Jay Leno Says He Injured Face In Bad Fall, Wears Eye Patch

Jay LenoHe’s so bad that he did a comedy gig with an eye patch, a black eye, a bandaged wrist and a swollen face…after falling near his hotel.

We caught up with Jay arriving at the Comedy for Koby event in Beverly Hills on Monday night and our photographer asked him the obvious… what the hell happened to his face?!?

Jay told us that he was staying in a hotel on a hill and wanted a restaurant at the bottom of the cliff… and instead of taking a winding path down, he tried to take a shortcut… and it ended up with him tumbled down the hill.

As you can see, the left side of Jay’s face is super swollen and bruised … and he’s got an eye patch and a wrist bandage … but he says the incident didn’t stop him from performing this weekend at Yaamava’ Casino in the Southern California.
