Jay Leno Breaks Down in LA [Photos]Driving one of his antique cars in Los Angeles last weekend, Jay Leno broke down, landing himself in an interesting situation.

The 'Tonight Show' host pulled over in front of a Chili's restaurant when smoke started pouring from under the hood of his red 1907 automobile.

"The car's engine just started smoking in the heat and it looked like it was catching fire," one onlooker told RadarOnline.com.

Rather than dial a mechanic, Leno got help from ordinary passers-by; they carried pitchers of water from Chili's, and someone offered a fire extinguisher to help out.

The improvised maintenance took a half hour. Leno was able to drive away without a problem.
