Jay Leno is going after David Letterman, answering his comic rival’s recent taunts with an attack on his private life.
"Letterman had been hammering me every night," Leno said tonight in the opening of "The Jay Leno Show," taped this afternoon for broadcast later this evening. "Hey Kev, you know the best way to get Letterman to ignore you? Marry him. He will not bother you. He won’t look you in the eye."
Dayuuuuum!
Leno seemed to realized he has escalated hostilities by bringing up Letterman’s confessed affairs with "Late Show" staffers.
According to NBC’s transcript, he followed up his joke by saying, "Here we go… get the ride going."
