The recent debacle between Conan and Leno has provided us with some memorable moments in Late Night television. Between the two of them and even from Letterman and Kimmel, who did an entire show as Leno, from his huge chin, down to his mannerisms. Fallon tried to get in on the act, but he sucks. And Daly? Well I don't think anyone watched Carson Daly. Does he even have a show anymore?
Anyways this got me thinking about other feuds in Late Night. There was Letterman and Leno fighting for Johnny Carson's show when he retired, there was thing with Letterman and Crispin Glover, Jerry Lawler beating up Andy Kaufman on stage and the "feud" between Conan, Stephen Colbert and Jon Stewart. But the most entertaining was Kimmel and Mat Damon. In a running joke, Kimmel would apologize after every show for running out of time and having to bump Damon. Kimmel finally got Damon to come on and informed him and the audience that he was out of time and asked him to come back tomorrow. Damon stormed out with Kimmel in hot pursuit. After Kimmel and Sarah Silverman's public split, she and Damon teamed up to make a video about their new relationship. Kimmel, clearly bothered by the news, decided to hit Damon where it hurts.. Ben Affleck.
