The comedian suffered burns to his hands, face and chest in a fire that erupted Monday while he worked on a car in his Burbank garage where he stores his vintage cars. Grossman said Leno was underneath a car when the fire began, and he suffered “pretty significant burns to his face and hands.”
“I do anticipate him making a full recovery,” said Grossman, adding that Leno suffered serious injuries, “but his condition is good.”
“He’s Jay Leno,” Grossman added. “He’s walking around and he’s cracking jokes.”
Grossman said the former Tonight Show host underwent a grafting surgery, and will undergo a second procedure later this week for what he described as “deep second-degree burns, and possibly some third-degree burns.” He has also been undergoing hyperbaric oxygen therapy to hasten the healing process.
