Jimmy Fallon took to Twitter one-handed on Friday night to explain to fans how he ended up in the hospital needing emergency surgery. Fallon suffered a hand injury that was bad enough to get him hospitalized. And not only that, the host’s rep later confirmed he had to undergo a “minor” operation.
While the details of the injury weren’t initially revealed, Fallon used his one good hand to send some tweets about what happened. “Tripped and caught my fall (good thing)! Ring caught on side of table almost ripped my finger off (bad thing),” he wrote.
The severity of the situation forced the cancellation of Friday’s taping of “The Tonight Show.” Fortunately, Fallon and “The Tonight Show” were already set to begin a two-week hiatus on Monday, timed to the July 4th holiday. The break will allow the star plenty of time to recover enough before production starts back up.
