Jimmy Kimmel Hits Back at Jay’s Sucker Punch Comment

As we mentioned, Jay Leno made an appearance on Oprah Thursday to give his side of the story. That “story” included a slam against Jimmy Kimmel, who Jay said “sucker-punched” him when Kimmel appeared on his “10 @ 10″ segment.

Well, Thursday night, Kimmel, in his own defense, decided to give people a behind-the-scenes look at what really went down. On his show, Kimmel explained that before being booked on The Jay Leno Show (they asked him to appear by the way) he was “pre-interviewed” by a producer from the show. When Kimmel realized that Leno wanted to discuss things like, “What’s your junk-food weakness?” Kimmel told the staffer, “I really think we have to talk about what’s going on with Jay and Conan because that’s what people want to hear about – not about my junk food weakness.”
