Jay Leno might just be auditioning for America’s Most Accident-Prone Comedian because the man has gone and done it again! This time, the 74-year-old former Tonight Show host took an unscheduled, Olympic-level tumble down a 60-foot hill in Pittsburgh on his way to dinner. And no, he wasn’t chasing a wheel of cheese.
“I’m a little beat up,” Jay told Inside Edition—a clear understatement, considering he basically played human Plinko all the way down. “Fell 60 feet—boom, boom, boom, boom.” That’s four booms, so you know it was serious.
The aftermath? A broken wrist, a tragically sacrificed fingernail (RIP), and bruises that probably make him look like a Picasso painting. Oh, and let’s not forget the pièce de résistance: a rock smacked him right in the eye, leaving him rocking an eye patch like some kind of pirate comedian. If his next gig isn’t called Captain Jay and the Curse of the Clumsy Legs, we riot.
Here’s the kicker—Jay didn’t let a little thing like falling off a cliff stop him. Nope! After dusting himself off in the restaurant bathroom (because where else would you assess hill-inflicted damage?), he still made it to the stage. The man could fall off a skyscraper and still crack a joke on the way down.
Jay did say he’d swing by a doctor soon, which is reassuring since his recent health history reads like an action movie gone wrong. Back in 2022, he survived a fiery garage mishap that left him with serious burns and a starring role in My Neck, My Back, My Entire Garage Attack. Then, just a couple of months later, he took a motorcycle for a spin… and it spun him back, leaving him with multiple broken bones.
Someone get this man bubble wrap—or better yet, a protective suit made of car tires. Until then, Jay remains comedy’s most durable daredevil, proving once again that laughter is the best medicine—especially when you’re laughing at yourself.
