Howard Stern Thrashes Jay Leno in an Interview

Howard Stern is not a fan of Jay Leno. Actually, Howard completely trashed Jay’s jokes, his fans and even his reputation while doing an interview with Piers Morgan on his new CNN show. That’s Piers’ new show, not Stern’s in case you were freaking out there.

The show aired on Tuesday night and many people who watched it or have read about it today wonder how Jay will respond – if at all – today.

How can Jay not address the fact that Howard insulted his fans, accuses him of stealing jokes and says he is a jerk over the whole Conan O’Brien late night disaster? He said to Piers via his CNN blog:

"I won't do [his show] again."

Stern is also staunchly Team Letterman. "I don't know why he's beaten David Letterman in the ratings," said Stern. "It's beyond my comprehension. America must be filled with morons, who at night lay in bed, the ones that are watching him, must be in a coma."

A coma? Aren’t these some of the same fans and the same age group that Johnny Carson used to hold? Why is Leno's act so much different than that of Johnny Carson? Do you think that Howard could just be a teensy bit jealous of the success that Jay has had in not only TV, but in books and other things in life? Maybe. But he would never, ever admit it.

Maybe Howard is a secret Leno lover and he is only trashing him in public to look a bit more macho. I can see that! What do you think Leno will do – reply or ignore?
