Jimmy Fallon almost gets his finger ripped off, has to have surgery

Tonight show host Jimmy Fallon had to cancel his taping on Friday after a hand injury required him to have minor surgery.

Fallon tweeted Friday that he tripped and when he caught his fall his ring caught on the side of a table and “almost ripped my finger off.”

He tweeted: “I’m doing well and thanks for good wishes everyone.”

He has some built-in recovery time since the show was scheduled to be on hiatus for the next two weeks anyway.
