Last weekend, Jay Leno suffered third-degree burns on his face, chest, and hands after a car he was working on suddenly caught on fire. Because of his injuries, he was rushed to the Grossman Burn Center, and they spent the last week working on making him better.
They did such a great job on the 72-year-old that he was released from the hospital this morning.
“After a 10-day stay at the facility, Jay will receive follow-up care at the Grossman Outpatient Burn Clinic for burns to his face, chest, and hands he received during a fire at his home garage,” Grossman Burn Center said in a statement to People. “Jay would like to let everyone know how thankful he is for the care he received, and is very appreciative of all of the well wishes. He is looking forward to spending Thanksgiving with his family and friends and wishes everyone a wonderful holiday.”
Along with the statement, the hospital released a photo of Leno. It is the first time we are seeing his mug since the accident, and he looks great. You can barely see any scarring.
Hopefully, his recovery will continue to go smoothly.
Jay Leno loves his cars, and he takes excellent care of them. However, yesterday he suffered facial burns when one of his cars caught on fire.
The host told Variety in a statement, “I got some serious burns from a gasoline fire. I am ok. Just need a week or two to get back on my feet.”
According to TMZ, he was rushed to Grossman Burn Center where he remains for the time being.
News of his medical emergency first broke on People. Leno was supposed to appear at an event in Las Vegas yesterday but cancelled at the last minute. His people told The Financial Brand that he suffered a “very serious medical emergency.” They did not elaborate about what had happened, so everyone was worried about the 72-year-old’s health.
Hopefully, he will recuperate quickly and not be scarred.

Jay Leno and Blake Shelton went for a ride in one of Elvis Presley’s trucks on Jay Leno’s Garage. If you are going to sit where The King sat, then you have to eat what he ate. Therefore, the two men went to a restaurant that serves dishes the legendary singer liked to munch down on.
Leno ordered for both of them. The host got a steak, and he got the County singer a peanut butter, banana, and bacon sandwich. At first, Shelton let his voice be heard that he was not into it. Then, he took a bite, and he liked it.
It sounds unappetizing. But sometimes the most unappealing things are the most appealing.

Did you know that Jay Leno was in First Daughter, Dave, The Astronaut Farmer, Mad City, In & Out, Wag The Dog, Delivery Man, Cars, Mr. 3000, Juwanna Man, Dave Again, and The Birdcage? Are you saying you don’t remember him in any of those movies? Well, that is because he was playing himself on the small screen.
Buck LePard took almost all of his big screen appearances and made a supercut of them. What we got is a reminder of what his monologues used to be like.
Are you saying thanks for the memories, or there is a reason why I forgot about him?
BTW I wonder which talk show host will take over for him on the big screen? I think James Corden and Jimmy Fallon will fight to the death for the opportunity.
Before Jay Leno interviewed Fran Drescher on The Tonight Show, they shared scenes in American Hot Wax together. How much fun was it to see the 27-year-old actor act with the 20-year-old actress in that 1978 movie?
