Jay Leno is setting the record straight about his recent string of injuries.
The former Tonight Show host, 74, appeared on the Dec. 22 episode of Bill Maher‘s Club Random podcast to discuss comedy, performing live and the early days of their careers as stand-up performers. During the conversation, Maher, 68, asked Leno about a recent rumor that his injuries were from getting beat up by the mob due to gambling debts.
“Well, I like the idea that they wouldn’t just take one of my cars for the gambling debt,” the New York-born comedian quickly quipped in reply. (Leno famously owns nearly 200 cars, many of them rare collectibles worth multiple millions of dollars.)
