Jay Leno has a new face and new schtick.

Back out on the talk trail after recovering from burns sustained while he was working on his beloved cars, Leno has a new outlook.

“Only for the second time in my career, am I the new face of comedy,” he said on “The Kelly Clarkson Show” Wednesday. 

Leno suffered burns to his hands, face and chest in his accident. He underwent two procedures, including a surgical excision and grafting. The 72-year-old Leno acknowledged that he was treated by Dr. Peter Grossman at the Grossman Burn Center.
