On November 12, he was working on his White steam vintage car in his Los Angeles garage when the 117-year-old car caught fire and burnt into flames.

“It was a 1907 White Steam Car. The fuel line was clogged, so I was underneath it.” Said the Tonight show host. “And suddenly, boom, I got a face full of gas. And then the pilot light jumped, and my face caught on fire. 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,” added Leno.
