The former “Tonight Show” host revealed in a new interview that he is recovering from multiple broken bones that he sustained in a motorcycle accident.
“It’s so funny you should say that,” Leno said in response to a Las Vegas Review-Journal reporter asking how he was doing in his recovery from a November 2022 car fire that severely burned him.
“That was the first accident. OK?” the 72-year-old continued. “Then just last week, I got knocked off my motorcycle. So I’ve got a broken collarbone. I’ve got two broken ribs. I’ve got two cracked kneecaps.”
Leno assured the interviewer that he is “OK” after the Jan. 17 accident and is even working this weekend.
I was driving down a highway near me about 2 weeks ago, I saw a few closed up farm stands that close for the winter. They both had rope across the driveway entrance with a small piece of white fabric tied to it. I thought about how dangerous that could be if someone pulled off the highway, straight for their driveway but did not see it. I can't count the number of motorcycles I see on that road.

explained that he had been testing a 1940 Indian motorcycle and noticed the scent of leaking gas — an uncanny similarity to the explosion in his garage just months prior —*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 explained. “So, you know, I didn’t see it until it was too late. It just clotheslined me and, boom, knocked me off the bike.
When asked by the reporter why he hadn’t said anything publicly for 9 days, Leno of course tried cracking a joke: “You know, after getting burned up, you get that one for free,” Leno said. “After that, you’re Harrison Ford, crashing airplanes. You just want to keep your head down.”
It might be time for Jay to have a neurological evaluation to make sure he's not experiencing symptoms of dementia that may be impacting his judgement.

Why, cause he didn't see a wire that some idiot carelessly and incorrectly used to close off a lot that just about anyone would have also missed?

True, dementia has a way of impelling people to keep going and not stop. Leno loves his vehicles but at this rate, he's going to die in one. Hope he doesn't hurt anyone else on his way out. If I was family or friend, I'd be pleading for him to at least stop riding motorcycles!

If you ride motorcycles, you'd know that is exactly what those who love riding motorcycles feel when they are riding! You just wanna keep going! Stopping when riding a motorcycle is not fun.
Probably the one of the reasons why those who lane-share, do so.
Half the time I am riding to some place and I am really in the mood to ride, I am debating whether to stop or keep on riding.
I ride a fast Ducati, a Harley and I’m as old as dust.
Senile/dementia?
Na, I just like fun.
Everyone is different.
While I’m out shopping for a new fishing boat this next month some guys younger than me might be toting around an oxygen bottle or possibly a walker.
Sucks to be them.
Once again, one size or situation does not fit all.
