Leno is known for having a great collection of cars in his facility in Los Angeles, which he also uses for his show “Jay Leno’s Garage.” Here’s a clip of him recently driving around with President Joe Biden:
President Joe Biden goes for a ride with Jay in an electrified 1978 Ford F100 on an all-new episode of @LenosGarage on TONIGHT at 10pm ET on CNBC. pic.twitter.com/DtYaQLoW1C — CNBC (@CNBC) October 26, 2022 We’ve reached out to friends and colleagues with the show to see if there are any details beyond what TMZ reported, which makes it sound like a serious, though non-life threatening, burn. Update: “Variety” has a statement from Leno, who confirms that he was burned in a gas fire but is otherwise ok: Image: NBC/Leno’s Garage Maybe just speculating that he was careless isn’t great since that would make his injuries his own fault? The fact that he and his staff strive to keep the entire collection in a ready to drive state is true passion. Paul Allen didn’t plan for that and his Flying Heritage Museum and Living Computer Museum both had to close after he passed. Stratolaunch also ran into issues when he couldn’t bankroll it any more. Though I do hope they occasionally prank the local Autozone. “I’m not seeing this model in the computer. 1963 you say? Which engine? Wait, what?” “No, it doesnt have the automatic”. “Yes, it has the red seats”. “No, its not the EX model. That is the LX”. “Yes, its the 92”. “No, it didnt have the 6cyl”. He was staring right at my car.. and couldnt figure things out… I hope he heals up well and gets back to the garage with a smile. It might have been a Jay Leno’s Garage segment, but I seem to remember Dennis Gage being there, so it might have been for My Classic Car But, he’s saying gasoline fire – you can burn gasoline in steam cars, but he seems to run his primarily on kerosine, so who knows what vehicle was involved. Ok, bad taste, sorry. I hope he recovers quickly. –Prayers and Exhortations– -Comments based purely on supposition and bear no relation to facts imagined or true Every single car… he knows. Respect that dude Here’s a video of Jay with the same car, he almost burned his hand when there was a small fire, which he calmly blew out. It looks like he may have had that experience before. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Lf8miprLH60&ab_channel=JayLeno%27sGarage sorry, I had to! No really though, glad he’s recovering Get better soon, Jay.
