Jay Leno Says He’s ‘Feeling Good’ After Breaking His Wrist and Bruising His Face During Recent Fall

Jay Leno is on the mend!

While hosting the inaugural amfAR Las Vegas benefit event on Friday, Nov. 22, the comedian, 74, said he’s doing well after recently falling down a hill in Pennsylvania and badly bruising his face and body and breaking his wrist.

“I’m feeling good,” Leno told red carpet reporters, adding, “I’ve got a broken wrist, but I’m all right.”

The former Tonight Show host appeared to cover his facial bruises with makeup at the Wynn Las Vegas event, which honored Sylvester Stallone and his wife, Jennifer Flavin Stallone. 

Leno spoke to TMZ earlier this week and revealed that he fell while trying to walk to a nearby restaurant at the bottom of his hotel, which Inside Edition reported was a Hampton Inn about 30 miles outside of Pittsburgh.

“To get to [the restaurant], I didn’t have a car, so you had to walk about a mile and a half around. I said, ‘Well, the hill doesn’t look that steep. It’s about 60-70 feet. Let me see if I can go down the hill,’ I fell down,” he told the outlet.

“Boom, boom, boom. I rolled down the hill, hit my head on a rock, knocked me in the eye,” Leno added of the incident.

The star had a show at the Palace Theatre in Greenhouse, Penn., on Friday, Nov. 15. He later performed at the Yaamava’ Theater in Highland, Calif., on Saturday, Nov. 16.

While hosting the event in Las Vegas, Leno made no mention of his appearance or the fall, instead sticking to the script and trying to raise money for AIDS research.

Mingling with the crowd — which consisted of high spenders and celebrities, including Michael Fassbender, Jodie Turner-Smith, Tommy Hilfiger and more — Leno helped to auction cars and even sold tours of his famous car garage for $75,000 to two different bidders. 

“I get to go there free,” he teased.

Elsewhere, the Stallones were honored with amfAR’s Award of Inspiration in “recognition of their generous support of amfAR’s lifesaving work, in addition to numerous other causes related to health, education, and women’s rights,” according to a press release.
