Comedian Jay Leno has been released from a burn center in Los Angeles after sustaining injuries to his hands, face, and chest when a vintage car he was working on burst into flames earlier this month.

The 72-year-old former “The Tonight Show” host was discharged from the Grossman Burn Center on Nov. 21, doctors said in a press release, sharing a picture of Leno posing with some members of his care team.
