Jay Leno Suffers 60-Foot Fall, Adding to Series of Serious Accidents

The 74-year-old comedian continues to persevere after sustaining injuries in another major mishap, following previous motorcycle and fire-related incidents.

Comedian Jay Leno says his eye is swollen after he fell down a 60 foot hill. He was staying at a Pennsylvania Hampton Inn when he wanted to have dinner at a restaurant before his show. Instead of walking the mile and half down a road, he says he tried to take a short cut down the hill. Incredibly, Leno performed just three hours later. This is just the latest mishap to happen to Leno in recent years. Inside Edition's Jim Moret has more.
