In November, Jay Leno suffered “severe burns” and was hospitalized after a vehicle in his infamous garage caught fire. previous one show tonight the host suffered severe facial burns , hands and chest, and underwent “high pressure oxygen therapy” while in hospital. He recovered over the next few months, but we just learned that Leno suffered a second accident last week, breaking several bones. At that moment she was on his bike.
While the news of the fire was concerning enough that the press learned of his accident and hospitalization fairly quickly, Jay Leno managed to keep this second incident a secret for over a week. The comedian is expected to return to Las Vegas at the Encore Theater at the Wynn in March. Prior to this period, he told the Las Vegas review magazine Thursday who is technically recovering from two incidents: the fire and a motorcycle accident.
It’s so funny you say that. It was the first accident. ALL RIGHT? Then last week I got thrown off the bike. So I have a broken collarbone. I have two broken ribs. I have two broken kneecaps.
Jay Leno owns a number of vintage vehicles and told the outlet he was testing one: a 1940 Indian motorcycle. He said it smelled like gasoline, so he called it quits. Unfortunately he chose a parking space that was not properly signposted, realizing too late that the owner had chosen to wire the parking space but hadn’t put up any “flags” or any sort of markers to mark the location with any wires.
So I turned into a side street and went through a parking lot and unbeknownst to me a guy had a wire strung across the parking lot but no flag hanging. So, you know, I didn’t see it until it was too late. He just threw my clothes and boom, he threw me off the bike.
It sounds like the kind of thing that would pass for a stunt in a comedy movie or a gruesome ending in a horror movie, but honestly, it’s the kind of accident that could have been so much worse. While he was unfortunate to be thrown off his bike, and broken collarbone and ribs were no joke, his injuries could have been more extensive.
Meanwhile, you can’t keep Jay Leno. After being hospitalized about the fire situation, Leno joked a lot about the experience and even got a few jokes from Tim Allen. This time around, he’s also in good spirits, noting that he’s kept those injuries low not to compare to Harrison Ford and his plane crash.
You know, after you burn yourself, you get it for free. After that, you are Harrison Ford, crashing planes. You just want to keep your head down (laughs).
Sure, he jokes about situations like these, but Leno actually seems to have a practical perspective on the matter, noting that when a person works with their hands, “you’re going to have an accident at some point.” He’s had more than one of those moments in the last few months.
Our thoughts are with the comedian during his (apparently) long recovery. Fingers crossed that it hit its crash quota for the year.
