“We’ve got two shows tonight — regular and extra-crispy"

Jay Leno has returned to stand-up comedy two weeks after suffering third-degree burns when a fire broke out in his Burbank garage.

The former Tonight Show host performed for one hour at the Comedy and Magic Club in Hermosa Beach, California, a venue he has appeared at almost weekly on Sunday nights since 1978. On Monday, NBC’s Today program featured clips of Leno walking into the club for his comedy set on Sunday night.

“We’ve got two shows tonight — regular and extra-crispy,” Leno told reporters, making light of his recent injuries before adding: “I never thought of myself as a roast comic.”
