Is it true that laughter is the best medicine? Maybe. But Jay Leno's recent experiences prove that even comedians aren't immune to life's hard knocks, from freak accidents to heartbreaking personal challenges.
The beloved former host of "The Tonight Show" has been making headlines lately, not for his sharp wit or impressive car collection, but for a series of unfortunate events. In a recent interview with Hoda Kotb on "Today," Leno recounted a mishap involving a 1907 White steam car. While tinkering with the vintage vehicle, he sustained a fall that resulted in a broken wrist and significant bruising to his face. "People get banged up all the time," the comedian quipped, ever the optimist even when discussing his own injuries.
