Jay Leno dismisses his numerous recent injuries: 'People get banged up in real jobs all the time'

Jay Leno is brushing off his many recent injuries — including his fall down a 60-foot hill and surviving a gas fire in his garage: 'People get banged up all the time,' says the comedian.

Last year, Leno was set to perform in Pennsylvania when he took a painful spill, tumbling 60 feet down a hill outside of his hotel, and hitting his head on a rock in the process. Last year, Leno's many injuries led some to speculate that the former late night show host had been beaten up by the mob after accruing a massive gambling debt. "I love the idea that the Mob would drive to Greensburg, Pennsylvania, wait outside the Hampton Inn on a kind of sleety, rainy day to throw me down a hill," Leno joked, shutting down the rumors during a visit to the Club Random podcast.
