Welcome to The List,
The Las Vegas Review-Journal reports Jay Leno fell off his motorcycle last week. He broke his collarbone and two ribs. He also has two cracked kneecaps. Jay was testing his vintage 1940 Indian motorcycle when he got clotheslined while driving down an alley. Jay hit a wire and fell off his bike. It kept going. His show “Jay Leno’s Garage” is at the end of it’s run as well, ending Jay’s 30-year run of having a show on an NBC/Universal channel. (Unless they give him yet ANOTHER show.)

Jimmy says, “Will any host or award presenter be slapped during the show? If you put $100 on yes, you win $1,200 — which, I have to say, seems like they’re encouraging someone with a gambling problem to slap me.” or just trying to get some interest back into their show.
