' Others joked that Conan O’Brien finally got his revenge on Leno following their bitter and lengthy feud involving NBC's The Tonight Show. 'So Jay Leno got set on fire a few years ago, is staying at a Hampton Inn while being worth millions of dollars, with an eye patch, bruised up face, a broken wrist and a missing fingernail. And he wants us to believe he.
. . Fell down a hill???' one X user asked.

His gray hair was worn longer as his bands fell in his face A handful of X users also pointed out it was odd for him to be staying at a Hampton Inn, which is a more popular among budget-conscious travelers than A-list stars. Additionally, some conspiracy theorists pointed out that Leno has suffered from other bizarre and life-threatening injuries over the years. 'Looks like he took a punch to the skull with that shiner.
Shady [as f**k],' another claimed as others said they questioned why only the left side of his face was bruised.

Lost my nail on the finger, I'm all black and blue from 60 feet of hitting rocks,' he explained 'He's in gambling debt and the collector sent a message,' the conspiracy theorist claimed. Others pleaded with Leno to 'CUT THE S**T AND GO TO THE POLICE.' Still, one Leno fan called out the unfounded theories.
'All of you speculating that Jay Leno took a beating from mob connected entities have no idea how “this thing” works. They don’t give beatings to major celebrities over “gambling debts”, especially those with 1,000 priceless classic cars in storage. But keep having fun with the injuries of a 74 year old man,' the upset X user wrote.
There is no evidence to suggest Leno is in any debt or involved in anything 'strange and sinister' as suggested by some on X. Back in November 2022, Leno was hospitalized following the fiery explosion at his garage, where he keeps a number of vintage cars as part of a collection. George Swift, a mechanic in the comedian's personal garage, told ET that it was a steam car that sent Leno to the hospital.
It was also revealed on Friday that he enjoyed a hearty Italian dinner after his fall which some find odd. Jay reportedly ordered chicken parmesan topped with lots of mozzarella after his accident Bill Erhard, who manages The Boulevard in Greensburg, Pennsylvania, confirmed the star unexpectedly arrived to the restaurant, despite his painful injuries that would have sent most to seek immediate medical attention, 'without a reservation' When asked by Inside Edition if the restaurant had plans to rename Leno's order after him, Erhard joked that they 'might have to' While sitting in a cozy booth, the former The Tonight Show host, reportedly 'chowed down' on the dish and some garlic toast He ordered their famous chicken parmesan topped with lots of mozzarella 'It was a steam car. This steam was made by gas.
It got sprayed, as a gas,' Swift, a mechanic who works at the garage, said. 'He called me, and he told me there was a fire and the fire department is coming,' the employee continued. The Burbank Fire Department then confirmed they were dispatched to the late-night host's home at around 12.
30 p.m. that day, and when they arrived they assessed and treated 'one adult male.
' Leno was then transported to a local emergency room before being transferred to the Grossman Burn Center for further care. A spokesperson for the medical center told People at the time that Leno 'is in good humor and is touched by all the inquiries into his condition and well wishes. Leno pictured on September 30, 2024 'He wants to let everyone know he is doing well and is in "the best burn center in the United States.
"' Leno later issued a statement himself, saying he 'got some serious burns from a gasoline fire.' 'I am ok,' the former late-night host said. 'Just need a week or two to get back on my feet.
' He also told TMZ that it was his friend, Dave, who saved his life, by jumping on him and smothering the flames. The host said that he was repairing a clogged fuel line when he got sprayed on his hands and face with gasoline.
