Jay Leno is Still Alive or Dead?
In recent years, Leno has spoken out about having high cholesterol. As a result of news of a “serious medical emergency,” many fans believed Leno had a cholesterol-related health issue. In a video posted in 2019, Leno encouraged his followers to check their cholesterol levels regularly.
People like that walk around like time bombs. There’s all this cholesterol in your body, but you don’t realize it until it hits you, right? That’s what Leno said at the time. “It’s like in a car, if even one piece of dirt gets in the eye of the needle of the jet, and boom and no more gas comes through. And that’s what happens with your heart.”
Since 1992, Leno has hosted NBC’s “The Tonight Show,” replacing Johnny Carson. Leno left the gig to start his own NBC primetime talk show, “The Jay Leno Show,” and Conan O’Brien took over “The Tonight Show.” Due to poor ratings for both shows, NBC reinstated Leno in March 2010 as host of “The Tonight Show.” After four years, Leno announced his retirement on Feb. 6, 2014. Jimmy Fallon replaced Jay Leno.
