The Last Man Standing star was in good spirits as he hosted the amfAR Las Vegas charity event on November 22. Ahead of the show, he spoke with red-carpet reporters and gave a positive update.
“I’m feeling good,” he said, per People. “I’ve got a broken wrist. But I’m all right.”
On November 19, Jay Leno told Inside Edition that he fell 60 feet down a hill while trying to walk to a restaurant from his hotel. The former Tonight Show host was staying in Pittsburg, PA, and he was hoping to grab a quick dinner before a comedy show.
Jay spoke to TMZ and admitted that he wanted to take a shortcut to the restaurant. So, instead of taking a walking path, he trekked a steep hill. Despite the accident, he performed at the Yaamava Casino in Southern California before visiting a hospital because thousands of people were expecting to see him.
“I hit a bunch of rocks,” he told Inside Edition. “It was 60 feet… I’m all black and blue from 60 feet of hitting rocks.”
At the time, he was wearing an eye patch and wrist wrap.
“A rock hit me in the eye, and then I was fine,” he joked. “What else are you supposed to do?”
For the recent charity event, Jay Leno was no longer wearing the eye patch, and while he appeared to be wearing make-up to cover his bruises, he was visibly on the mend.
