He suffered “serious” third-degree burns to his face and hands, and was so bad he needed a skin graft.
A skin graft is a patch of skin that is surgically removed from one part of the body and transplanted, or attached, to another area, according to Mount Sinai.

This surgery is usually done while you are under general anesthesia, which means the patient will be asleep and not in pain.
Healthy skin is taken from a place on your body called a donor site. Most people who undergo skin grafts have split-thickness skin grafts. This takes the top two layers of skin from the donor site (epidermis) and the layer below the epidermis (dermis).
follow TMZLeno’s life was saved by his friend Dave who immediately jumped on the comedian and put out the fire.
The burns didn’t affect his eyes or ears, thankfully.
He was rushed to a nearby burn center by ambulance. Speaking to the outlet, Leno said he expected to be hospitalized for five to ten days.
