<p>Comedian <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/topic/jay-leno">Jay Leno</a> has been through a lot in the last year, but he said on Saturday that even after all of that, there&#8217;s only one thing that could force him to retire: a stroke.</p>
<p>Leno, who appeared on Saturday at a kick-off event for his upcoming NBC reality show &#8220;Hot Wheels: Ultimate Challenge,&#8221; told fans that he would likely slow down if and when he ever suffered a stroke.</p>
<p>&#8220;Then you slow down,&#8221; he said. &#8220;That’s when you retire — when you have your stroke.&#8221;</p>
<p>The former &#8220;Tonight Show&#8221; host has been seriously injured in two serious accidents in the last year alone — just weeks apart — and has continued to perform even amid his ongoing recovery.</p>
<p>The first accident was an explosion and fire in his Los Angeles garage that caused <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/jay-leno-reveals-what-went-down-in-his-garage-says-a-quick-thinking-friend-saved-his-life" target="_blank" rel="noopener">third-degree burns</a> to his face and hands. Leno had been attempting to repair a fuel line in his 1907 White Steam Car at the time – and he later said that his friend Dave&#8217;s quick response was what ultimately saved his life. Dave, who was with Leno when the gasoline ignited, smothered the flames.</p>
<p>The comedian spent several days in the hospital, where he was treated with skin grafts and some time in a hyperbaric chamber.</p>
<p><a href="https://pagesix.com/2022/11/28/jay-leno-returns-to-stage-after-suffering-third-degree-burns/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Within a week</a> of his discharge from the hospital, he was back onstage performing stand-up for a sold-out crowd in Hermosa Beach, California.</p>
<p>Just two months later, Leno, 73, suffered several broken bones in a <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/jay-leno-suffers-broken-bones-in-motorcycle-accident-months-after-getting-burned-in-garage-fire-cracks-jokes-about-it" target="_blank" rel="noopener">motorcycle accident</a>. He only revealed the news <a href="https://www.reviewjournal.com/entertainment/entertainment-columns/kats/jay-leno-breaks-bones-in-2nd-accident-after-announcing-vegas-return-2719088/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">after being asked</a> by the Las Vegas Review-Journal how his recovery from the burns was progressing, at which point he said, &#8220;That was the first accident. OK? Then just last week, I got knocked off my motorcycle. So I’ve got a broken collarbone. I’ve got two broken ribs. I’ve got two cracked kneecaps.&#8221;</p>
<p>&#8220;I’m OK!&#8221; Leno told the apparently shocked interviewer. &#8220;I’m OK, I’m working. I’m working this weekend.&#8221;</p>
