Yesterday I posted Conan O’Brien’s 60 Minutes interview with a little Leno bashing courtesy of President Obama thrown in for good measure. Today the Funny or Die team took it upon themselves to breakdown what was really going through Conan’s mind during his first interview since being fired by NBC. What proceeds is funny because it’s true.

On last night’s 60 Minutes, former Tonight Show host Conan O’Brien made his triumphant return to television with his first interview since being unceremoniously banned from being funny on TV by NBC. What follows is further proof as to why Conan is just a really funny and likeable dude and why NBC and Leno are a pair of used up clown shoes. Dirty old dishonorable unfunny clown shoes. Complete interview below.

Oh and also…during the celebrity laden White House Correspondents’ Dinner last Friday, President Obama kicked off the evening of levity by ripping Jay Leno like a piece of fart tissue paper-all too easily. Leno’s fake laughter ensues.

Wait, what?!?! Apparently Dave and the Late Show also tried to get Conan involved in CBS’ Super Bowl spot but ultimately “they had too much going on to consider it…” Which I’m sure involved “too much” of staying as far away from Jay “Let me Take My Show Back” Leno. Via Deadline Hollywood.

With the imminent departure firing of Conan O’Brien as The Tonight Show host, here’s a look back at Jay Leno in a graceful gesture back in 2004 as “The Chin” announced his own future departure from the legendary show.

Read more details as they happen, including Jay defending himself, from Deadline Hollywood.

I never thought I would be posting a clip from The Jay Leno Show but Jimmy Kimmel just really took it to Jay last night during Jay’s 10 at 10 interview segment and the results were just, wow. With Jimmy defending Conan so vehemently you have to wonder if Jay is some sort of comedy masochist of because maybe having Jimmy on the show wasn’t such a good idea after all. But Jay actually took it all on the chin quite well. Ba-du-bump! It writes itself people, it writes itself.
