Leno on Letterman — We Buried the Hatchet
You’ve read about the Cold War-level skulduggery that went into keeping that Letterman/Leno/Oprah Late Show promo secret in the days before the Super Bowl . Tonight, Jay Leno gave his side of the story on his show. It was nothing that we didn’t already know: Dave’s producer called up Jay’s producer and asked if Jay would want to be in the spot. Jay said yes and the two recorded the ad in a super-secret shoot with Oprah last week. Some have wondered what Leno could possibly have to gain from appearing in a spot for his soon-to-be rival (again). Tonight, Leno spun the ad as a very public move to clear the air of any leftover fog of Late Night War in advance of his move back to The Tonight Show : I walk in and I see Dave, and he puts out his hand and we shake hands. And you know, whatever happened for the last 18 years disappeared. It was great to see my old friend again. It was wonderful—he was very gracious, we talked about the old days, we told some jokes… you know, it was really good to see him. But if the Late Night Wars spectacular ratings boost are any guide, Leno should be throwing darts at a picture of Dave’s face right about now.

Jay Leno on His Late Show Super Bowl Promo: ‘A Good Joke is a Good Joke’
How badly does NBC just want to put this Whole Conan Thing behind them? Via Peter Kafka at All Things Digital , so badly, they’re trying to eradicate all history of it ever having existed from The Internet. What history? Exactly . But come on, Peter Kafka. NBC wouldn’t be so stupid and brazen as to remove the archives of their first serious cause célèbre to come to the network in a while, would they? If you said “yes” outloud just now, well, you’re right. Per Peter : A little odd, given that a couple of days ago, the network was offering every single “Tonight Show” episode O’Brien had taped on NBC.com. But then again, everything about this story has been odd. I’ve asked NBC for comment. NBC – at least, I’m assuming it’s NBC – has also been aggressive about taking down Conan episodes from Google’s YouTube (GOOG). A look at NBC’s site shows, well, nothing. The NBC-partnered Hulu shows nothing, either! Nothing here, either That said, you can still watch other great NBC programming, like… Lipstick Jungle ! Which was canceled last May. Or Kings ! Which, like Conan’s show, was a fan-favorite NBC canceled because they were too incompetent to figure out how to make money off of it. Or the NBC reboot of Knight Rider, which was just as stupid of an idea as it sounded! You can even buy old Tonight Show gear! But you know what you can’t do? Watch Conan O’Brien ‘s The Tonight Show. Probably because it reminds NBC of nothing but their tremendous failure to do anything correctly, ever. A pattern they manage to move forward with by erasing Conan from their memories. Thankfully, for you, dear customer: Conan Lives On, in our hearts, minds, and at Gawker.TV , where we’re apparently servicing NBC’s customer base better than that network will ever—ever—be able to be.
