Still recovering from a serious finger injury in June, Jimmy Fallon chipped his tooth.
The Tonight Show host announced the new wound on Instagram, posting  selfie from the dentist’s chair and writing, “Chipped front tooth trying to open tube of scar tissue repair gel for recovering finger injury. Thank you Dr. Jobe DDS! #BestSummerEver”
According to reports, Fallon already taped the episodes for the week, so filming for Tonight Show was not affected.
Two months ago, Fallon was forced to cancel a Friday-night taping after he hurt his hand that morning and had to have surgery. He tweeted a quick explanation of his injury that night: “Tripped and caught my fall (good thing)! Ring caught on side of table almost ripped my finger off (bad thing).”
Fallon explained what happened a few weeks later, explaining that he nearly had to have his finger amputated after suffering “ring avulsion” when he tripped, fell and caught himself with his left hand, snagging his ring on the countertop and causing his finger to go “sideways.”
The host had to undergo six hours of surgery and spend 10 days in the ICU. He told viewers he wouldn’t get feeling back in that finger for another eight weeks.
