Talk show host Jay Leno revealed his new face after suffering extensive burns from a gasoline fire.
On Wednesday, Leno appeared on “The Kelly Clarkson Show” to show off his “brand new face.”
He told Clarkson how the terrifying incident occurred.
“I was working on a car and I got a face full of gasoline and it caught fire,” he shared.
He proceeded to joke that he was eating “a Flamin’ Hot Dorito” at the time, which set fire to his face when he “bit into it.”
Leno said he suffered third-degree burns and it was “pretty bad.”
On Nov. 12, Leno was working on his cars when a spark ignited from the gas causing burns “all over his face and upper body,” according to People.
“It felt exactly like my face was on fire. Maybe like the most intense sunburn you’ve ever had, that’d be fair to say,” Leno recalled.
Leno’s longtime friend, Dave Killackey, saved his life by pulling him out of the blaze.
