UPDATE: Leno will return to work on Monday.
Jay Leno is currently suffering from some big bad voodoo.
This evening’s taping of The Tonight Show has just been canceled due to an absent host. The 58-year-old comedian checked himself into the hospital earlier today after reportedly not feeling well.
According to show rep Tracy St. Pierre, Leno is currently in “good spirits” and working on material from his hospital bed. Although it’s been speculated that food poisoning is to blame, no other information has been released on Jay’s condition.
Ryan Reynolds, wildlife expert Jules Sylvester and musical guest Big Bad Voodoo Daddy had been scheduled to appear on tonight’s program. A repeat will now air in its place.
