Leno has been open about having high cholesterol in recent years, and when he delayed going to the event, some fans assumed he had health issues related to his cholesterol. In 2019, he released a video encouraging his fans to get their cholesterol checked regularly, claiming:
“There are many people like him; They are like ticking time bombs.” You didn’t realize you had that much cholesterol until it hit you, you know? It’s like a car, if a piece of dirt gets in the eye of the injector, you’ll hear an explosion and no more gas comes out. That’s what happens to your heart.”
