Comedian Jay Leno revealed his new face after recovering from a car fire in November that left him with second and third-degree burns.
Leno reflected on his accident and recovery while appearing on the Kelly Clarkson Show, where he showed his “brand new face.” He explained that he was working on a car “with a face full of gasoline,” which eventually resulted in a fire and severe burns.
After joking that the accident occurred because he had “been eating a flaming hot Dorito” which set his face on fire, he called the accident “interesting” and said his third-degree burns were “pretty bad.”

Kelly Clarkson said she could not “tell at all” and was amazed by his new face and recovery process, to which Leno jokingly responded, “yea, you’d think there’d be a zipper here or something.”

Jay Leno is on the mend after multiple surgeries following a horrible accident in his garage less than four months ago. As expected, Leno has taken the approach of discussing both the accident and the procedures through a humorous manner.
In an interview with The Kelly Clarkson Show, Jay Leno showed off his “new face”, which came about due to two skin grafting surgeries over the course of just over one week. “Only for the second time in my career am I the new face of comedy. I got it once in the ’80s and now I get it again. That’s a brand new ear!” He added, “You think there’d be a zipper here or something, but no this is like a brand new face.”
Jay Leno continued, joking about his accident in a good-natured way. “This is a brand new face…It’s unbelievable. I was working...

So, what do the 4th Primetime Emmy Awards, which took place Feb. 18, 1952, have in common with the 2022 edition?
Lucille Ball and Desi Arnaz.
The stars of the No. 1 TV series, CBS’ “I Love Lucy,” were the hosts of the Emmy ceremony, which was telecast in Los Angeles on Kcea, now known as Kabc. And it was the first time that the Emmys embraced national television networks. Previously, nominations and awards were bestowed on projects that were produced or aired in Los Angeles.
This year, Amy Poehler’s valentine of a film, “Lucy and Desi,” not only received strong reviews but six Emmy nominations including Best Documentary or Nonfiction Special and directing for Poehler. The Amazon Prime doc won two: writer Mark Monroe and composer David Schwartz.
Traveling back to the 1952, the ceremony took places at venerable nightclub, the Cocoanut Grove. It must have been a short show because only seven awards were handed out.

When the petition to get James Hong a star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame began, the response was immediate and overwhelming. Recognizing the groundbreaking body of work from the 93-year-old actor, who has more than 650 credits to his name, actor-producer Daniel Dae Kim started a crowdfunding campaign in 2020 to raise the 55,000 necessary for the star. The goal was met within four days.
The only person who didn’t respond right away was Hong himself. “In actuality, I didn’t hear a thing,” Hong says with a laugh. “Somehow the internet wasn’t quite working or I didn’t get the email. The next thing I hear, they had the money already.”
Hong, who will receive his star in a ceremony on May 10, is still somewhat overwhelmed by the honor. “I want to thank all the fans and friends who donated their money. It boggles my mind to think that...

Deep into production on Clint Bentley’s feature directorial debut “Jockey,” star Clifton Collins Jr. reached an impasse: His agent kept calling him up with what the actor referred to as “money scripts,” and the long-time actor just didn’t have the time or the headspace to worry about other projects. Hell, he didn’t have time to worry about anything else but the tiny indie about a jockey nearing the end of his run in the lauded drama. The film premiered at Sundance 2020 after being picked up by Sony Pictures Classics, and has earned Collins the best reviews of his career, plus a recent Indie Spirit nomination for his performance.
“I’m like, ‘If I spend two hours reading another script, that’s two hours you’ve stolen from our budget. Because time is the only currency that cannot be replaced. And I’ll be damned if you take another dollar from this budget,...

Directors often mine their past for their films. Clint Bentley returned to the world in which he grew up to make his lauded new film “Jockey.” During a recent Zoom conversation with Film Independent, Bentley noted that his father was a jockey and his film “started from that place of having a specific feeling I wanted to share through a movie. That was just the feeling of what it feels like to be on the backside of the racetrack. I felt there had been a lot of movies about racing, but none had really gotten that lifestyle across and then also showing the life of jockey, which I didn’t feel had been explored.”
“Jockey,” which premiered to strong reviews at Sundance, stars veteran character actor Clifton Collins Jr. (“Capote”) as Jackson, an aging jockey who bares the scars of his job. He’s broken his back several times and...

Fox Corp.’s distribution unit Fox First Run has renewed four original syndicated shows, including the Jay Leno-hosted reboot of You Bet Your Life.
The first-year show will continue on Fox-owned stations through the 2022-23 season. Other series extended for another year include 25 Words or Less, a game show hosted by Meredith Vieira, as well as Dish Nation and Divorce Court.
Especially since it became a smaller, TV-focused company in 2019 after selling most of predecessor company 21st Century Fox to Disney, Fox Corp. has relied on its station group. With 29 stations and a presence in nine of the top 10 U.S. markets, the portfolio is a reliable revenue generator.
“Fox First Run’s main priority is to focus always on our audience first, by allowing them to appear, contribute, play and win,” said Stephen Brown, EVP of Programming for Fox Television Stations. “All of our programming, both present and in development,...

Jeopardy! perked up in its return to originals during syndication’s premiere week with a 5.1 household rating. The week of Sept. 13 included the five episodes with Mike Richards as a permanent Jeopardy! host that were taped during his first and only day of filming before he stepped down amid multiple controversies.
The 5.1 rating was up by a fraction from the 2020 Premiere Week average of 5.0 for Jeopardy! with its iconic host, Alex Trebek. In both cases, Jeopardy! finished second for the opening week of the syndication season behind another game show, the Steve Harvey-hosted Family Feud, which was even with its 2020 debut at 5.3 Hh rating.
In Premiere Week this year, Jeoaprdy! was boosted by the winning streak of Matt Amodio who has became only the third contestant to cross the $1 million mark in winnings so far. Following Richards’ exit, Mayim Bialik stepped in as a Jeopardy! host starting with the week of Sept.
