"Things got awkward on Thursday&amp;apos;s Jay Leno Show when Leno welcomed Jimmy Kimmel.\r\nKimmel participated in Leno&amp;apos;s &amp;quot;10 @ 10&amp;quot; segment, which involves a celeb answering 10 questions via satellite.\r\n\r\nLeno asked Kimmel to relate his best prank ever.\r\nKimmel said that he told a guy five years ago that he&amp;apos;d give him his show, and &amp;quot;then I took it back.&amp;quot; (In 2004, Leno agreed to surrender The Tonight Show to O&amp;apos;Brien in 2009, after 17 years as host. NBC is now deciding whether Leno will resume his 11:30 p.m. slot; O&amp;apos;Brien recently said he would not accept NBC&amp;#x2019;s request to move his show to 12:05 a.m.)\r\n\r\nAt that point, Leno asked Kimmel. &amp;quot;Ever order anything off the TV?&amp;quot;\r\n&amp;quot;You mean the way NBC ordered your show off the TV?&amp;quot; Kimmel replied. During a discussion on strippers, Kimmel said, &amp;quot;I don&amp;apos;t like strippers because you have a phony relationship with them for money. Sort of like the way you and Conan were on The Tonight Show together passing the torch? You know what I&amp;apos;m saying.&amp;quot;\r\nHe also told Leno: &amp;quot;Listen, Jay, Conan and I have children, all you have to take care of is cars. I mean, who have lives to lead here. You&amp;apos;ve got $800 million, for God&amp;apos;s sakes... leave our shows alone.&amp;quot;&amp;#xA0;(Kimmel made fun of Leno on Tuesday&amp;apos;s Jimmy Kimmel Live. Wearing an exaggerated fake chin to play Leno, he joked that he was taking over all late-night shows, including Kimmel&amp;apos;s, and announced that ABC stands for &amp;quot;Always Bump Conan.&amp;quot;)\r\n\r\nMeanwhile, Leno and O&amp;apos;Brien are continuing to rip each other.\r\n&amp;quot;Hi, I&amp;apos;m Conan O&amp;apos;Brien, NBC&amp;apos;s &amp;apos;Employee of the Month,&amp;apos;&amp;quot; he said in his monologue Thursday. &amp;quot;There&amp;apos;s a rumor that NBC is so upset with me, they want to keep me off the air for 3 years. My response to that is, if NBC doesn&amp;apos;t want people to see me, just leave me on NBC.&amp;quot;\r\nLeno fired off jokes on his show as well: &amp;quot;In other TV news, Sarah Palin has signed with Fox News to be a correspondent. Fox says, if she does a good job, they&amp;apos;ll sign her to a long-term contract. And if it doesn&amp;apos;t work out, they&amp;apos;ll just blame Leno.\r\n\r\n&amp;quot;With all the controversy going on here at NBC, actually,&amp;quot; he continued, The Tonight Show With Conan O&amp;apos;Brien&amp;apos;s ratings have gone up. &amp;quot;So, you&amp;apos;re welcome!&amp;quot;"^^<http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema#string>
