Jay Leno

Talk about a work ethic!

Jay Leno was taken to the hospital for an undisclosed illness on Thursday, and he had to cancel his appearance on The Tonight Show. It’s the first time he’s missed a taping of the show due to illness since he took over in 1992. Craziness! Can you imagine never taking a sick day in 17 years?

The good news is that Jay is going to be just fine, according to NBC reps. “He was kidding around with the hospital staff and running his monologue jokes by the doctors and the nurses,” they said in a statement. “He’s expected back to work on Monday.”

Get well soon, Jay! And whatever super-virus has attacked you, keep it quarantined!

    Well yes, if I were getting his salary. I would want to go to work everyday. But still good for him, there are lots of celebs who are ungrateful and dont put in the effort like the two miserable twilight stars.

    Leno is so unfunny. Anyone who thinks otherwise must be employed as an accountant or legal aid.
