Jay Leno Suffers ANOTHER Freak Accident, What’s Going On Here?

It’s very possible that Jay Leno is having the worst luck of anyone not named Jeremy Renner.

Or it’s possible something else is going on?

Did Jay cross the wrong people?

Did Jay refuse to go Woke and is now paying the price?

Look, I don’t know…

I don’t have any inside information.

All I know is it’s extremely unlikely and the worst luck ever to be burned alive when gasoline explodes as you’re working on one of your cars (Jay is very experienced) and then just a few weeks after that recovery you suffer another FREAK accident.

I’m just saying…

And wait till you hear the details of this latest one.

Jay Leno had surgery on Tuesday to repair multiple broken bones after he drove into a wire he could not see in a motorcycle accident this month. “A 72-year-old man driving an 83-year-old motorcycle. What could go wrong?” he said on Friday. https://t.co/Yz57Ty9p7J

Jeesh. I’m feeling like #JayLeno needs to be enveloped in bubble-wrap. Non-flammable.

Ok, so it was a motorcycle accident, but here’s HOW it happened.

Allegedly, reportedly, Jay was riding his bike down a street and someone had strung out an invisible wire that basically clotheslined him.

What in the world?

Yes, that’s really the story.

CNN confirms:

Jay Leno says he broke multiple bones in a motorcycle accident months after suffering severe burns to his face after another mishap.

In an interview with the Las Vegas Review-Journal, the former late-night talk show host said he was knocked off his bike on January 17 and suffered a broken collarbone, two broken ribs and two cracked kneecaps.

“But I’m OK!” Leno said. “I’m OK, I’m working. I’m working this weekend.”

The comedian, who has a standup residency in Vegas, explained that he had been testing out a 1940 Indian motorcycle when he noticed the smell of leaking gasoline.

“So I turned down a side street and cut through a parking lot, and unbeknownst to me, some guy had a wire strung across the parking lot but with no flag hanging from it,” Leno said. “So, you know, I didn’t see it until it was too late. It just clothesline me and, boom, knocked me off the bike.”

Leno said he didn’t initially go public about the accident due to all the publicity he had received following the November incident in which his face was burned while he was working underneath an antique 1907 car.

And from the Las Vegas Review:

If his run of tough luck continues, Jay Leno will be known as the comedy star who performs his own stunts.

Prepping for his return to the Strip in March, Leno is recovering from a fire in his garage in Los Angeles last November. He suffered second-degree burns over his upper body and part of his face while repairing the fuel line in a 1907 White Steam Car.

That’s the incident we know about. But there’s another mishap, this month, which Leno disclosed in a phone chat Thursday.

Referring to the November fire, I asked, “How are you doing, especially after the accident?”

“It’s so funny you should say that,” said Leno, headlining for Encore Theater for the first time on March 31, his first Vegas show since the November incident. “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.”

“Whoa,” I said. “Whoa, Sir.”

“But I’m OK!” Leno said. “I’m OK, I’m working. I’m working this weekend.”

Leno specified the accident happened nine days earlier (or, Jan. 17), again as he was working on a vintage vehicle. He was testing a 1940 Indian motorcycle and noticed the scent of leaking gas (fuel lines have been unkind to Leno recently).

“So I turned down a side street and cut through a parking lot, and unbeknownst to me, some guy had a wire strung across the parking lot but with no flag hanging from it,” Leno said. “So, you know, I didn’t see it until it was too late. It just clothesline me and, boom, knocked me off the bike.

“The bike kept going, and you know how that works out.”
Under medical care, usually.
Leno said he hadn’t said anything about the accident because of the massive amount of coverage from his November hospitalization and recovery.

“You know, after getting burned up, you get that one for free,” Leno said. “After that, you’re Harrison Ford, crashing airplanes. You just want to keep your head down (laughs).”
Leno has been featured in the Aces of Comedy series at Mirage Theater for about 15 years. But he was impressed with Encore Theater at the Wynn when he was in town as a superstar guest at the Concours d’Elegance car show last October.
