In separate monologues, David Letterman and Jon Stewart acknowledge their “new” late-night competition

Meet your new late-night TV competition, same as the old competition. That was the case for David Letterman last night, as just like a year ago, he's up against Conan O'Brien for viewers. And unlike Jay Leno, Letterman had no problem bringing up Conan by name. Or using it at Leno's expense.

Here's some footage from last night's Late Show monologue (with added jokes about former President George W. Bush's new memoir). Roll it.


 

The situation is decidedly different for Jon Stewart on Comedy Central. He's been ruling the roost at 11 p.m., but now he and Conan will be targeting the same demographic. For some reason, Stewart isn't all that optimistic, at least by how he opened the show last night on The Daily Show. Roll it.

  1. “And unlike Jay Leno, Letterman had no problem bringing up Conan by name.”
    Considering Leno didn’t have enough class to acknowlege/thank Johnny Carson when he first took over the Tonight Show, I’d expect nothing less.

  2. I will recommend not to hold off until you earn enough amount of cash to order different goods! You can get the personal loans or just secured loan and feel comfortable
