It’s not just cats that have seven lives. The host Jay Leno is almost an indestructible by having survived a gas fire since 2022 in his garage, a motorcycle accident and a fall of 60 feet at the bottom of a hill! Having recently broke the silence on these misadventures, Leno wanted to minimize them.
“People are injured all the time in real trades” joked Leno in an episode ofIn Depth With Graham Bensinger.
However, the worst bad luck seems to arrive at the 75 -year -old American recently. Last November, when he was to give a show in Pennsylvannie, Jay Leno had descended a 60 -foot slope in front of his hotel. He had hit his head on a rock.
Despite a fractured wrist and numerous bruises in the face and body, the humorist had gone on stage for his show.

With a cache
When Graham Benserger asked him why he wanted to go on stage before he even went to a doctor, Leno had shrugged by saying that he had “a show to do”. “I mean, there is an audience waiting. What do you want to tell them? “Excuse me, I hit my head.”? “
Staying that his eye having then completely closed at the time, Jay Leno thought that he had become blind with an eye. He went on stage wearing a cache.
“I will continue to be a humorist, just a humorist with a single eye,” said Leno, little shaken by the event. And three days later, it was reopened! ”
“It was quite funny to fall from this stupid hill,” he continues. I broke my wrist. Nothing too serious. But my face was really laughed. “

Leno also minimized this accident, saying to Bensinger that the most difficult had been to “answer the phone” to reassure people.
Even the burns did not prevent him from going up quickly on stage, at that time. “I missed two shows and was inactive eight or nine days. It was not so worse. “
“I could still stand up”
Finally, Leno underwent another accident, this time of motorcycle in 2023. He had almost been beheaded and got away with fractures in the two ball joints, a collarbone and two ribs. “I could still stand up, so it was going,” he said.
Having become “injuries experts”, Leno tells laughing that he called his “facial specialist” after this accident. “He had already redone me a face [en 2022]so I told him that I needed another one. He did a great job. We can’t see anything. “

He pointed out that his vast collection of cars, whose value is estimated at almost half a billion dollars would be sufficient to adjust a game debt. “They would just take one of my cars,” he said.
