Jay Leno á sjúkrahús

 

“The Tonight Show” host Jay Leno has been hospitalized.

According to reports, Leno checked himself into a hospital Thursday for an undisclosed illness.

The Thursday and Friday tapings of “The Tonight Show” have been canceled.

Ryan Reynolds, Jules Sylvester and swing band Big Bad Voodoo Daddy were scheduled to appear on the Thursday show, which was replaced with a repeat of the episode featuring Paul Giamatti, Emma Roberts and Prince.

CNN anchor Anderson Cooper was slated to appear Friday.

This is a rare cancellation for Leno, who will bow out as the host of “Tonight” on May 29.

I don’t have much more information regarding this than The Hollywood Reporter does, but I have been hearing reports that Leno was joking with doctors and nurses, even trying out monologue jokes on them, and that he’s expected to return to work on Monday.

That doesn’t make it sound too serious, but this is the first Tonight Show Jay has missed in 17 years.
