show appearance comes during a more emotional period at home. Earlier this year, the 76-year-old opened up about caring for his wife, Mavis Leno, following her advanced dementia diagnosis.

“Changing somebody is not the most romantic thing you can do,” he shared on Maria Shriver’s podcast in January. “But you realize, OK, it doesn’t get more intimate than that.”
Leno also addressed the public praise he’s received for remaining devoted to Mavis after 45 years of marriage, admitting he’s surprised loyalty now feels unusual to people.
“You take a vow when you get married and people are stunned… they’re so shocked that you would live up to it,” he said.
