Jay Leno, the 74-year-old TV host and comedian, recently suffered injuries after falling down a hill while staying at a hotel. He was heading to a restaurant at the bottom of the hill and opted to walk directly down instead of using the designated path. The hill was around 60 to 70 feet high, and despite not seeming steep, Leno lost his footing and rolled down. He hit his head on a rock, causing bruising and swelling around his left eye.
Leno attended the Comedy For Kobe event in Beverly Hills on November 18, wearing an eyepatch and showing visible bruises on his face. He also had a bandaged wrist. Despite the injuries, Leno didn’t let the fall stop him and went on to perform a scheduled comedy show just three hours later.
This incident adds to a string of recent misfortunes for Leno. In 2022, he suffered serious burns while working on a vintage car, and in 2023, he was involved in a motorcycle crash that left him with broken bones, including a collarbone and ribs. He even cracked a few knee caps but continued to remain active, saying that despite the injuries, he would get back on his motorcycle.
Leno humorously reflected on his tough luck, stating that, had he been older, the motorcycle accident could have been fatal. He’s taken these challenges in stride, always quick to joke about the situations, even after serious injuries.
Through all these accidents, Leno’s resilience shines through. His attitude remains upbeat, and despite the physical setbacks, he continues to perform and maintain his sense of humor.
