Leno Speaks Out

Talk show host Jay Leno is suffering from exhaustion, an ailment the hard working man is embarrassed to admit. According to people.com, the show host was hospitalized for two days and cancelled his shows, for the first time in 17 years.

"Exhaustion," he said in an interview. "That's like a rich person's condition. Poor people that work-they don't get exhausted. Only rich people get exhausted. It's an embarrassing thing."

Leno places the blame on his hard work-his talk show, his stand-up, and several of his writing jobs. "I think probably I just got worn out. I do three columns. I write for the London Times, I write for Popular Mechanics every month and I write for a British magazine called Octane. I do all automotive stuff. And then I'm on the road doing stand up comedy 160 days. I think it's one of those deals where you kinda just get worn out," he said.

The comedian plans to begin a new prime-time show in the fall.
