Jay Leno, 74, reveals a new cast on his finger as his face bruise continues to heal after freak 60ft fall

As a seasoned journalist with decades of experience under my belt, I’ve seen it all – from the heights of success to the depths of scandal. However, the tale of Jay Leno’s latest misadventure left me utterly flabbergasted! It seems like every time I turn around, this man finds a new way to land himself in hot water – or rather, flames in this case!

On Sunday, Jay Leno was spotted leaving, having recovered from a fall he experienced two weeks prior, which occurred when he tumbled down a steep 60-foot slope.

As I reflect on the recent healing process of a rather unsightly bruise gracing my visage, another mishap has come to light – or rather, a fresh scrape, acquired during a spirited drive through the vibrant streets of Burbank, California.

Previously, the ex-host of the late-night talk show was sporting a cast on one of his fingers, suggesting a severe injury. He had earlier disclosed that he had lost one of his fingernails.

In a surprising incident, the veteran stand-up comedian, aged 74, previously mentioned that he sustained a broken wrist. This incident left his admirers in shock.

The event happened towards the end of November, specifically in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania, during his performance there.

On his excursion, Jay opted for a relaxed style, donning a well-worn blue denim shirt, paired with a sleek dark blue Tesla.

Around a week past, Leno shared details about the accident with Inside Edition, stating that he collided with a cluster of stones during his devastating fall in Pennsylvania, where he was performing a stand-up act.

He shared that he had fractured his wrist and lost a fingernail in the process. After falling from a height of sixty feet, he was left with bruises all over. Amazingly, three hours later, he went ahead and performed his show. It wasn’t until his return to Los Angeles that he sought medical attention.

It was also revealed on Friday that he enjoyed a hearty Italian dinner after his fall which some find odd.

Jay reportedly ordered chicken parmesan topped with lots of mozzarella after his accident.

Bill Erhard, supervisor at The Boulevard in Greensburg, Pennsylvania, verified that the celebrity showed up at the restaurant unplanned, even though he was suffering from severe injuries that usually prompt people to rush for immediate medical care, ‘without having made prior arrangements.’

When Inside Edition inquired about potentially naming a dish after him following Leno’s order, Erhard playfully replied, “We might consider it.

In a comfortable corner seat, the ex-host of The Tonight Show, apparently enjoyed the meal along with some garlic bread.

Following the evening meal, Leno stopped by a local CVS Drugstore to grab an eye patch, and then he took the stage for one of his stand-up comedy performances mere hours afterwards.

The accident inadvertently sparked a number of wild conspiracy theories among social media users who were convinced he might be lying about how he got hurt.

On the platform now referred to as X (formerly known as Twitter), some individuals who propagate conspiracy theories have circulated unverified claims suggesting that Leno, with an estimated net worth of $450 million, may have fallen victim to loan sharks, the mafia, or someone he could potentially incriminate.

I couldn’t help but feel a sense of triumph when people started cracking jokes about how, after our long-standing feud over NBC’s The Tonight Show, Conan O’Brien finally got his revenge on Leno. It was a bittersweet moment for me as a dedicated follower of the saga.

Here’s a different way of saying it: ‘A few years back, Jay Leno got burnt, is currently staying at Hampton Inn despite his wealth, sports an eye patch, battered face, broken wrist, and missing fingernail. Now he wants us to believe that… He tumbled down a slope?!’

Another tweeted: ‘I have never believed a conspiracy more than Jay Leno owing massive gambling debt.’

Some X users noted it was surprising that he chose to stay at a Hampton Inn, as this hotel chain is typically preferred by cost-conscious travelers rather than high-profile celebrities.

Furthermore, certain conspiracy enthusiasts have suggested that Leno has experienced a series of unusual and potentially fatal accidents throughout his lifetime.

It seems he received a blow to the head, judging by the black eye. Some people found it suspicious, while others wondered why just one side of his face appeared bruised.

One conspiracy theorist argued that there were ‘holes in this story’ and insisted that Leno would have ‘abrasions’ if he slid down a hill.

‘He’s in gambling debt and the collector sent a message,’ the conspiracy theorist claimed.

Others pleaded with Leno to ‘CUT THE S**T AND GO TO THE POLICE.’

Still, one Leno fan called out the unfounded theories.

‘Everyone assuming that Jay Leno received beatings from organized crime groups due to gambling debts is misinformed. Such high-profile celebrities aren’t physically harmed for unpaid gambling bills, especially when they possess over a thousand valuable classic cars. Continue enjoying the speculation, but remember that a 74-year-old man’s injuries are not entertainment.’

There is no evidence to suggest Leno is in any debt or involved in anything ‘strange and sinister’ as suggested by some on X.

In the chilly month of November 2022, I found myself admitted to a hospital, a result of an unfortunate incident that unfolded in my garage – a space brimming with my cherished collection of vintage automobiles.

George Swift, who works as a mechanic in the comedian’s private garage, shared with ET that it was a steam-powered vehicle which apparently caused the comedian’s hospitalization.

As a dedicated follower reporting on the intriguing vehicle I encountered today, I would say, “The car ran on steam, which it produced from gas. This gas was then sprayed out.” Swift, my colleague in the garage, shared this fascinating detail with me.

The employee went on to say that he phoned me, informing me about a fire, and adding that the fire department would be arriving shortly.

At approximately 12:30 PM that day, the Burbank Fire Department stated they responded to the residence of the late-night talk show host, where upon arrival, they evaluated and provided treatment for a single adult male.

Later, Leno was moved to a nearby hospital’s emergency department, followed by transportation to the Grossman Burn Center for more extensive treatment.

The representative from the healthcare facility shared with People magazine that Leno was feeling upbeat and moved by everyone’s concern and kind messages about his health status.

He desires to make it clear that he’s thriving and receiving exceptional care at the top-tier burn unit found in the U.S.

Leno later issued a statement himself, saying he ‘got some serious burns from a gasoline fire.’

‘I am ok,’ the former late-night host said. ‘Just need a week or two to get back on my feet.’

Additionally, he shared with TMZ that it was his friend, Dave, who played a heroic role in saving his life. By quickly diving onto him, Dave managed to extinguish the flames.

The host mentioned that while trying to unclog a blocked fuel line, he ended up getting splashed with gasoline on his hands and face.
