Comedian Jay Leno Says He’s ‘All Black And Blue’ After Recent Fall Injured His Face & Broke His Wrist

As a follower who has witnessed Jay Leno‘s resilience and tenacity through his numerous challenges, I am both admiring and concerned about his latest mishap. This man, known for his quick wit and humor, seems to have an uncanny knack for finding himself in extraordinary situations.


Previously enduring several injuries, Jay Leno encountered another accident, this time causing harm to his face and wrist. The ex-host of The Tonight Show discussed the incident while wearing an eyepatch in an interview with Inside Edition before his show in Southern California.

For those unfamiliar, Leno, who was lodging at Pennsylvania’s Hampton Inn, opted to dine at a nearby restaurant before his performance. Since he didn’t have a car, he decided to walk and shorten his route by taking a path up a hill. What he apparently failed to notice was that it was more steep than he initially perceived. As a result, the comedian is said to have tumbled about 60 feet down the slope. During this fall, his head struck a rock.

During an interview with Inside Edition, he disclosed that he had fractured his wrist and lost a fingernail. He also mentioned that he was left with numerous bruises, adding “And then I was all black and blue.” In another conversation with TMZ, he shared the story of why he was sporting an eye patch.

The comic jokingly mentioned that as he tumbled and struck his head against a stone, his eye got involuntarily dislodged too. It’s said that Leno only went to the hospital after his show at the Yaamava Casino had ended.

As a devoted fan, I can’t help but share my excitement when I heard Jay Leno, the legendary Tonight Show host, being asked about his vision by Inside Edition. When they inquired if he might lose his sight, he replied with an air of assurance, saying it would be “all good” and that there was no need for him to feel “anxious” or “concerned” about such a scenario.

In terms of injuries, Leno has experienced some serious accidents in the past too. In fact, he underwent treatment for second-degree and third-degree burns on his face, hands, and chest following a garage fire caused by gasoline in 2022, as reported by Entertainment Weekly.

Afterward, he received treatment at the Grossman Burn Centre in California, staying for nine days. During this time, he underwent two surgical procedures involving skin grafts. One operation utilized human cadaver skin, while the second one employed pig intestine, as stated in the report.

2023 saw him reminiscing to the Las Vegas Review-Journal about an incident where he was involved in a motorbike crash, which left him with several fractured bones.

He told the outlet, “So I’ve got a broken collarbone. I’ve got two broken ribs. I’ve got two cracked kneecaps.” He shared that he was ultimately fine but had still planned to work during that weekend.
