Leno/Letterman/Oprah Superbowl Ad

Here's my take on Letterman; Since Jay announced Conan's taking the Tonight Show in 04, Dave's been waiting to be #1 again. He knew there is no way in hell that Conan could beat him. And as he was right, and Conan lost almost 50% of the Tonight Show audience, NBC gives it back to Jay. Letterman, although I think he's a god, reacted as a human would, and got a bit passive-aggressive, no aggressive towards Jay. Now that there has been some time, he's bucked up, and everything will be as it was. Two of the kings of late night will duke it out again.
Whoever though of that commercial, I bet it was Dave is a genius. I loved it. -

There's an article about the ad in the paper. It was Dave's idea. The ad of course was kept top secret. Leno arrived in New York in disguise. The two men were nice to each other on the set. They wanted Conan for the ad too but apparently he never got back to Dave.
