Jay Leno is ‘all black and blue’ and sporting an eye patch after 60-foot downhill tumble
LA TimesJay Leno suffered several injuries, including a broken wrist, after falling down a hill hours before his Friday show in Pittsburgh. Along with hurting his eye, Leno broke his wrist and lost a nail, he told Inside Edition : “I am all black and blue.” Despite the incident, the former host of “The Tonight Show” went on with his show as scheduled. When you have 2,600 people waiting on you, he told TMZ, “The show must go on.” Leno was later treated for his injuries upon returning to Los Angeles, where he also went ahead with a Saturday show at the Yaamava’ Theater near San Bernardino. “I’m working this weekend.” Just two months before that, almost exactly two years ago, the “Jay Leno’s Garage” star was treated for second- and third-degree burns he sustained while working on an old car in his Burbank garage.
