Jay Leno has suffered “serious burns” but is in stable condition following a gasoline fire, the former “The Tonight Show” host confirmed to Variety. Leno said in a statement: “I got some serious burns from a gasoline fire. I am ok. Just need a week or two to get back on my feet.”

TMZ reported that Leno was hospitalized on Sunday after a fire erupted in his Los Angeles car garage. One of the cars reportedly burst into flames and left Leno with burns on his face. Leno was taken to the Grossman Burn Center for his injuries.

News of Leno’s health was first reported by People magazine. The comedian was scheduled to take part in a Las Vegas financial conference on Sunday but had to cancel his appearance due to a “serious medical emergency.” Leno’s facial burns were not disclosed at the time.

5. Yikes.

Other members of my family and I have had multiple encounters with Jay Leno over the years.

He's always been very warm to everyone.

I hope he recovers fully and quickly.

6. He's the one celebrity I see the most of here in Los Angeles.

He and his wife like the same little Italian bistro in North Hollywood that my husband and I go to often. We've seen them there quite often and he is always very gracious to the occassional request from a fan (probably from out of town) for a selfie. The restaurant is very close to Universal Studios so does tend to attract some out of town families who are looking for a great pizza pie after a day at the park.

And almost every day I go into the office I will pass him on Coldwater Canyon. He has a reverse commute to me. Whenever I see a cool car coming the other way, it is almost always Jay Leno behind the wheel!

I would like to know what car he was working on, and what happened that sprayed gasoline.
