Jay Leno detailed the “toughest part” of caring for his wife, Mavis Leno, amid her battle with advanced dementia.
Speaking to Hoda Kotb on the “Today” show Thursday, the comedian described a “heartbreaking moment” that Mavis relived every day for three years.
“The toughest part was that, every day, she would wake up and realize someone had called to tell her her mother had passed away,” he recounted. “Her mother died every day for three years. And not just crying, you’re learning for the first time.
“That was really tricky, that was really hard.”
