You can’t keep Jay Leno down. After suffering a nasty fall that left him badly bruised, the former “Tonight Show” host, 74, was spotted grabbing lunch at one of Los Angeles’ favorite burger joints — In-N-Out. Though Leno’s injuries were still on display — the left side of his face badly bruised and his right wrist in a brace — he was without the patch over his left eye that he was seen wearing on Monday night outside of a comedy event in Beverly Hills.
The comedian appeared in good spirits — even waiting in line and smiling for the cameras after he enjoyed a burger and fries at In-N-Out in Burbank, Calif. Leno’s tumble happened last week before he was slated to perform a set at the Palace Theatre in Greensburg, P.A.
, just outside of Pittsburgh. Reportedly craving wings, he decided to get a bite at a sports lounge near the Hampton Inn where he was staying. Though only 200 yards from his hotel, the sports bar was a mile and a half away.
Without a car, Leno decided to take a shortcut — down a steep, grassy hill. While trying to traverse the slope’s terrain, he fell, only stopping when he reached the restaurant’s parking lot below. “To get to [the sports lounge], 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 60-70 feet. Let me see if I can go down the hill,’” he told TMZ on Monday night.
“I fell down. Boom, boom, boom. I rolled down the hill, hit my head.
