Jay Leno appeared to be in good shape and was joking around while recovering from a motorcycle accident that left him with several broken bones.
Page Six obtained photos of Leno, 72, looking unscathed as he pulled up in his car to his garage on Friday.
He also made a joke about crashing into Jeremy Renner, who survived his own scary accident involving a snowplow this month.
“I was riding my motorcycle up in Lake Tahoe, I came around the corner and crashed into Jeremy Renner’s snow plow,” Leno joked in exclusive video obtained by Page Six on Friday.
He added, “A little tricky.”
The TV host revealed that he was knocked off his motorcycle last week and broke his collarbone, and two ribs. He also cracked his kneecaps.
And this wasn’t the only major accident Leno has recently been in. Back in November 2022, a freak car fire left him with “serious” facial burns.
“It’s so funny you should say that,” Leno said this week in response to a Las Vegas Review-Journal reporter asking how he was doing in his recovery from the car fire.
“That was the first accident. OK?” he said before detailing which bones he broke after the Jan. 17 accident.
But he assured the reporter that he was doing “ok” and will even be back to work this weekend.
Leno had been testing a 1940 Indian motorcycle and noticed the scent of leaking gas and wanted to pull over.
“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,” he said. “So, you know, I didn’t see it until it was too late. It just clotheslined me and, boom, knocked me off the bike.
“The bike kept going, and you know how that works out.”
He had decided to keep quiet about his second accident because of all the media coverage over his hospitalization from his car accident.
“You know, after getting burned up, you get that one for free,” he said. “After that, you’re Harrison Ford, crashing airplanes. You just want to keep your head down.”
