People are seriously suspicious of Jay Leno’s injuries which include a broken wrist, a beaten up face and missing fingernail.
The former host was spotted with some pretty bad injuries. The 74-year-old claimed he hurt himself “falling down a 60-foot hill” near a Hampton Inn hotel thats “30 miles outside of Pittsburgh” on 16 November.
He said he was taking a shortcut down the steep hill when he fell and caused the injuries.

The internet is abuzz with the nature of the injuries and there’s a conspiracy theory that these specific injuries (i.e. losing a fingernail) could be as a result of a gangster who’s owed money.
O’Shea Jackson Jr. shared on X: “Them damn loan shark injuries lmaoo,” while another person tweeted “That brother is in deep gambling debt,”, which went viral with over 23 million likes.
Another viral tweet, with more that 10 million views, read: “Jay Leno, who is worth half a billion dollars, ‘stayed at a Hampton Inn’ and ‘fell down a hill.’ Something just ain’t adding up,”.
The host retired in 2014 with a reported net-worth of half a billion dollars – causing some online to wonder why he was staying in a motel.
