The 2010 incident with Leno and Kimmel was derived from a widely published conflict over the succession plan for the hit hit show of the NBC show in the late-night show “The Tonight Show”.
In 2009, Leno agreed to deviate as the host “The Tonight Show” so that O’Brien could take over. In return, Leno got his own temporary talk show, “The Jay Leno Show.”
When both shows fought in ratings, the NBC suggested that the Leno show returned to the late night and pushed “The Tonight Show with Conan O’Brien” in a later time layer. O’Brien refused and left the net While Leno returned to Hosting “The Tonight Show”.
Fiasco resulted in a great deviation against Leno and NBC. Kimmel, who was the advocate of O’Brien, made titles to appear on the Leno’s Talk show a year later, during which he invited the host for his role in controversy.
When Leno asked Kimmel about the best difficulty he had ever pulled, Kimmel joked: “I told the boy that he would give you his show for five years, and then when he had come for five years, I gave him, and then I returned him almost immediately.”

Looking back, Kimmel said the rivalry was rooted in his love for David Letterman. Letterman hoped to take over the host The Tonight Show after the departure of Johnny Carson in 1993, but he left the NBC for CBS when Leno raised a role instead.
“You have to remember how much I love David Letterman. When all these things happened, I was just a fan, reading Bill Carter’s book [1994’s The Late Shift: Letterman, Leno, and the Network Battle for the Night.] And he was a villain and a hero, and Dave was a hero and Jay villain. I started with a negative sense of it. Sometimes I am inserted into situations that I have no insert into business. “
However, Kimmel said he softened his attitude on Len after a kind phone call.
