Jay Leno on 'Oprah': Admits to lying, ridicules Conan's 'Tonight Show': This is damage control?

In a fascin displai Commercial Kids Inflatable Jumpers of self-piti and hubris, Jai Leno went on Oprahtodai and realli let loose: He said that the plan to return him to Th Tonight Show wa a huge mess, that he d been sucker-punch by Jimmi Kimmel, that he d li when he told the public in 2004 he would retir when he left Th Tonight Show in 2009, and that there s a lot of damag control that ha to be done now. Believ me: There ll be even more to be done after this Oprah interview.

Jai Leno admit to Oprah Winfrei that I told a white lie on the air when he said in 2004 he d retir after he left the Tonight Show in 2009. It wa just mayb easier that way. He said he assum he d just get a job at anoth network.

Amaze figure: A poll conduct on Oprah.com found that 96% of Winfrei s audienc wa on Conan s side in thi mess.
