Jay Leno BURNED IN FIRE

Was he driving around in a MINI?

That's awful, poor Jay. I like the guy.

I guess he didn't die in a grease fire, but only got badly burned.

I'll have to wish a little harder next time.

He he.

Which one of you evil DL bitches cursed him and said you "hope [he] dies in a grease fire"?

Remember the asshole he was when the writers went on strike?

The DataLounge coven summoned the “Kill It With Fire” spell. I read that one of his hobby cars spontaneously combusted. I wonder if the cause of death could credibly be attributed to auto-erotic asphyxiation?

We didn't start the fire!

I'm sure that chin provided a lot of kindling.

Not a lot of info forthcoming, which means it's minor and just a bid for attention, or else so serious he will be a disfigured monster for life.

If it's bad enough maybe he can get a full face transplant. Because God knows he's needed one for decades.

All the articles are stating he was burned when a vehicle suddenly erupted in flames. What the fuck was he doing with the car?

I never cared for his humor at all ( cliched and boring) but I thought the way that Letterman raged and bitched about him for decades was tiresome. I never understood why Letterman couldn't just let go.

In other news, Comedy Central's upcoming "Roast of Jay Leno" has been cancelled.

But he's unable to travel!

Amateur !

is that all he's got ? wake me up when he sits in a burning car for an hour

I'm laughing in public r4. Take a bow ! LOLOLOL

R14 OMG you bitches are SAVAGE!!!

LOLOL

How terrible. Poor Jay Leno..

But his skin looks fantastic.

An example of people with lots of money being killed by it. (Or coming close in this case).

He should have known to be gentle with me, the creepy cunt.

"I never cared for his humor at all ( cliched and boring) but I thought the way that Letterman raged and bitched about him for decades was tiresome. I never understood why Letterman couldn't just let go."

I'd say the guy who broke into Warren Littlefield's office-- not once, but twice!-- and HID IN A CLOSET to eavesdrop on meetings regarding the appointment of the new host of the Tonight Show is the one who has trouble "letting things go".

[Quote]In other news, Comedy Central's upcoming "Roast of Jay Leno" has been cancelled

actually, it went on earlier than expected🔥🔥🔥

I stopped watching late night TV when Carson retired.

He’s still not funny. But I hope he’s ok.

He is a bad person. He schemed with Helen Kushnick to force Carson to retire. Then stole the Tonight Show from Letterman. THEN he stole the Tonight Show from Conan..VIDEO of Letterman jumping into the Leno/Conan fight over Tonight Show..

Another Letterman Clip mopping up thief Jay Leno over Jays SECOND theft of the Tonight Show.

Leno on fire!

Never thought of Leno as being hot until now

"Jay lit up a room as soon as he walked in!"

His car show Leno's Garage is actually a lot better than anything he did on the Tonight show. It's not comedy, which I thought he sucked at. But as a car show it's kind of interesting.

How does a car "suddenly burst into flames" ? What is the reason this could happen?

I think it's a lot worse than reported.

Yeah what kind of car was it?

Has anyone checked with LifeLock to make sure it was actually the real jailer that got burned and not somebody trying to impersonate him again?

[quote]If it's bad enough maybe he can get a full face transplant.

Unfortunately he'll still be stuck with that whiny little voice.

Can that be transplanted as well?

Maybe the smoke inhalation will deepen his voice R38

It's probably a cover story for a facelift.

[quote]How does a car "suddenly burst into flames" ? What is the reason this could happen?

In all fairness, the car heard Jay's lisping sibalent S's and thought, "I'm amongst family... gurl,watch this..."

POOF!

Jay Leno was universally hated by many in Hollywood. Leno stabbed Carson in the back. Leno stabbed Letterman in the back. Leno stabbed Helen Kushnick in the back (Leno publicly said he was unable to go to Helens funeral because of the hatred her family had for the way Jay treated her). He stabbed Conan in the back (ABC was interested in Conan for late night) but Leno lied to Conan about stepping aside from the Tonight Show. Leno feuded with Kimmel.

R13, agree. I never understood how Letterman couldn't see that he was completely wrong for The Tonight Show. That audience would have hated him and his brand of humor.

R42, but is Letterman that well loved? I think he is respected by comics but maybe not so much in the wider entertainment field. His staff seemed to actively dislike him.

R42, some of the stuff you say about Conan is actually the fault of Conan's reps. Surprise he didn't fire them. They messed up his contract and should have advised him better about his career. But maybe he didn't want to listen. I really like Conan but he is another one who wasn't right for The Tonight Show. They all wanted to replace Johnny but didn't do his kind of plain folk humor which is what that particular audience wanted.

R44....Agreed. Letterman had baggage. But you have to remember that Leno was "the nice one" in late night. He actually was the villain. He was always making homophobic remarks...THIS ONE...To Ryan Phillippe (who played a gay teenager on OLTL)..

R46, I seriously doubt Jay is homophobic. I think you can take clips from any late night host and make it seem like they are homophobic. That's because they do so many hours of TV over many years. There will always be something to find that seems controversial.

I remember Colbert getting criticized for using homophobic language as a way to criticize Trump.

R47 = LENOs Publicist

The thing about burns is you’re never out of the woods until you’re out of the woods. Infection looms…

I can’t believe how unfilled up this thread is and it’s really not grabbing top headlines either. Fuck, he must be even more hated than I thought because this is pretty major news.

Well hasn't he already been released from the hospital? It can't be that serious.

r51, he probably was released to spend his final moments with the ones he loved, his car collection.

Amateur

How else would he have been burned? By the sun? The stove?

The Daily Mail has pics of Mavis leaving the hospital and good Lord, she looks like a frau in Toledo. I don't "get" her, her husband, their relationship... I just never have and never will. Imagine being married to someone who is ALWAYS as "on" as Jay is.

R55 a lot of celebrities are always "on".

r53 tell me about it.

Every Actor is "ON". Especially the wanabes. That's the problem with dating actors, you never know if it's really them of some pay version roll of who they want you to think they are. You learn a lot living in Hollywood when you are NOT part of the industry or trying to become a star.

I hope his large penis is ok.

[quote]What the fuck was he doing with the car?

He's been developing and trying out steam engines for decades. Maybe the car had other ideas about that.

Notice Hollywood isn't exactly heartbroken or mourning? There is a reason for that.

Who was the host after Leno retired in 2009?

Jay Leno has had surgery to treat serious burns to his face and will have ANOTHER procedure later this week after his 1907 steam car erupted into flames

he has thousands of cars, does that mean he has to insure all of them? holy hell!

He can afford it, r64.

Jay Leno has no kids. Another strange thing about his marriage.

Apparently, he was working underneath the car when it ignited

Is Anne Hehe getting avenging a slight from beyond the grave?

R67 yeah I think it’s much bigger deal than reported. Too bad no one cares.

The Grease Fire finally found him and cornered him in his garage. I guess it lost its nerve and only maimed him.

Poor guy.

Whatever professional shortcomings he had...that's an awful thing to endure and he's surely in pain. I hope he heals up.

Jay and his wife have no children. Obviously it's a bearding situation. Jay is closeted.

Oh, dear R68. And you were almost there!

I always disliked Letterman and Conan. And I'm sure Letterman is ten times more nasty than Leno.

He’s into BDSM. Are we sure it was a car that burned him?

What, R75??

If true, please provide some details. I have never heard this rumor about Leno before...

R74 why Conan?

Condolences to all the Millionaires impacted by this Leno tragedy.

"WHY couldn't it have been Keanu?"------Matthew Perry

Letterman wasn't a nice guy either. Treated Craig Ferguson horribly. Craig Ferguson had Jay Leno on his very last show as his final fuck you to Letterman.

Leno, the unfunny one

R80 Yes. Letterman was so horrible to Craig Ferguson. Poor Craig had to live on a 13 Million Dollar a YEAR salary (which was paid by Lettermans production company). Craig was so sought after in Hollywood he barely worked again.

Craig wasn't given the budget for a live band and his show wasn't promoted. Unlike fat ass Corden.

Craig didn't need to work after his late show ended because his contract stipulated if he wasn't made successor to Letterman when Letterman retired he got a huge payout. He's living off his huge payout. Good for him.

R83 = Yes. Television Historians have always said if ONLY Craig had a band, his ratings could have soared. Corden is a hack too.

We will likely not see Jay Leno publicly again. He will be quite disfigured by this.

Well, she's 76 years old r55, most women that age look like frauen. She also apparently just threw on some clothes and headed out, which makes sense, considering the context.

r82/r84

Sounds like your issues with Craig Ferguson are older and deeper than any comment made here for you to be so fervent in your disdain.

[quote]We will likely not see Jay Leno publicly again. He will be quite disfigured by this.

What? No more "You Bet Your Life" reboot? That's the real tragedy.

Why isn't this getting more attention?

R89 = Leno is hated in Hollywood.

Will he die?

I dont hate Jay Leno, just never into his humor. Wish him well. There's a lot worse people in Hollywood to throw shade at if "you get what you deserve" is the theme here.

When my partner's elderly parents were visiting Los Angeles, he took them to see the Tonight Show and meet Jay Leno (my partner was in the biz). Leno couldn't have been nicer. He chatted with them about their visit and showed them around the set before the show. He was utterly charming and made two old people from flyover country very happy.

I've liked him ever since and he must be going through hell right now, the poor guy.

R94 = Did Leno ask your partner to show him his gayest face? Because Jay did that to Ryan Phillippe..And he didn't mean it in the "nicest" way either.

No, R94, my partner's parents weren't huge cunts the way Philippe is but thanks so much for asking.

[Quote}. THEN he stole the Tonight Show from Conan..VIDEO of Letterman jumping into the Leno/Conan fight over Tonight Show..

Leno's theft resulted in Conan getting $32.5 million from NBC. Not bad for 7 months' work

Poor Jay his gay face went from smelling cookies to falling in the oven.

That clip is so benign, it barley registers. You sound like quite a wallflower, if something that simple is your reason for wishing someone to die in a grease fire you have bigger issues then Leno.

R80 I'm not arguing that Letterman was a nice guy. I don't think he is. He's one of those tortured comedians who could never be happy.

However, I don't think Craig Ferguson had too much of a problem with him, judging from this 2019 clip. I think Letterman is harder on himself than anyone else.

[quote] He’s into BDSM. Are we sure it was a car that burned him?

I've actually heard this before. I've always thought him and Jerry Seinfeld were lovers - or at least bonded from their mutual experiences in the 80s as twink toyboys for the NBC brass.

The "solution" in 2004 to have Conan take over the Tonight Show in 5 years time was so idiotic. NBC was crazy for offering it, and Conan's reps were crazy for taking it.

Leno had been number 1 for years and years at that point. He was still number 1 in 2009. This created a awkward, shitty situation for all involved. NBC should've let Conan leave in 2004.

In retrospect, the best thing would've been for Conan to just stay at 12:30 and bleed NBC dry of money to keep him from leaving and going up against Leno. But, there was such luster attached to "Johnny Carson's Tonight Show" Conan just felt he had to have it.

Funny how much late night comedians have ceased to matter. Carson would get 15-20 million viewers on a good night. I doubt that Fallon gets much more than a million now.

Rumormill says CBS "discouraged" Corden from renewing his contract because his ratings are low and his paycheck (and ego) was too big...Also Chelsea Handler said this past week on Late Night she was interested in doing another nighttime talk show gig. Was that a dog whistle to CBS to call her for Cordens slot? I would watch her over Corden any day of the week.

Is he dead yet?

R100 is that a joke?

If it's not a joke, is there someone we can contact? A friend or family member who may have little time to visit with you?

My guess is that heat i's worse than they're saying. If he was trapped under a car and had burns to his face, that probably means he has damage to the lungs and trachea from inhaling superheated and toxic gasses. That can very deadly, but not necessarily immediately.

I told you the same thing about Anne Heche.

r104 Just stop it.

Die in a grease fire, R106, you pus oozing cunt.

R107 is projecting. Or Mavis.

Most comedians hate him because he's a backstabber, but he's known to be nice to the public.

He is fine and sends his love R103.

Jay Heho

Never got Conan's appeal. He wasn't funny and coasted on his anti establishment shtick for years. Pretentious hypocrite. I laughed when his bid for Leno's spot tanked spectacularly.

Will Letterman be visiting Jay soon? Or at least send flowers?

Tim Allen says he’s doing well.

The Daily Mail has close-ups of the burns, but I didn’t want to post that link and offend Muriel.

Jay walks out of the hospital. He was lucky it appears

That's Dylan Geick. Smdh, he'll do anything for a headline

His face is kind of messed up but it doesn't look too bad. He got off easy all things considered.

the reveal

The pose I saw makes me wonder if he has an ear left.

R119 he’s lucky and that’s still hard af to look at.

Jay was a cunt when he guest-starred on Good Times and Alice.

Looks like that chin took all the heat, but his face is fine.

It's a shock to see an older person hurt that badly. Could've been worse, but it's jarring.

He was discharged from the Bun Unit today. He was there for 10 days and has had 2 skin grafts so far. You can see the burns on his jawline, neck, chest and hands. He was lucky, this could have been so much worse.

yeah, his hands looks terrible. very painful and why even wear a fucking watch?

R112, you're a cunt and Conan's a comedic gem. Stick with Jeff Foxworthy.

Don't look at me!

He looks like he's pumped full of even more painkillers than usual.

Karma! 🖕
