It's safe to say Tonight Show host Jimmy Fallon isn't having the greatest summer. He spent 10 days in the ICU after falling and injuring his finger in a freak accident in June.
Apparently almost needing a finger amputation wasn't enough excitement for the comedian. He posted a photo to Instagram on Friday from the dentist's chair, where he was having a chipped tooth repaired. How did he chip his tooth, you ask? By trying to open scar tissue repair gel for his finger.
