BEVERLY HILLS, CA — Comedian and former longtime Tonight Show host Jay Leno, who fell 60 feet down a hill last weekend, was expected to make a full recovery until he was attacked by an angry chihuahua that made him step on a rake, which knocked him into the street where he was hit by an OmniTrans bus.
Leno was said to be in good spirits after the accident, which continued a trend of horrifying incidents that he has endured in recent years.
"Eh, what are you going to do?" Leno said as his usual upbeat self. "The dog wasn't a big deal. I like dogs, but he seemed to be a little bit angry, so then I stepped back onto a rake that swung up and whacked me out into the street. I probably would've been fine if it weren't for the bus. It went right over me. Boom. Boom. Two giant wheels, right over my esophagus. These things happen."
Paramedics rushed the comedian to Cedars-Sinai Medical Center, where he was initially pronounced dead but later came to while being zipped up in a body bag.
"What is this? A ziplock bag? I'm not leftovers!" Leno reportedly quipped, causing a nurse to faint while other hospital personnel burst into laughter. "Only in America will they throw you in a doggy bag as if God needs to take you to go. Goodnight, folks, you've been a wonderful audience!"
At publishing time, Jay Leno had suffered further injuries before leaving the hospital, as his wheelchair brakes malfunctioned, causing him to roll down several flights of stairs before landing on a gurney, being mistakenly taken in for surgery, and having his spleen removed.
And Jay has been in the news ... how?
Guess I’ll need to look.
OK, it’s funny.
Except for the bus, chihuahua, and rake ... well, it’s mostly correct.
Looks like he spoke at an awards show for the self-absorbed and someone wrote about his falls, burns and whatnot, from several years of living.
Have you ever had a friend who just seemed to be snakebit? His life seemed to be a rolling train wreck. I have.
It’s been my studied opinion that 99% of the time I find myself in the situation I’m in because I put myself there.
😂 It’s good to laugh, love, live.
I didn’t watch the entire video, but he did get banged-up.
A bruise covers the entire left side of his face and he’d busted some bones.
Is alcohol involved in any way?
A rock shaped like a hand slapped him repeatedly in the face while it was resting on the ground.
It was a right handed rock.
Leno’s wife has dementia. He’s a standup guy.
Masonic one eye club?
On PlutoTV I watched a Johnny Carson episode that was a few days before the 1980 election. I was overseas at the time so did not experience all the election tiredness—probably like the 2024 election with Hitler and all...
Anyway, Johnny came out with his monologue and his most hard hitting joke was Nancy was the Evita of Beverely Hills—which got laughs and he bactracked a bit saying he could get into trouble and not invited to the Whitehouse. (I supposed Reagan was presumed to win)
That is the political humor I like...gentle poking fun—and Jay Leno was the same that I ever heard-—a more generalized political humor—nothing vicious.
I yearn for those old days of civility...
Like poking fun at RFK jr and the bablylon bee’s recent send up of school lunches consisting of a 24 oz rib eye and a black cherry white claw seltzer....funny
He is a good guy. He use to stop where I worked many moons ago and chat down in Malibu Canyon. He would show everyone his latest new classic car or motorcycle. He loved being the ham and chatting with everyone on the construction site.
He should keep Jada Pinketts name out his mouf
Not in my friend’s case. Hardly drinks at all. He just seems to have bad things happening to him all the time.
