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 posted a video encouraging his fans to get their cholesterol checked regularly, while also claiming:
“There are many people like him; They’re 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 speck of dust gets into the injector’s eye, you’ll hear an explosion and no more air will come out. That’s what happens to your heart.”
