'I’ve got a broken collarbone. I’ve got two broken ribs. I’ve got two cracked kneecaps,' Leno said.
LAS VEGAS — If his run of tough luck continues, Jay Leno will be known as the comedy star who performs his own stunts.
That’s the incident we know about. But there’s another mishap, this month, which Leno disclosed in a phone chat Thursday.“It’s so funny you should say that,” said Leno, headlining for Encore Theater for the first time on March 31, his first Vegas show since the November incident. “That was the first accident. OK? Then just last week, I got knocked off my motorcycle. So I’ve got a broken collarbone. I’ve got two broken ribs. I’ve got two cracked kneecaps.”“But I’m OK!” Leno said.
“You know, after getting burned up, you get that one for free,” Leno said. “After that, you’re Harrison Ford, crashing airplanes. You just want to keep your head down .” “I saw that theater and said, ‘I’d love to play here,’ and just made the call,” Leno said. “It worked out well. The great thing about Vegas is the lights, the sound, it’s all a given. It’s done right. You play some gigs, like the Holiday Inn in Chicago, and it’s, ‘Hey, everybody WOOOOP! WOOOOP!’ In Vegas, you have a high level of professionalism from the crews, and everybody. It’s really cool.”
