Jay Leno maintains his sense of humor in his first <\/strong>interviews since the Nov. 12 car fire that left him with severe second-degree burns on his face, upper body, left arm and hands.<\/p>\n

The former Tonight Show<\/em> host, 72, sat down with Hoda Kotb, in his 140,000 square foot Burbank classic car garage, for an interview that aired on Wednesday’s today<\/em>. He also gave a print interview to people<\/em> magazine.<\/p>\n

“The fact that I have smooth skin, pouty lips and a tighter butt has nothing to do with the accident,” Leno quipped on today<\/em> in an interview that saw him telling joke after joke. “That was all secondary.”<\/p>\n

Leno was in his garage, with his long-time friend Dave Killackey, working on his 1907 White Steam car, which had a clogged fuel line. He was under the car. Air was blown through the clogged line, and Leno was hit with a face of gas. At that point, the pilot light jumped and “my face caught on fire.”<\/p>\n
