Jimmy Kimmel On Jay Leno Show: Video
Kimmel pleads with Leno: 'Conan and I have children!'
Jimmy Kimmel showed up on Jay Leno's show Thursday night to roast -- actually slam -- Leno. Earlier in the week ABC late night host Kimmel had dressed up like Jay Leno with an exaggerated chin and a wild salt-and-pepper wig to do what Leno has called "a cruel impression of me," so when Jimmy showed up on Jay's show, it grabbed viewers' [much-needed] attention.
Jay brought Jimmy in via satellite from Hollywood. "Any big late night news?" Leno asked.
"I don't know Jay, I watch Oprah at night," Kimmel said.
Jay asked Jimmy a list of ten questions, including:
"If you got to interview anyone in the world, who would it be?"
"You and Conan, together," Jimmy said, to which Jay only raised his eyebrows.
And when they get into a talk about strippers, Kimmel says, "I don't like strippers because you have a phony relationship with them for money. Sort of like the way you and Conan were on The Tonight Show together passing the torch? You know what I'm saying." Finally Jimmy Kimmel tells Jay Leno, "Listen, Jay, Conan and I have children, all you have to take care of is cars. I mean, who have lives to lead here. You've got $800 million, for God's sakes... leave our shows alone."
This whole late-night mess at the Peacock has turned into such a cluster-duck that even we can barely keep it straight. Latest report is that NBC wants to put Leno on at 11:35 and Conan on after, but Conan's bucking it.
So, everybody's asking...are Conan O'Brien and Jay Leno fighting? And is Conan's last Tonight Show really just a week away?
