Jay Leno, 74, treats himself to In-N-Out burger as he shows off huge bruise after dramatic 60ft fall

Jay Leno was seen heading out alone for a fast-food lunch on Thursday after a nasty fall last week.

The former late-night talk show host was showing off the mᴀssive bruise on his face and a blue brace on his wrist while waiting in line at In-N-Out Burger in Burbank, California.

The 74-year-old stand-up comedian ordered a burger and French fries with a drink.

The New York native ate the meal alone inside the restaurant while sipping a soda. At one point, a man who wore a yellow vest that was stamped Public Works approached Leno for a quick chat.

Leno had a bad accident on Saturday in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania that has worried his fans.

Not only did he suffer a face bruise when he fell down a 60ft hill, but he also broke his wrist.

Jay was dressed casually for his midday outing. He wore a dark gray denim motorcycle jacket that zipped up and had front pockets.

Underneath was a gray shirt with a military Jeep and writing in Italian. He added blue denim jeans and a black belt with prescription glᴀsses. He finished off his look with sensible lace-up black shoes.

His gray hair was worn longer as his bands fell in his face. 

On Saturday, Leno opened up about the incident to Inside Edition as he explained he hit a ‘bunch of rocks’ during his horrific fall in Pennsylvania where he was doing a comedy show.

‘I broke my wrist. Lost my nail on the finger, I’m all black and blue from 60 feet of hitting rocks,’ he explained. Three hours after the fall he performed his show. He did not see a doctor until he returned to Los Angeles.

It was also revealed on Friday that he enjoyed a hearty Italian dinner after his fall which some find odd.

Jay reportedly ordered chicken parmesan topped with lots of mozzarella after his accident.

Bill Erhard, who manages The Boulevard in Greensburg, Pennsylvania, confirmed the star unexpectedly arrived to the restaurant, despite his painful injuries that would have sent most to seek immediate medical attention, ‘without a reservation.’  

When asked by Inside Edition if the restaurant had plans to rename Leno’s order after him, Erhard joked that they ‘might have to.’

While sitting in a cozy booth, the former The Tonight Show host, reportedly ‘chowed down’ on the dish and some garlic toast. 

After dinner, Leno picked up an eye patch at a nearby CVS Pharmacy, before going on to perform one of his comedy shows just hours later.

The accident inadvertently sparked a number of wild conspiracy theories among social media users who were convinced he might be lying about how he got hurt.

Some conspiracy theorists on X (previously known as Twitter) shared a number of unsubstantiated theories that Leno, whose net worth is estimated to be around $450 million, was the victim of loan sharks, the mafia or someone he has ‘dirt on.’

Others joked that Conan O’Brien finally got his revenge on Leno following their bitter and lengthy feud involving NBC’s The Tonight Show.

‘So Jay Leno got set on fire a few years ago, is staying at a Hampton Inn while being worth millions of dollars, with an eye patch, bruised up face, a broken wrist and a missing fingernail. And he wants us to believe he. . . Fell down a hill???’ one X user asked.

Another tweeted: ‘I have never believed a conspiracy more than Jay Leno owing mᴀssive gambling debt.’

A handful of X users also pointed out it was odd for him to be staying at a Hampton Inn, which is a more popular among budget-conscious travelers than A-list stars.

Additionally, some conspiracy theorists pointed out that Leno has suffered from other bizarre and life-threatening injuries over the years.

‘Looks like he took a punch to the skull with that shiner. Shady [as f**k],’ another claimed as others said they questioned why only the left side of his face was bruised.

One conspiracy theorist argued that there were ‘holes in this story’ and insisted that Leno would have ‘abrasions’ if he slid down a hill.

‘He’s in gambling debt and the collector sent a message,’ the conspiracy theorist claimed.

Others pleaded with Leno to ‘CUT THE S**T AND GO TO THE POLICE.’

Still, one Leno fan called out the unfounded theories.

‘All of you speculating that Jay Leno took a beating from mob connected enтιтies have no idea how “this thing” works. They don’t give beatings to major celebrities over “gambling debts”, especially those with 1,000 priceless classic cars in storage. But keep having fun with the injuries of a 74 year old man,’ the upset X user wrote.

There is no evidence to suggest Leno is in any debt or involved in anything ‘strange and sinister’ as suggested by some on X.

Back in November 2022, Leno was hospitalized following the fiery explosion at his garage, where he keeps a number of vintage cars as part of a collection.

George Swift, a mechanic in the comedian’s personal garage, told ET that it was a steam car that sent Leno to the hospital.

‘It was a steam car. This steam was made by gas. It got sprayed, as a gas,’ Swift, a mechanic who works at the garage, said.

‘He called me, and he told me there was a fire and the fire department is coming,’ the employee continued.

The Burbank Fire Department then confirmed they were dispatched to the late-night host’s home at around 12.30 p.m. that day, and when they arrived they ᴀssessed and treated ‘one adult male.’

Leno was then transported to a local emergency room before being transferred to the Grossman Burn Center for further care.

A spokesperson for the medical center told People at the time that Leno ‘is in good humor and is touched by all the inquiries into his condition and well wishes.

‘He wants to let everyone know he is doing well and is in “the best burn center in the United States.”‘

Leno later issued a statement himself, saying he ‘got some serious burns from a gasoline fire.’

‘I am ok,’ the former late-night host said. ‘Just need a week or two to get back on my feet.’

He also told TMZ that it was his friend, Dave, who saved his life, by jumping on him and smothering the flames.

The host said that he was repairing a clogged fuel line when he got sprayed on his hands and face with gasoline.
