Jay Leno joked about fellow has host David Letterman’s recent extortion plot.
Letterman ,the target of a $2m (£1.25m) blackmail plot, has had affairs with several female staffers on his talk show, and admitted to them on a broadcast last week.
Leno, who moved to a new primetime format with The Jay Leno Show this season, poked fun Letterman TV Guide reported.
“If you came here tonight for sex with a talkshow host, you’ve got the wrong studio,” he said. “First Conan hit his head and then someone tries to extort money from Letterman? I am so glad I’m out of late night.
“I’m happy to say I’ve never had a sexual relationship with any of my staff members.
I really like the way Letterman handled himself during all of this. He didn’t take any guff from the perp.
