Jay Leno’s amazing sense of humor is not only a source of joy to his huge fans but also to him when he is going through tough times.
The famous comedian suffered bad luck in November after he was involved in a car fire that left him with severe second and third degree burns to his face. Although Leno is out of the woods and much better, the television host opened up about how he weathered the trying times in good spirits.
Jay Leno Doesn’t Want To Be A Whining Celebrity
Almost a month after the accident that made headlines, Leno opened up about his brilliant recovery in a touching essay. The former host of “The Tonight Show” revealed that the incident was not as big a deal as the media made it out to be. “But really, it was an accident, that’s all,” he said.

Downplaying the impact of the fire incident, Leno wrote, “Anyone who works with their hands on a regular basis is going to have an accident at some point. If you play football, you’re going to have a concussion or a broken leg. Whatever you do, there’s a risk factor.”
It’s no news that the stand-up comedian is passionate about cars, as evidenced by his massive car collection — consisting of 181 cars and 160 motorcycles — and his award-winning show, “Jay Leno’s Garage.” In fact, the accident happened while he was working on the 1907 White Steam Car, and a fire broke out after he was sprayed with gas by a fuel leak.
As we reported, the comedian was rushed to the hospital following the incident and suffered severe burns on the left side of his face that required facial graft surgery. Fortunately, the surgery was successful, and Leno was treated for third-degree burns at the Grossman Burn Center.
Speaking about his speedy recovery, the 72-year-old revealed that poking fun at himself helped him cope with the accident. In his words, “You have to joke about it. There’s nothing worse than a whiny celebrity. If you joke about it, other people laugh with you.”
Leno was quite intent on making people laugh about his burned face, as he mentioned that the accident was already material for his next collection of jokes. The Hollywood Walk of Fame inductee teased fans in an exclusive column for the Wall Street Journal, writing, “‘Eight days later, I have a new look,” before adding that her new look is “better than the one before. .”

As previously reported, Leno’s good friend Tim Allen confirmed that “The Jay Leno Show” host is keeping his mind occupied with jokes while in the hospital awaiting a full recovery. The Blast shared that Allen, during his visit to Leno in the hospital, revealed that they had a good time cracking jokes.
“We do some jokes, that’s what we do. We also sympathize,” admitted the actor. He also poked fun at his friend, stating that face transplant surgery would change the structure of Leno’s face to look like George Clooney.
Tonight’s Show Crashes After Fire Incident
Leno’s column for the WSJ came weeks after he went into a minor fender bender while riding in the car for the first time after the fire. According to The Blast, Leno and his wife, Mavis, hit a police car when they arrived at the Comedy & Magic Club in Hermosa Beach, CA.
The comedian was driving his Tesla when the minor accident occurred, but it was quickly resolved as the police officers and Leno were able to quickly laugh it off. Other than that, there was no significant damage to either vehicle.
While at the club, Leno did what he did best — poking fun at himself — by dropping a funny line about the accident to the crowd’s laughter.
The former host of the show underwent a rigorous rehabilitation that involved spending time in a hyperbaric chamber.

According to the report, hyperbaric oxygen therapy “involves breathing 100% (pure) oxygen while in a special chamber called a hyperbaric chamber. The air pressure inside is raised to a higher level than normal air pressure. The increased air pressure inside the chamber helps the lungs- the lungs collect more oxygen. Getting more oxygen to the tissues that need it can help the body heal and fight certain infections.”
Luckily, all that is in the past now and Leno is back like he never left!
