OMG!!!!!!!! If you stepped out to go to the bathroom or grab some chicken wings during the Super Bowl, you may have missed the most dumbfounding TV moment I have witnessed in YEARS.Yes, Jay Leno and Oprah Winfrey both showed up with David Letterman in a promo spot for Late Night with David Letterman, which you can see by clicking on this link.
To produce the spot, Oprah tweeted that all three went to a set at The Ed Sullivan Theater where Letterman and crew do The Late Show each night.
Of course, this leaves us with many questions.
Why on earth did Letterman want to be in the same room with Leno?
Why did Leno want to be in the same room with Letterman?
Did NBC know Leno was going to appear in a promo for Letterman's show, which COMPETES with The Tonight Show, which Leno will now be hosting, again?
Was this Oprah's idea? Dave's? Jay's?
I cannot remember any time in my life when two sworn enemies and competitors of Jay and Dave's stature did something like this, and I am dying to find out why.
And, thanks to Bill Carter at The New York Times, we know how it all came together.
