The late-night television landscape witnessed a seismic shift when NBC surprised everyone by replacing Jay Leno with Conan O’Brien on The Tonight Show. However, the unexpected drama continued when Leno made a comeback, cutting short O’Brien’s relatively brief stint as the host.
Notably, Jimmy Kimmel joined the fray, donning a hilarious impersonation of Leno in a comical episode. Although his specific reasons for being upset remained somewhat unclear, Kimmel’s parody added another layer of humor to the late-night showdown, illustrating the complex dynamics and rivalries within the industry.
