Television personality Jay Leno recently opened up about his previous feud with fellow TV host Jimmy Kimmel. The rift originated in 2010 when Leno resumed hosting 'The Tonight Show' after Conan O'Brien's controversial departure, and Kimmel, as a guest, made several jokes at Leno's expense.
Leno, speaking on 'In Depth With Graham Bensinger,' admitted that he regrets not editing out Kimmel's remarks, labeling it a 'mistake' that he takes responsibility for. He acknowledged, 'When Kimmel came on my show and humiliated me, I let it happen. I made a mistake and should pay the price.'
The tensions have since eased, with Leno extending an olive branch after Kimmel's son underwent heart surgery in 2017. Kimmel has expressed appreciation for Leno's gesture, marking an end to their longstanding conflict, as reported by Variety.
