Were you Team Coco or Team Jay? 

We’re referring to the highly publicized battle that occurred between Jay Leno and Conan O’Brien over “The Tonight Show” back in 2010. And if you remember that, you may also recall a similar rivalry that took place years before– this time between Jay Leno and Dave Letterman. 

But these late night talk show conflicts are just part of what we cover in Part 2 of this lively episode on late night talk shows. Here’s a glimpse at a few other events that come up…

What secret deal helped Jay Leno land the spot as Johnny Carson’s replacement? How did Conan O’Brien strike back at NBC when he felt he’d been mistreated by the network? What heartfelt Craig Ferguson monologue from 2007 is now legendary? And which talk show host ended the NBC ban on Joan Rivers by inviting her on his show?

We give you plenty to talk about in this fun episode! Find (and subscribe to!) the show on your favorite podcast app or the Scandal Water Podcast Youtube channel.
