Jimmy spent several minutes discussing his heavily bandaged hand, the result of a serious injury on June 26 which had forced the cancellation of that night's taping prior to a scheduled two-week break (the scheduled guests had been
Benicio Del Toro,
Taylor Kitsch, and
Penn Jillette and
Teller). Jimmy had caught his wedding ring on a countertop while falling in his kitchen, almost tearing off his finger - which necessitated elaborate microsurgery including the transfer of a vein from his foot to his hand, and a ten-day stay in intensive care.
