I am OK. Just need a week or two to get back on my feet.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>In an interview published Sunday in <a href=\"https:\/\/www.wsj.com\/articles\/jay-leno-electric-cars-space-accident-11670600948\">The Wall Street Journal<\/a>, Leno offered typically self-effacing commentary on his refusal to languish in self-pity, declaring, \u201cYou have to joke about it. There\u2019s nothing worse than whiny celebrities. If you joke about it, people laugh along with you.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cEight days later, I had a brand new face,\u201d Leno said of the accident, quipping, \u201cAnd it\u2019s better than what was there before.\u201d<\/p>\n<p data-type=\"paragraph\">\u201cBut really, it was an accident, that\u2019s all,\u201d he continued. \u201cAnybody who works with their hands on a regular basis is going to have an accident at some point. If you play football, you get a concussion or a broken leg. Anything you do, there\u2019s a risk factor.\u201d<\/p>\n<p data-type=\"paragraph\">Soon after the accident, Leno\u2019s doctor, plastic surgeon Peter Grossman, acknowledged Leno suffered \u201csignificant burns to his face and hands\u201d and would need a \u201csurgical excision and grafting procedure,\u201d but added, \u00a0\u201cHe seems to be a gentleman who really doesn\u2019t want to make a big deal of this,\u201d <a href=\"https:\/\/www.foxnews.com\/entertainment\/jay-lenos-doctor-gives-update-after-suffered-serious-burns-gasoline-fire\">according<\/a>\u00a0to Fox News. \u201cHe wants to get back to work, that\u2019s what he does. I had to tell him that he needs to step back a bit and that these things take time.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Leno underwent grafting procedures on both his hands and face at the Grossman Burn Center in Los Angeles.\u00a0 Leno\u2019s accident occurred on November 13; after spending over a week in the hospital he performed November 27 at The Comedy &#038; Magic Club in Hermosa Beach, California.<\/p>\n<p>As he entered the club, Leno <a href=\"https:\/\/www.yahoo.com\/video\/jay-leno-returns-stand-stage-144733025.html\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">joked<\/a>, \u201cWe got two shows tonight: Regular and extra-crispy.\u201d<\/p>\n<p><strong>Related:<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><strong><a href=\"https:\/\/dailywire.com\/news\/jay-lenos-doctor-gives-update-after-comedian-suffers-significant-burns-in-car-fire\/\">Jay Leno\u2019s Doctor Gives Update After Comedian Suffers \u2018Significant Burns\u2019 In Car Fire\u00a0<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n<p><strong><a href=\"https:\/\/dailywire.com\/news\/jay-leno-gives-fans-an-incredible-update-after-suffering-serious-burns-in-car-fire\/\">Jay Leno Gives Fans An Incredible Update After Suffering Serious Burns In Car Fire<\/p>\n<p><\/strong><\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Former late-night host Jay Leno, who suffered third-degree burns on his face when he was working on his 1907 White Steam Car and an explosion occurred, gave a succinct explanation for why he has not complained about his recovery.
