Kimmel says it like it is

Yeah, that was really brutal and crossed the line between funny and mean. You know I tend to like Kimmel, but to go on Jay's show and be so nasty really was lacking in class.

Whether he was 'telling it like it is' or not - I think he went too far. It was definitely cringeworthy.
 
I think Jay was in on it, the questions he asked were pretty specific, he surely had the opportunity to pass on some.

The possibility that it was rehearsed did not occur to me; still, to participate in something like that made Kimmel look bad. I thought Kimmel's portrayal of Leno on his (Kimmel's) own show was a bit over the top, but not as bad as what he did on Leno's show. (Except for the chin, he actually looked more like Bill Clinton with that gray wig!)
 
More people are watching Conan and Leno now because of the situation. This reeks of a publicity stunt. The more "bad" stuff you say the easier it is to stir and get the numbers

Lack of class, my foot. More like steel cajones!

Really, how could Jimmy Kimmel avoid the subject? Furthermore, Leno knew what Kimmel was capable of (the man threw barbs about his own network at an upfront once), yet allowed him on anyway.

Both Kimmel and David Letterman have been on point with their milking of the controversy for laughs.

Neither of whom are particularly funny anyway. ::) And Letterman's recent whinings just reek of sour grapes over not getting Tonight 18 years ago! ::)
