Jay Leno Reveals He's 'Feeling Good' Despite Suffering Facial Bruises After Nasty Fall From A Hill

Former talk show host Jay Leno is proving that even a nasty fall can't keep him down.

Having suffered several bruises to his face after falling from a 60-foot Hill, the comedian attended the inaugural amfAR benefit event, where he disclosed that he's "feeling good."

Jay Leno had earlier stepped out for lunch in L.A. and was pictured with visible injuries to his face, sparking concerns.

Jay Leno Is 'Feeling Good' Despite Falling From A Hill

The 74-year-old former talk show host gave an update on his health after suffering from a fall. Leno played host to the inaugural amfAR benefit event and told the audience that he feels better.

"I'm feeling good," he said, per People Magazine. "I've got a broken wrist, but I'm all right.

Leno reportedly had his bruised face covered in makeup at the charity event, which was held to honor Sylvester Stallone and his wife, Jennifer Flavin Stallone.

Leno was seen stepping out for lunch on Thursday with visible injuries to his face. He was staying at a hotel outside of Pittsburgh before an event when the accident happened.

Reports say the hotel was located at the top of a hill, and Leno fell while trying to walk to a nearby restaurant.

"To get to it, I didn't have a car, so you had to walk about a mile and a half around. I said, 'Well, the hill doesn't look that steep. It's about 60-70 feet. Let me see if I can go down the hill,'" he shared, per TMZ.

"I fell down. Boom, boom, boom. I rolled down the hill, hit my head on a rock, knocked me in the eye," Leno added.

The Comedian Previously Suffered A Fire Accident

The former "Tonight Show" host got saved by the hair when he suffered a fire accident in November 2022.

At the time, Leno revealed that he sustained severe "burns" as flames erupted while working on one of his vintage cars.

"It's good. Things are good. I can't complain," he told E! News about his recovery at the time. "I just write jokes, tell jokes, get checked. Very simple process."

Just months after, in January 2023, Leno revealed to the Las Vegas Review-Journal that he broke several bones in a motorcycle accident on the 17th of the same month.

"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," Leno said, adding at the time that he is "very happy" in his life because of his wife, Mavis, who is currently battling dementia.

"I've been very lucky. I've been married to the same woman 45 years," he said, going on to add that his secret to a lasting relationship is "don't screw around — pretty simple."

Jay Leno Says 'Bad Things Happen To People Every Day'

While giving a health update after the two accidents that occurred within a short period, a car fire and a motorcycle accident, Leno reassured fans about his well-being and shared details about the incidents.

In his conversation with Page Six before the "Hot Wheels: Ultimate Challenge premiere," Leno said that he sustained only minor injuries in the accidents and is currently faring better.

"I'm doing good! I'm doing good! It's fine! I'm fine," he insisted. "Look, when you're in my position, when you're any kind of celebrity, you're luckier than most people."

He added, "So when something bad happens to you, you can't whine and complain about it because bad things happen to people every day — either they get burned, or they get cut — and they don't have the financial wherewithal I did."

The Comedian Filed To Become His Wife's Conservator

Leno has since filed for conservatorship over his wife, Mavis, as he continues to take care of her following her dementia diagnosis.

According to TMZ, the TV host sought legal authority over Mavis's affairs due to her condition.

Leno's filing would grant him the legal authority to make financial and medical decisions on Mavis' behalf.

The couple have been together for more than four decades but have no children, with Mavis once claiming it was her choice not to.

In a previous appearance on the "Kelly Clarkson" show, Jay encouraged people to "marry the person you wish you could be" and that he "married the perfect person."

Jay Leno Says Only One Thing Could Make Him Stop Working

During a 2023 interview with Page Six, the comedian shared that he's not set to stop working, even after a few health scares.

Leno admitted that the only event that would possibly make him consider retiring would be a stroke.

He expressed his intention to continue performing and working as long as he's physically able, commending the strong bond he has forged with his audience over the years.

"Then you slow down. That's when you retire—when you have your stroke," Leno said.
