Former “Tonight Show” host <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/topic/jay-leno">Jay Leno</a> explained why he’s walking around with severe black and blue bruises on his face, an eye patch, and a broken wrist.
The 74-year-old late-night icon <a href="https://www.insideedition.com/media/videos/jay-leno-tells-inside-edition-he-fell-down-a-60-foot-hill-in-pennsylvania-89629">told</a> “Inside Edition” on Tuesday that he fell down the side of a hill on his way to dinner before a recent stand-up show in Pittsburgh.
“I’m a little beat up,” he told the outlet.” “I fell 60 feet. Boom, boom, boom, boom.”
Leno said the black and blue bruises appeared after he “hit a bunch of rocks” during his tumble. The comedian also said one of the rocks hit his eye, which explains the eye patch. Leno revealed that he also lost a fingernail.

When the Inside Edition interviewer asked about Leno’s eyesight, he said, “It’ll be fine. I’m not worried about it.”

The fall didn’t keep Leno from performing at his scheduled show just three hours later and putting on another show in Beverly Hills over the weekend.
This is not Leno&#8217;s first serious accident. In January, he was involved in a motorcycle accident and sustained multiple broken bones. In 2022, he was working to repair a fuel line on one of his vintage cars when a leak caused gasoline to spray over his hands and face. A spark then ignited the gas. Leno underwent a series of treatments, including grafting procedures on both his hands and face. He credited his close friend standing nearby with acting quickly, likely saving his life.
In May, Leno said he was “lucky” to have survived so many accidents which could have been fatal.
“First of all they’re accidents. If they were deliberate, I would be complaining,” Leno said at the time.
He continued, “Look, I’ve been extremely lucky in my life, you know, and even though the accidents weren’t fun, I was still pretty lucky,” he added. “I didn’t lose an eye, I’m not horribly disfigured … well, just regular disfigured.”
“I’ve got a lot to be grateful for,” Leno <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/ive-been-extremely-lucky-in-my-life-jay-leno-says-he-doesnt-let-recent-horrific-accidents-upset-him">said</a>. “First of all, in Hollywood – it’s only how you look, nobody cares how you feel like. I mean I still have a broken collar bone, two broken ribs and two cracked knee caps, but I’m getting around.”
