Jay Leno Bruised and Battered in 60-Foot Fall That Broke His Wrist: ‘I Was Tumbling Down a Hill’

The former “Tonight Show” host says he fell while taking a steep shortcut to a restaurant before a show in Pennsylvania

The evidently indestructible Jay Leno is alive and kicking and still telling jokes after he fell an estimated 60 feet near his hotel in Pennsylvania – a spill that led to a broken wrist, black-and-blue bruising on his face, and an eyepatch.

Leno stopped by Tim Conway Jr.’s show on KFI 640 in Los Angeles on Tuesday night and talked about the accident.

“What happened to you?” Conway Jr. asked, pointing out Leno had an injured right wrist and marks all over the left side of his head.

“I was tumbling down a hill,” Leno told him.

The former “Tonight Show” host then explained what happened: Leno was at a Hampton Inn hotel in Greensburg, Pennsylvania, last week for a show he had on Friday night in the Pittsburgh suburb.
