TV host Jay Leno has recalled the time one of the vehicles in the garage that stores his vast car collection burst into flames.
In 2022, Mr Leno suffered from serious burn injuries following the car fire.
The comedian had to be treated for third-degree burns and had to get a “brand new ear”.
“I went to bed, and when I woke up, the pillow had melted into my face,” Mr Leno told Sky News Australia host Piers Morgan.
“So, I’m sitting there with scissors ... cutting the pillow.”

I miss Jay on the tonight show! Jay is the guy you could listen to and revere as a friend in everyday life without any pretense and have plenty of laughs in the process. I wish him and his wife continued happiness in trying times.❤

Funny, because a lot of us here think he's a giant douche bag. He is not funny and has never apologized to Monica Lewinsky afteer making a documented 400+ jokes about her. He kept that firestorm scandal with President Clinton going and totally shamed a 22 year old so far that it changed her life and how she lived it for quite some time after. But, he apologized to all Asians for the jokes he made about them once he received some retroactive pressure.

My Uncle is 80, he was 78 when he was working on the carburetor of a 1952 Jeep. He poured too much gas, it backfired and shot flames into his face, alot like Jay's injury. He had severe burns. Thank God he's fine now, and looks great, can't even tell anything happened. He also got thrown from a horse about 10 years ago after getting mad at the horse for not obeying him. Yeah, i know, temper temper. The horse threw him and he landed on the tracks of a trackhoe that was parked there. His back was screwed up before that, now old man noises come out of that old man every time he moves. Hes good though. 😊😊

Will Smith...if anyone rewatches the clips of that event...They will see that AT FIRST...Will was laughing at the joke. He was openly laughing along with everyone else. UNTIL--he looked over at his wife and saw the cold fury on her face--then he did a 180. He chose to publicly go ballistic--in a complete denial of his original response. I've always wondered about that. Hypocrisy? Or simply fear of her response if he didn't man up and defend her? If he was truly outraged---the camera would have never caught him throwing back his head with laughter, at the onset of the joke. That told me a lot about Will---AND their relationship.

What he does not say, is his wife has had dementia for several years and he knew if he just checked into the hospital she would not know what is going on or understand where he was. This man went to the hospital, they tried to admit him, but he home from the hospital to be able to setup care for her then went back the next morning. That is how the pillow stuck to his face while he was sleeping. That is love my friends. Never leave your wingman (wife) uncared for. Fantastic interview. Highly recommend listening to the whole thing. He recently file for conservatorship of her so he can plan how she will be taken care of if he dies before she does. Sweet sweet man.

Its a shame that Carson was so into himself that he never truly got to enjoy himself and really just disconnected himself from the public. I guess he was just too busy pretending to be a husband and father over and over and over. They say that Carson didn't care about money...really??? HE JUST HOARDED IT AND SPENT NEXT TO NOTHING AND DIED WORTH A HALF A BILLION!!! Carson was a really sick dude and couldn't compare to Leno as a person, its a shame that Carson never realized that nobody cared that he locked himself away from The World. He could've done so much more if he wasn't so damaged of a person😢
