Jay Leno hospitalized after suffering serious burns in garage accident
Jay told a reporter before his first engagement after the accident that he was going to do two shows, one regular and one extra crispy.

I have met him twice, once at a performance in Virginia and again at the Pebble Beach Concours. Very down to earth guy. No entourage.

Leno being interviewed last night night on Adam Corolla's show. Interesting interview, talks about the fire and his experience afterwards. He is one solid man. Starts at the 55:30 mark.

Good for you, Jay.

There’s nothing worse than whiny celebrities.

Can you imagine if someone like Alyssa Milano received such burns? She'd be milking this with self-pity Instagram posts and phony introspection, all done with the intent of gaining maximum attention and maximum sympathy.

I guess he is back on stage again performing. Good for him. He made a solid joke , that went something like , “Which Jay Leno did you guys show up to see? Original or extra crispy.”

We were talking about him at breakfast.
When you stop and think of all of the people in the entertainment industry

That are in front of the camera.
No one could name more than three people that they would invite over for supper.
And
He is one that made the cut.

And now to add insult to injury, CNBC has apparently cancelled his show:

...Leno was also in a motorcycle accident over a week ago, broke his collarbone, some ribs and injured his knee.

VINwiki did Leno's [partial, 15 cars IIRC] collection as part of their appraisal series

Honestly, compared to his YouTube videos, the Garage series felt forced and scripted. There was very little that was natural about it, which is a stark contrast to the YouTube content he produced prior to and alongside the television series.
