Bill Maher calls out Jay Leno over gambling debt rumors after his black eye injury

Bill Maher has addressed the gambling debt theories surrounding Jay Leno by addressing the former late night host directly.

Maher, 68 – who recently unleashed a foul-mouthed tirade – criticized Leno, 74, over fans’ suspicions that his recent string of accidents are the result of a mafia-related gambling addiction.

Leno suffered a blow to the face in November, including a serious black eye, which he said he suffered after a steep fall in Pennsylvania.

Bill told Jay on his Club Random podcast, “[There’s] a conspiracy theory, since you’ve had three accidents, that you actually have gambling debts and are being beaten up by the mafia.’

In response, the Jay Leno’s Garage star laughed off the idea, joking, “I like the idea of ​​the crowd driving to Greensburg, Pennsylvania, [and] waiting outside the Hampton Inn on a wet, rainy day to throw me down a hill.”

The media personality then clarified, “They say ‘throwing you off the hill’ was your cover story, but they just beat you up like the mafia always does.”

Leno suffered a blow to the face in November, including a serious black eye, which he said he suffered after a steep fall in Pennsylvania.

Before the fall, Leno suffered multiple injuries when he accidentally set his face on fire while working on one of his cars.

In another accident, the Hollywood vet suffered several broken bones.

Jay’s net worth is believed to be well over $450 million, but that hasn’t stopped fans from putting forward the theory that he could be in debt to loan sharks.

“I like the idea that they wouldn’t just take the gambling debt off one of my cars,” he told Bill, denying the scandalous rumor.

Last month, speaking to Inside Edition after the incident, Leno revealed: ‘I broke my wrist and lost my nail on the finger. I’m all black and blue from colliding with rocks for 60 feet.”

Despite the serious fall, the seasoned professional put on a show just hours later.

It came two years after he was severely burned when a vintage 1907 motorcycle he was working on exploded in his face.

Leno was hospitalized at the time after the fiery explosion in his private garage, where he keeps his collection of vintage cars.

During the same episode where he confronted Jay, Bill criticized progressives for cutting off their conservative family members during the holidays.

During the same episode where he confronted Jay, Bill lambasted progressives who shut down their conservative family members during the holidays.

“F*** off, you f***s,” the comedian said candidly.

Maher and Leno discussed the political climate in the country, which appears to be reaching a boiling point at the end of this year.

The expletive-laced tirade came after Leno said he was seen as a “traitor” by Hollywood liberals for his public support of newly elected Republican President Donald Trump.

“It’s so funny that you say that because today we live in a time where you’re not allowed to have friends from the other side or cross lines politically,” Maher said.

”Ooh, the worst thing you could ever do: become friends with a Republican. Ah! Call 911! ” he scoffed.

“This is what I fucking hate about the left,” the left-leaning star pointed out.

“And they’re not going to get me on Trump’s side, which they sometimes think they’re going to do, but just the idea that, you know, ‘cutting your family off for Thanksgiving if they voted for the wrong guy.’ Fuck off, f***s.”
