Jay Leno is returning to the comedy stage Sunday night, two weeks after sustaining significant burn injuries in a gasoline fire.
The former "Tonight Show" host will perform in front of a sold-out crowd at the Comedy and Magic Club in Hermosa Beach, California, according to a spokesperson for the club.
Leno, an avid car collector, had been working underneath a vehicle on November 12, when he was burned. The 72-year-old underwent two surgical procedures to treat his injuries, his physician, Dr. Peter Grossman, said. Leno suffered burns to his face and hands. His doctor noted that Leno was walking around and cracking jokes during his stay at the Grossman Burn Center."Jay will receive follow-up care at the Grossman Outpatient Burn Clinic for burns to his face, chest and hands he received during a fire at his home garage," the statement said."Jay would like to let everyone know how thankful he is for the care he received, and is very appreciative of all of the well wishes," the hospital added.
