Viral Video: The Conan Debacle's Final Score (Game Goes to Letterman!) [BoomTown]_


The snake finally ate its own tail in long-running NBC debacle over its mishandling of its late night show switcheroo, with a Super Bowl promotion for David Letterman’s “Late Show” on CBS (CBS) last night.
It starred Letterman, daytime talk show queen Oprah Winfrey and–big reveal–Jay Leno.
The bit was perhaps what will be the final joke in humor-heavy mess around the cloddish game of musical chairs perpetrated by NBC management on the Viacom (VIA) television network’s late night stars.
In the end, “The Tonight Show” host Conan O’Brien was out and replaced by former “The Tonight Show” host Leno, who had previously been replaced by O’Brien and whose own attempt at an earlier show bombed.
Of all the players, “Late Night” host Letterman has actually gotten the most mileage from it, taking an endless number of dead-on shots at Leno, all of which portrayed him the villain of the imbroglio, including employing a high-pitched impression of him.
That mockery was on display in the short promo, with the trio on a couch for what Letterman called the “worst Super Bowl party ever.”
It wasn’t.
Enjoy the video, as well as the 2007 promo it was based on with just Letterman and Winfrey.
