Probably the last time as well. There was a commercial during the Super Bowl with David Letterman, Oprah, and Jay Leno watching the Super Bowl together. It didn't seem like a fun gathering, as Leno seemed depressed and Letterman just looked peeved.
Watching it, I wondered, did Letterman invite Oprah, and she brought Leno along? Or is it Oprah's party, and she invited both without informing them who else would be there in the hopes they'd put aside their differences, in the time honored tradition of sitcoms? Heck, I don't even remember what it was a commercial for (Oprah's show? Letterman's? Leno's? How hard it is to forgive and forget?) All it all, it seemed like it was just supposed to be a funny bit, which isn't a bad thing, just a bit strange.
I had an idea for something they could have added to it. At the end, cut to a shot of Conan O'Brien watching the Super Bowl all by himself, and looking suitably down. It'd be awkward, but the bit was already that, so what's the harm? If you'd prefer it be more uplifting, one of my coworkers (several of us went to a BBQ place to watch the game since we have no TV reception at our lodgings) suggested Conan get up and leap into a pile of that money he received to vacate the Tonight Show. Maybe he could porpoise through it like Scrooge McDuck. That would be cheery. OK, it still wouldn't make any sense, but we can't let that stop us.
