Jimmy Kimmel strikes back

ABC late night host Jimmy Kimmel

Late night comedian Jimmy Kimmel, who nailed Jay Leno for his poor handling of the Conan O’Brien – Tonight Show debacle in the early days of the fiasco, delivered another roundhouse punch in responding to Leno’s claim that Kimmel “sucker punched” him.

Says Kimmell:

If I made any mistake, the mistake I made was thinking Jay would have anything other to say than what was written on the cue cards. I figured he’d get into it and mix it up. You know, at one time he was a comedian. But he just stood there, kind of reading through the questions like a robot and then goes off and rats me out to Oprah.
