Leno’s doctor echoed his humorous attitude during his time at the Grossman Burn Center West Hills Hospital.

Both men have iconic faces, but looking like Clooney is like hitting the recent $2.04-billion lottery.

“He’s handsome and he’s happy,” Allen said. “The hospital is doing a great job taking care of him.”

Earlier this week, Leno was seen in a hyperbaric chamber.

According to the FDA, hyperbaric oxygen therapy “involves breathing 100% (pure) oxygen while in a special space called a hyperbaric chamber. The air pressure inside is raised to a level that is higher than normal air pressure. The increased air pressure in the chamber helps the lungs collect more oxygen. Getting more oxygen to the tissues that need it can help the body heal and fight certain infections.”

New video footage shows Leno’s left arm wrapped in a white bandage up to his elbow while his entire right hand is wrapped up. His face is entirely wrapped in gauze.

Leno’s doctor, Dr. Peter Grossman, spoke to IE and told them his “injuries are serious,” but he’s in “good condition.”

Dr. Grossman is the lead doctor at the famous Grossman Burn Center West Hills Hospital.

The TV personality did have to undergo a “grafting procedure” to replace areas of burned off skin. Dr. Grossman explained he’s had skin grafts that are not his own, meaning skin the hospital had in its skin bank from donor skin.

A skin graft is a patch of skin that is removed by surgery from one area of the body and transplanted, or attached, to another area, according to Mount Sinai.

“His injuries are serious, his condition is good,” Dr. Grossman said, adding that Leno “did well” during the first surgery.

Leno is set to undergo another medical procedure this week, but that information has yet to be made public.
