Making strides. Jay Leno is recovering in a hyperbaric chamber after suffering severe burns on his face and body during a gasoline fire at his Los Angeles garage.

Dr. Peter Grossman, the comedian’s doctor at the world-famous Grossman Burn Center Center, assured the 72-year-old’s condition is “good” and feels hopeful he will make a speedy recovery, including possibly returning to work one day.

“As I’m getting to learn about Jay, I don’t think it’s going to be months,” Dr. Grossman told Inside Edition on Wednesday, November 16, noting that Leno will undergo another surgery this week. “I think he’s the type of guy that’s going to move forward.”
