Leno on Letterman -- I've Been Extorted Too!

Jay Leno just couldn't pass up an opportunity to crack on his old late night rival David Letterman -- and dare we say ... it was actually kinda funny.

Jay Leno

Leno confessed that he too was once the victim of an extortion plot, saying, "How do think NBC got me to do a 10 o'clock show?"

11. I like Jay, Conan and Dave. They are like our children, different personalities and appreciate what each has to offer. There are no comparisons as each is unique. As far as Dave, his sex life is personal and it is for him to work out and I think he has. The same goes for Jay and Conan. People make silly mistakes and it is not up to anyone to jump on any bandwagon to destroy. Everyone has their own life to bring to perfection along the way of growth. Thank goodness most have time to reflect and correct.

13. Jay "the chin" Leno sucks. He is jokes are corny and he cannot improvise. All his best material is him just pointing out how stupid Americans are. Yet idiots in middle America eat it up. Go figure.

Posted at 1:03PM on Oct 3rd 2009 by Leno sucks, Conan rocks

14. Anybody seen the HBO movie the The Late Shift? About the battle between Leno and Letterman for the Tonight Show?
