Jay Leno cracked a few jokes about his rumored reclamation of The Tonight Show chair in his monologue on The Jay Leno Show Wednesday evening, but moved on shortly thereafter.

"Good news from Afghanistan," Leno said. "Critics of the war have stopped referring to it as 'another Vietnam.' They are not calling it that anymore. The bad news -- they're now calling it 'another NBC.'
"Welcome to NBC," Leno continued, "America's most dysfunctional TV family ... and you thought the Gosselins were screwed up!

Leno's closest thing to a shot at Conan O'Brien implied that he got as much of a raw deal from Peacock Network execs with his poorly-received variety show.
"Conan O'Brien, understandable, is very upset.," Leno said. "He had a statement in the paper yesterday. Conan said NBC has only gave him seven months to make his show work. When I heard that ... seven months! How did he get that deal? We only got four! Who's his agent? Get me that guy. I'll take seven!"

Leno also fired back at Jimmy Kimmel, who did his entire Tuesday show made up to look like Leno, which complemented his spot-on impression.
“I was going to come out dressed as Jimmy Kimmel," Leno said in response. "But I realized I do not have enough black shoe polish here at NBC to get my hair that dark!"

Word has it , Conan out, last day,01/22. His choice. Probably a bluff. Let him go to another network, Ratings will be Leno, Letterman.........Conan, with no one to blame for low ratings. The best man won.
TEAM LENO!

Jay should not stab both Gosselin's. Jay is acting like a spoiled man/boy just like JON Gosselin. Jay is a JERK like Jon.

Wow Jay, your jab at Jimmy really hurt! ouch. I'm sorry but Jay lost out. He needed to do different things in his variety show to stay on. Now to get Conan's spot is plain wrong. Jay failed, he's out.

Jimmy Kimmel doing Jay Leno is a must see. I don't which Jimmy, Leno took a stab at ...probably Fallon (low). But if you can find Kimmel doing Leno the whole show with chin and mannerisms, lame jokes...worth it.

Both of them need to stop what they do. They are both highly overpaid fools.

Leno is the best. If he moved to another network, opposite Conan and Letterman, he would still have the #1 ratings. Are you listening ABC?

It is so sad that NBC and whomever else is responsible for putting these 3 or 4 or is it 5 people against one another now! They are all good people...it's a shame.
