Jay Leno recounted the moments after he was burned in a gasoline fire, including driving himself home before going to the hospital.
"I drove home right after that," Leno revealed to Hoda Kotb on "Today." Caroline Thayer is an entertainment writer for Fox News Digital. Follow Caroline Thayer on Twitter at @carolinejthayer.
Much to Kotb's shock, Leno confirmed he was behind the wheel and decided to spend the night at home after the accident, rather than a hospital bed. "My wife doesn't drive anymore," he explained. "I didn't want her struck and not knowing what was going on. It just seemed like the right thing to do, and I think it was."
