"The Tonight Show" host Jimmy Fallon severely injured his finger recently causing the cancellation of his talk show's taping. Multiple sources confirmed that the funnyman underwent surgery on Friday morning.
Following his successful operation, Fallon posted a photo of his bandaged hand via his official Twitter account. The television personality explained what happened to him through the post's caption.
According to Fallon, he tripped but he was able to stop himself from falling. However, his finger caught the side of the table and was almost ripped off.
Meanwhile, Fallon's spokesperson released an official statement via the New York Daily News to update the host's fans about his condition. The spokesperson revealed that the accident took place at his client's apartment in Manhattan.
Fallon later on tweeted that he is doing well and thanked his followers on Twitter for all of their prayers and well wishes.
Due to his accident, the taping for "The Tonight Show" has been cancelled. Luckily, the airing of the late night talk show is currently on a two-week hiatus so Fallon will have enough time to heal.
In other news, TMZ first reported about Fallon's accident. However, the publication claimed that he suffered a major injury and was brought to the intensive care unit of a nearby hospital after a night out.
The publication even posted two photos of Fallon with women seemingly enjoying his time and partying at a bar in the Big Apple. However, it was later on confirmed that the accident did not have anything to do with his partying
