Jay Leno on His Late Show Super Bowl Promo: ‘A Good Joke is a Good Joke’

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.

Sarah Silverman Says NBC Made A ‘Scumbag Move’ With Conan O’Brien

‘Conan did a lot for NBC,’ she says of the former ‘Tonight Show’ host. By Eric Ditzian Sarah Silverman Photo: MTV News Some folks in the comedy world have moved on from the 2010 late-night wars. David Letterman and Jay Leno even shot a Super Bowl commercial together last Tuesday in which the hosts appeared to bring their latest feud to a close. Others are still angered. On Thursday, before the Super Bowl spot aired, comedian Sarah Silverman came to the defense of Conan O’Brien , whom she maintained was treated poorly by his network bosses. “I just thought it was a real scumbag move of NBC,” Silverman told MTV News. “They should not be allowed to call themselves the NBC family. That should be their punishment.” At issue is the network’s decision to replace Conan on “The Tonight Show” with Jay Leno just seven months after the younger host took over. Silverman argued that Conan’s long history with NBC — he began hosting “Late Night” in 1993 — and the sacrifice of moving from the East Coast to the West Coast should have been enough to give O’Brien some ratings wiggle room. “Conan did a lot for NBC,” she said. “He was there a long time. They gave him a break. They gave him what he deserved. [Then he] uproots his family. The whole crew and cast and everyone that works on the show uproots from New York City and moves to L.A. That’s not an easy thing to do. They enroll their kids in school.” Silverman is more than a little familiar with the late-night landscape. In addition to being a longtime presence on various late-night shows, she dated ABC host Jimmy Kimmel for much of the last decade. While she acknowledges that NBC made a business decision — not a personal one — she also made it clear that new talk shows need time to develop a loyal audience in any given time slot. When asked if she’d return as a guest to “Tonight” — she appeared five times with Leno in the past — Silverman confessed she was unsure. “I don’t know,” she said.
