Jay Leno Released from Hospital

Jay Leno has been released from hospital and is expected to be back at work on Monday.

Jay Leno was hospitalized at Providence St. Joseph Medical Center Thursday where he spent the night for “precautionary reasons” but was released early Friday. He checked himself into the hospital after going to work and complaining of not feeling well. Details of his illness have not been officially released, but sources close to 58 year old Leno say the “Tonight Show” host told friends he was probably suffering from food poisoning.

NBC, Jay Leno’s employer, released this statement earlier:

“We [are] happy to say that Jay Leno is feeling much better and has been released from the hospital. He’s anxious to return to work on Monday.”

With this Swine Flu outbreak in the U.S. right now, we’re glad Jay Leno is ok.
