“When I came back to LA, I went to the hospital,” he said. “It was only a couple of hours of the show, so. It’s not that big of a deal, it’s fine!”

Three hours after his fall, Leno reportedly went on stage for a planned comedy event, demonstrating his refusal to let his most recent mishap hold him down.

Jay Leno’s injuries

As was already known, the horrific event that occurred over the weekend adds to Leno’s string of unlucky events in recent years. He made news last year when he was clotheslined off his motorcycle. He ended up with fractured bones that time.

“I still got a broken collarbone, two broken ribs, and a couple of cracked knee caps, so if you see me limping around here, well, you probably will for the next couple of videos,” Leno revealed in a video at the time.

“But like an idiot I am going to fix [the Indian motorcycle] and get back on it again, because as you know, once a man hits 40 you can’t really teach them anything. They just keep doing the same stuff over, and over, and over again. Luckily, I’m only 72, had I been an older man this could have been a serious accident.”

He added: “You can still see a little bit of a scar here [on my chin] and a scar on my neck [where the wire caught]; if I had been going like 50 or something, I probably would have been decapitated, so I was pretty lucky. And anytime you don’t get decapitated, well, that’s good luck.”

In contrast, the well-known former host of The Tonight Show with Jay Leno became viral in 2022 after images of him surfaced that revealed severe burns he had received while repairing one of his vehicles.

“I got some serious burns from a gasoline fire. I am OK. Just need a week or two to get back on my feet,” he told Page Six at the time.
