You gotta love how Kimmel invited Leno into his yard, and Leno declined. That is pretty much Leno admitting he can't go blow-for-blow with Kimmel, who was owning Leno that entire segment. I don't know why the powers that be allowed that to happen, but whoever it was does not have a good sense of Leno's abilities.

Leno's status might be good for immediate ratings, or whatever. I think a lot of that is routine, a fanbase that Leno had established over 17 years, and a myriad of other reasons -- but Leno is taking so many hits in this war. On his own show, too. There is a good chance he will come out of this looking like complete crap, and The Tonight Show with Jay Leno: The Sequel might really suffer because of it. Then they are stuck with Leno, because Fallon is nowhere near ready, and they chased off their heir in Conan.
