“I talked to him. He’s fine,” Seinfeld said. “He’s gonna be okay.”

Asked about Leno’s recovery, the comedian said, “They gotta fix it up, but luckily he’s not far from Beverly Hills, and I imagine there are people there that can help him with whatever he needs.”

Seinfeld then joked, “And he wasn’t that much to look at before.”

After the accident last week, Leno was taken to the hospital and was forced to cancel scheduled appearances.

He spent 10 days in hospital, where he was treated for burns to his face, hands and chest.
