Jay Leno broke his collarbone and several other bones in a motorcycle accident last week, the comic revealed in an interview published Thursday night. The revelation comes less than two months after he suffered second-degree burns in a car fire in his Burbank garage — and at the same time "Jay Leno's Garage" would be ending its run on CNBC.
While preparing for his March return to stand-up comedy on the Las Vegas Strip, the former "Tonight Show" host told the Las Vegas Review-Journal that the November gas fire was only the first of his recent grisly mishaps.
"That was the first accident. OK? Then just last week, I got knocked off my motorcycle," the 72-year-old TV icon said. "So I've got a broken collarbone. I've got two broken ribs. I've got two cracked kneecaps."
