Jay Leno suffered "serious burns" in a gasoline fire on Nov. 12, but looked happy and healthy in a photo shared Monday after he was discharged from the Grossman Burn Center
Jay Leno is headed home.
The former Tonight Show host, 72, was discharged from Grossman Burn Center in the Los Angeles area on Monday, nine days after he suffered "serious burns" in a garage gasoline fire. Center staff shared an image of the smiling comedian alongside several of his caretakers.
"Comedian Jay Leno was released from the Grossman Burn Center today," doctors shared in a release obtained by PEOPLE on Monday. "After a 10-day stay at the facility, Jay will receive follow-up care at the Grossman Outpatient Burn Clinic for burns to his face, chest and hands he received during a fire at his home garage. Jay would like to let everyone know how thankful he is for the care he received, and is very appreciative of all of the well wishes. He is looking forward to spending Thanksgiving with his family and friends and wishes everyone a wonderful holiday."
Within the statement, his physician Dr. Peter Grossman added, "I am pleased with Jay's progress, and I am optimistic that he will make a full recovery."
Leno underwent treatment involving surgical excision and grafting procedure, which removes unhealthy tissue in an effort to promote wound healing and reduce the risk of infection. Grossman said that with Leno's burns, "much of the thickness of the skin was injured" in some areas, so unhealthy tissue was being removed.

I used to have an old Buick that would run after I turned off the key.
That is known as ‘Dieseling’, and can damage your engine..................
I was in his studio audience twice in the 2000s.
Looks like one side of his famous chin got burnt.
I remember my dad refilling the push mower when I was just a tyke. For some mad reason I touched the exhaust pipe and got a nice burn on my index finger.
For a long time I stayed clear of that mower until I was a preteen and got put to using that thing.
Then I hated it even more! 😜
Late night programs became so booooring.
Nothing but an evening exercise in Trump bashing.
Jay still has his eyebrows, that is something. Very good fortune that the burns did not extend to deeper tissues, though the regrowth of skin is going to be painful enough.
He’s a multi-millionaire and veteran late night TV legend, but still needs to work on cars?
Never watched his term on the tonite show very much but liked him more than Letterman. (have zero ABC/CBS/NBC “late nite” show experience boyond that period). Later liked Leno in his role on the Tim Allen show, Last Man Standing, as well As on Jay’s own car show.
No, he just enjoys it.
An auto repair shop next to where I work burned the same way a few weeks ago. Mechanic was changing a leaky fuel pump and a spark ignited the fuel. The mechanic also suffered severe burns, but recovered. They lost half the shop, which was pieced together with two buildings. Hope Jay continues to improve. One of the good guys.
I know he is a Lefty, but...I kind of like him. Never watched him much, but...didn’t watch much television back then, and almost none at all today.
Burns are nothing to sneeze at, that is for sure. I wish him well.
I was preparing homemade french fries for my son as an after-school snack. I overloaded the fryer basket and it slipped out of my hand and back into the boiling oil, splashing all over the inside of my forearm. I had on hand some medical grade burn cream (from my prep supplies) and applied it after run cold water over the area for a few minutes. It healed completely but I got rid of the deep fat fryer.
I was cleaning sticky oil from my cabinets and drawers for days.
“We’d been pulling maintenance on the pigs...”
Okay, I’ll bite. To what are you referring when you say, “pig?”
Never pee on burning jp4
LAV-25
When I was in College, I worked at a McDonald’s in Maryland in the summer of 1986. I occasionally worked the french fry machines, and the lard — yes, we used lard at the time — would pop and occasionally get on my skin and burn it. Then, when I reached under the warming light to get fries for somebody, the warming light would burn the area all over again.
My boss got severely burned while making peanut brittle over Christmas some years ago, and was hospitalized for a few days.
If anyone can pass along a note to Jay’s doctor’s...
ReCell. Miraculous burn treatment
Melted sugar is like lava.
I’m going to display my ignorance here: A gasoline fire while working on a steam engine?
Okay, fire away.
