BURBANK -- "Tonight Show" host Jay Leno has been hospitalized.

According to Tracy St. Pierre of NBC, Leno checked himself in to the hospital because he wasn't feeling well.

St. Pierre confirmed, tonight's show taping has been canceled.

There had been speculation that Leno may be suffering from food poisoning, however St. Pierre said she did not believe that was the case.

She would not elaborate on the comedian's condition, except to say Leno was being checked out by doctors.

He is said to be in "good spirits" and writing jokes from his hospital bed.


Guests on tonight’s show were expected to be Ryan Reynolds, Jules Sylvester and swing band Big Bad Voodoo Daddy.


Instead, NBC will run a previously aired show.


Calls to his publicist from KTLA have not been returned.

Los Angeles police are questioning Big Bad Voodoo Daddy after he was found with a Jay Leno Doll that had pins stuck in the neck.
