Former “Tonight Show” host Jay Leno will be the closing keynote speaker at this year’s annual BNY Mellon Pershing INSITE conference in Orlando, Fla., which runs June 6-8.

The former late-night funnyman is expected to discuss his obsession with automobiles while sharing moments from his career as “the hardest-working man in show business.”

If expectations are fulfilled, Leno’s closing general session is likely to be more light-hearted than the opening session, when former FBI director James will deliver the keynote address.

Comey, an attorney, served as director of the FBI from 2013 until his dismissal by President Donald Trump on May 9, 2017. He became the subject of controversy during the 2016 U.S. presidential election, when he made a public communications regarding an investigation into Democratic candidate Hillary Clinton’s email less than a month before election day. Critics contend the move may have played a role in Clinton's defeat to Trump, the Republican candidate.

Comey has also been in the news lately with the release of his book, "A Higher Loyalty," in which he details his personal interactions with Trump. In a TV interview leading up to the book's release, Comey called Trump "morally unfit to be president."

President Trump, in turn, has responded by calling Comey "a slimeball" and questioned whether Comey's alleged leaks represented violations of the law in their own right. Defenders of the president have charged that special counsel Robert Mueller, himself a former FBI director, might never have been asked to open the subsequent, ongoing investigation were it not for Comey's activities.

Other keynote speakers include David Kelly, chief global strategist of JP Morgan Asset Management; Jenn Lim, CEO and chief happiness officer of Delivering Happiness; theoretical physicist Michio Kaku; and Jim McKelvey, co-founder of Square.

Pershing's INSITE conference is one of the largest events of the year for both advisors and brokers because Pershing serves as both a custodian to RIAs and the clearing firm for many independent broker-dealers.
