Jay Leno injured after fall down hillside in Westmoreland County

Celebrity talk show host Jay Leno reportedly fell while trying to walk to a Hempfield restaurant last week, badly bruising his face and eye. The former “Tonight Show” host told “Inside Edition” he was staying at a Hampton Inn about 30 miles outside of Pittsburgh and he fell while walking

Jey Leno is an American institution not only for his winning personality and car collection, but because he manages to keep his cool in the midst of a culture where every public person is expected to take a political position and to express hate for those who differ.

He prefers to perform his stand-up stuff in small towns around the country, where he is loved and admired on a more personal level.

He had a fall earlier today, sustaining injuries that would keep a professional athlete on the sidelines for months, if not an entire season, but he performed his 90 minute set, greet the people he had agreed to meet before and after, BEFORE getting treatment at the local hospital

I hate the promiscuous use of the term, "hero," but this comes close.

I can remember the days when I could do cartwheels across the yard.
But now I lose my balance trying to put on my pants. ...

I remember when hiking and camping along the Appalachian trail was fun and invigorating. Today it would be a torturous impossibility for me at 88 yrs old.

So you like Jay Leno. Fascinating stuff.

So you like Jay Leno. Fascinating stuff.

Why wouldn't you?

 

[Tumblin Tumbleweed]

Why wouldn't you?

I can take him or leave him. I like him because I am also a car guy. I like his videos with his incredible garage. I didn't care much for him as a Tonight Show host.

He's met with so many accidents you've got to wonder if Putin is out to get him.

Mid to late 70s???
I am 60, and there is no way I have the balance I did 30 years ago.
