According to Jay’s publicist, Dick Guttman: Leno left his office at NBC’s studios about midday yesterday and checked himself into a hospital for observation.  He would not identify what ailed Leno but characterized it as “mild” and said Leno continued to work Thursday, making phone calls and writing jokes.

“Jay Leno is doing just fine,” read a statement from NBC spokeswoman Tracy St. Pierre. “He was kidding around with the hospital staff and running his monologue jokes by the doctors and the nurses. He’s expected back to work on Monday.”
