Even after two dangerous accidents in the last five months, Jay Leno can still laugh at himself.
In November, the 72-year-old got into an alarming car accident that left him with severe second- and third-degree burns all over his body. Two months later, he survived a serious motorcycle crash.
During an episode of Dana Carvey and David Spade’s podcast “Fly on the Wall,” Leno looked back on the injuries he sustained in the accident.
“This [is] an all-new face,” he told Carvey, 67, and Spade, 58. “I did it in eight days. I missed two shows.”
In the first incident on Nov. 12, Leno’s face caught on fire. More recently, in January, Leno got knocked off his motorcycle that resulted in “a broken collarbone, two busted ribs and two cracked kneecaps.”
