Jay Leno was fixing a clogged fuel line in a vintage 1907 steam engine car when a fire erupted, burning his face, the comic said on the 'Today' show.
For the “Today” interview, Leno brought with him a copy of the National Enquirer, which ran a cover story about the car fire. He held up the issue during the interview, poking fun at the headlines including one that called him “a human torch.”Jay Leno says he didn’t ‘sabotage’ 10 p.m. show to get ‘Tonight Show’ back from Conan
Comedy legend Jay Leno denied that he “deliberately sabotaged” “The Jay Leno Show” in 2009 to regain his gig as host of NBC’s “The Tonight Show.” Leno said he didn’t want to be a “whiny celebrity” with “all these cars, this beautiful house” complaining about what happened to him. He said people would just tell him, “Shut up!”
“In the real world, this happens to people every single day,” Leno said. “People who work with their hands get injured every single day.” When Kotb asked whether he’d be more skittish around cars, Leno said no and added, “Did I learn from this?” He puckered his lips and blew, as if spitting spitting water while laughing. “Of course not,” he said.
