The ‘Jay Leno Hill Challenge’ Proves That He Was Probably Telling the Truth After All

If the mob really did put a hit out on poor Jay Leno, will the victims of the Jay Leno Hill Challenge be able to tack on their personal injury claims to the RICO case?

Back in November, the late-night TV legend suffered the latest nasty facial injury in his long history of nasty facial injuries, later playing off a massive bruise covering the entire left side of his head as the result of a tumble down a hill in the Pittsburgh area while on tour. Leno insisted that he slipped and fell down the incline next to the Hampton Inn in Greensburg, Pennsylvania while attempting to take a shortcut from the hotel to a nearby lunch spot, but internet skeptics weren’t so sure that the long-time Tonight Show host wasn’t just concealing the consequences of running up a tab with the Cosa Nostra.

Well, if a 75-year-old entertainer having unsure footing sounded a little far-fetched to some conspiratorial Leno fans, they sure have been silent since the terminally online began making pilgrimages to the Pennsylvania mount to test the slippery surface for themselves:

As the Pittsburgh-area content creator Saxboybilly18 discovered, the incline of the hills surrounding the Hampton Inn at Greensburg, Pennsylvania are no joke, and even a man who is significantly younger than Leno and presumably has a less extensive history of bizarre injuries found the hill that gave Leno a nasty shiner to be a perilous summit.

So, yeah, the hill that Leno identified as the aggressor in his devastating facial injury seems just as capable at incapacitating an older person as any mob hitman would be. It’s still mind-boggling that Leno even attempted to descend such a treacherous slope, let alone in November, when conditions were likely even worse than they were when Saxboybilly18 faced the beast. But, then again, Leno’s risk tolerance is nearly as legendary as his collection of classic cars that keep blowing up in his face.

Time will tell if Saxboybilly18’s daring climb will inspire other Pittsburgh-area adrenaline jockeys to tussle with the grassy knoll that nearly put Leno in the ground, which should concern the Hampton Inn’s legal department — hell, they might even need to go off the books and hire some local muscle to keep would-be insurance liabilities off of their hill. I’m sure the mafia knows the mound all too well.
