From delivering belly laughs on stage to hosting a talk show, Jay Leno has always had tough skin as a comedian. He's also quite resilient in his personal life. Over the years, Leno has faced a few health challenges ranging from broken bones and severe burns to dyslexia and high cholesterol. Through it all, the 74-year-old has exhibited his signature sense of humor and refused to let any setbacks deter him. Below, discover everything Leno has shared about his health over the years.
Leno soon went to the Grossman Burn Center in West Hills Hospital in Los Angeles and was treated for third-degree burns. During a nine-day stay, he spent eight hours a day in a hyperbaric chamber so oxygen could help speed up the recovery process. Leno’s doctor told NBC News the comedian had burns on “approximately 7% of his body.” While talking with Hoda, Leno showed off his signature humor and said he wasn't too concerned about the burns affecting his appearance.
