Jay Leno Injured In Motorcycle Accident, CNBC Cancels Leno's Garage

Just months after his fiery accident that left him with severe burns all over his face, Jay Leno is now seemingly out of work, with CNBC reportedly canceling his series Jay Leno's Garage.

Leno, 72, had hosted Jay Leno's Garage since 2014, just months after his final episode of NBC's The Tonight Show aired in February 2014.

The cancellation (via The Hollywood Reporter) would bring an end to a 30-year streak of Leno programs airing on NBCUniversal's networks, since Leno started hosting The Tonight Show in 1992.

The Daily Mail reports Jay Leno's Garage first started as a web series for NBC.com in 2014, before a special aired on CNBC in August 2014 that prompted an upgrade to full-time series.

Many episodes featured celebrity car fanatics like Leno, with the seventh and final season featuring Brie Larson, Post Malone, Gaten Matarazzo, Kelly Clarkson, Tim Allen, Jamie Lee Curtis, Pitbull, James Marsden, Danica Patrick, Alfonso Ribeiro, Gabriel "Fluffy" Iglesias, Tig Notaro, Reggie Watts, Tony Hawk, Mike Rowe, Jim Jefferies, Jeff Dunham and Diego Boneta.
