Jay Leno is banged up after falling down a 60-foot hill

Former Tonight Show host Jay Leno is black and blue after he fell down a 60-foot hill.

It happened Saturday night when he walked down a hill to a restaurant near his hotel.

In an interview with TMZ, he explained " to get to it, 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 or 70 feet. Let me see if I can go down the hill. I fell down. Boom, boom, boom. I rolled down the hill, hit my head on a rock, knocked me in the eye.”

Leno suffered several bruises including to his eye.

The 74-year-old comedian is now sporting an eye patch and wrist bandage.

Despite his injuries, he still made a scheduled show that evening.

This is just the latest in a series of injuries he's suffered.

In 2022, he suffered third-degree burns while working on one of his many vehicles.

Several months later he was in a motorcycle accident where he broke his collarbone, two ribs, and cracked his kneecaps.

In his recent interview, he brushed off the seriousness of his most recent injuries saying "It’s alright, it’s alright. The great thing about this age is you don’t learn by your mistakes, you just keep doing the same stupid thing.”
