Jay Leno checks into hospital, is 'doing just fine'

Tagged:

Tonight Show host Jay Leno checked into a Burbank hospital today for treatment of a minor illness, according to NBC.  No details about his ailment were given, but it is believed to be a case of food poisoning.

"Jay Leno is doing just fine," said the network in a statement. "He was kidding around with the hospital staff and running his monologue jokes by the doctors and the nurses. He’s expected back to work on Monday." Repeats of The Tonight Show will air on Thursday and Friday.

    Hi JAY, You”ll be miss tonight and tomorrow with your funny monoloqe jokes. Hey I like you, buddy take care of yourself. Take it from a retired person taking care of yourself is of the essence. You must stay fit for the ladies, especially the young blonds there in Hollywood. Stay cool and may God bless you. Have a speedy recovery.

    Get well Jay. I sure hope its food poisoning.Thats what John Ritter thought too. Docs made him wait 4hrs,all the while treating him fo an illness he did not have. Be strong Jay, RIP John. To you idiots joking around here about Jay being in the hospital, STOP! A man is sick, in the hospital! Its not funny at all! The food poisoning has not been confirmed, its still just a rumor. STUPID!
