Late Night Beef

I admittedly rarely watch late night television. I retired from shows when Arsenio Hall went off the air. I occasionally tune in to catch a quick laugh before I hang out with Mr. Sandman.


With that being said, I've never been much of a fan of Jay Leno. To be honest with you, his chin creeps me out. I feel like he has a pet name for it. Jimmy Kimmel always struck me as frat boy funny which gets old after a while. Conan O'Brien looks like one of the characters artists draw when you are on summer vacation. My favorite is David Letterman and it does not have anything to do with the fact that he sleeps with his staff (wink wink).

I have been intrigued more by each of these guys recently. Since they are all involved in a rap style beef, I may have to set the dvr for the fire works.
From what I understand here are the major issues:
-Leno's new prime time show has bombed.
-Leno is on the verge of getting Conan O'Brien booted from his new gig as Tonight Show host because O'Brien refuses to move the Tonight Show to 12:05am (which would make the show the Tomorrow Morning Show) so that NBC can move Leno's prime time show to 11:35pm which is the current air time for the Tonight Show.
-Leno is O'Brien's former mentor and promised to step aside and give the Tonight Show to O'Brien.
-Lettermen is still bitter with NBC for giving the Tonights show to Leno since Johnny Carson was Lettermen's mentor and dispised Leno.
-Kimmel has no horse in the race but in true frat boy fashion, he is hanging around to instigate the situation.
-Jimmy Fallon only has the Roots going for him.

Whoa. My head hurts from just typing all that. I doubt I'll be able to stay up with any of these shows tonight.

No worries, the videos listed below show the highlights of the light night beef!
