Jay Leno Falls 60 Feet, Performs Despite Injuries

Jay Leno, the former 'Tonight Show' host, sustained multiple injuries after falling down a 60-foot hill near Pittsburgh while attempting a shortcut to a restaurant. Despite a swollen eye, a broken wrist, and facial bruises, Leno performed at a scheduled comedy show shortly after the accident. This incident adds to a series of recent injuries for the 74-year-old comedian, including severe burns from a garage fire in 2022 and multiple fractures from a motorcycle accident in 2023. Leno, known for his resilience, downplayed the fall, saying, 'The great thing about this age, you don’t learn by your mistakes, you just keep doing the same stupid thing.' The fall occurred when Leno decided to bypass a longer walking route, leading to his tumble and resulting injuries. Despite his condition, Leno continues his scheduled performances, emphasizing his commitment to the audience and his profession.
