Jimmy Fallon Injures Hand - Cancels Tonight Show for Friday

Black Cat Back — Fri, 26 Jun 2015 18:01:22 GMT

The article didn't say how he hurt it or how badly, but he had to go to the hospital for surgery. It says he did it in his apt. He probably cut it or something like that.

Scary injury.

Hope he will be okay and have use of his hand.

I hope it's not to serious.

He's probably home by now. My guess is he had some stitches, they gave him some antibiotics, and some pain killers.

My guess is he probably cut himself in the kitchen.

He's off for the next two weeks anyway, so when he comes back, his hand will be well on its way to mending.

They just talked about this on tmz and they're wondering why nobody has said how he hurt his hand.

Thanks for posting this. I had heard something earlier but forgot to go look it up. Hope he's ok, I really like him.

If he hurt his hand so badly that he needed surgery, this was not a matter of getting stitches and being discharged from the ER. A hand orthopedist was probably called in and Fallon probably cut some part of his hand that needed surgical intervention to prevent nerve damage or tendon damage.

If he is taking two weeks off it sounds really bad.

I just read on TMZ that he was admitted to the hospital because he needed orthopedic surgery on his hand but is expected to recover.

I believe he was scheduled to be off these next two weeks but I am sorry this is going to mess up his vacation.

I really like Jimmy. It seems like even with all the success he has achieved he's still the same guy I first saw on SNL years ago.

To me this entire thing makes no sense. In past years, regardless of who the host has been, if they take a vacation, not feel well, etc. they do NOT cancel the show. You get subs and often it is as good if not better than the host. Times, they are a changing!

Freddie, times are a changin'. :-)

Right. They haven't used subs since the days of Carson, and even HE did re-runs.

I don't think these shows want guest hosts. I don't think the host wants anybody to have better ratings than them. remember way back when didn't Johnny Carson start taking fridays off. I'm glad he's ok. On second thought maybe they can call jay Leno back for 2 weeks.

Jimmy said on Twitter:

"Tripped and caught my fall (good thing)! Ring caught on side of table almost ripped my finger off (bad thing)." Followed by: "#drugged #blessed

So, while yes, he needed to have tendons and whatnot repaired, he's probably at home now resting (very) comfortably.

Two weeks for a hand injury? I hate to think what happened.

He's only taking one day off for his hand injury (today). He had already planned a two week vacation.

Whew. That's much better. Thanks for the info.

My first thought was he should get a guest host, but I see that is no longer common practice. I grew up watching Johnny Carson and he often had guest hosts.

From TMZ:

Jimmy Fallon and his single working hand are looking for a little sympathy -- he just gave us a first look at the injury, and an explanation for what happened early Friday morning.
Jimmy's left hand is heavily bandaged and elevated in the pic he posted from his hospital bed. He says his ring got caught on the edge of a table when he tripped and fell at home -- and he ****** near ripped a finger clean off his hand.

Ouch, nearly ripped his finger off his hand.
