This weekend, The Kennedy Center is awarding the 17th annual Mark Twain Prize for American Humor to Jay Leno. To pay tribute to Leno and celebrate comedy as an art form, Washington D.C.’s hometown bank, Capital One, is enlisting the help of Leno’s former beloved intern, Ross Mathews, to deliver laughs in unexpected places throughout the District.
