Jimmy Fallon Told the Story About How He Almost Lost His Finger on THE TONIGHT SHOW

The Tonight Show returned from its two-week hiatus on Monday, and it was the first time Jimmy Fallon was on the air since he almost ripped off his finger on June 26. During Monday's show, Fallon told the story about how he tripped in his kitchen, caught his ring finger on a glass table ... and almost lost his ring finger.

After falling, Fallon thought he had just broken his finger, but upon getting to the emergency room he learned that he had actually suffered from ring avulsion — that's when your ring pretty much tears your finger off. Fallon wound up spending ten days in the ICU.



Fallon is still wearing a cast/brace on his hand, and his doctor told him it will be eight weeks before he gets feeling back in that finger.

Oh. And it turned out Steve Higgins had Lyme Disease over the break.
