When David Letterman brought Conan O'Brien as a guest on The Late Show Thursday, you knew this was going to come up. And it was pretty amusing.
The two late-night talk-show hosts reunited on the program after 13 years, and Jay Leno, who famously forced Conan out of NBC, came up quite a bit.
Letterman didn't shy from admitting the rivalry brought him a bit of happiness, to which O"Brien, his one-time Late Night replacement, responded:
"If this is bringing you some measure of joy, then to hell with my career."

Letterman said Leno was always "a bit of a brat," and Conan confessed that the two comics had little in common, even back in the NBC salad days.
After some minor digs, Conan admitted he's in a good place, though.
"I feel terrific, I really do… I'm so very lucky to get to go on television and to get to do my thing my way, and TBS lets me do whatever I want."
"Checks come in and I have a great time. We took all of our people with us, everybody is happy. I'm thrilled. It worked out. I'm a lucky person."
"They don't watch it, they don't care."
We should all be so fortunate.
It feels like 1993 all over again.
Jenny McCarthy will pose nude for Playboy's July/August issue, marking a surprise return from one of Hugh Hefner's most famous Playmates of the Year.
After almost 20 years, the soon-to-be 40-year-old model, actress and mom is returning to show off her goods on the cover of the men's mag June 29.
Jenny first posed for Playboy in 1993 for a modest $20,000, earning herself the title of Playmate of the Month and a bit later on, Playmate of the Year.
She confirmed her return to the magazine with a bit of irony.
McCarthy told E! this week, "All I wanted to do [when she began in the industry] was work with my clothes on, and now I just hope to get them off!"
Any objections? Guys? No? Speak now or forever hold your ... nevermind. Check out three vintage Jenny McCarthy Playboy covers after the jump:
I love you guys so much because you have the courage to have a dream.
That's what Steven Tyler told the remaining three American Idol contestants tonight. Alas, for one of Phillip Phillips, Jessica Sanchez and Joshua Ledet, the dream is now over. So... following a painful Ice Age 3 tie-in and a performance by Adam Lambert, who got voted out of season 11?
JOSHUA LEDET!
The talented crooner takes it very well and even brings his mom on stage as he sings farewell via "Man's Man's Man's World."
This leaves Jessica Sanchez, likely the best voice of the season, and Phillip Phillips, the obligatory cute-white-guy-with-a-guitar-who-wins-every-season, to square off on next week's finale.
Do you think Ledet deserved to be voted off?
Who will win American Idol?
Brooke Hogan may not have an inappropriate relationship with her father, but she is following in the Hulker's footsteps. His wrestling boot-strapped footsteps, we should say.
Sources confirm to TMZ that the former reality star/failed singer has signed a contract with TNA Wrestling - but she actually won't enter the squared circle.
Instead, oddly enough, Hogan will work new female wrestlers in the company, helping them develop characters, cut promos and enter with the right music. What qualifies Brooke for this position? Her last name. That's pretty much it.
"Brooke is such a great talent who's really sharp and will make a great addition to the TNA family," says TNA President Dixie Carter and, hey, it's not like the relationship could be any worse than the one Hogan has with her own family.

Is the gluten-free girl going to wither away before our eyes?
Leaving the Delano Hotel in Miami Beach Wednesday, Miley Cyrus sported a slim gray mini dress, putting her shrinking figure on full display.
Later, she rocked a tube top and some shorts that barely covered what little of her there is left. Both outfits have sparked some concern ...
In April, the last time Miley Cyrus anorexic rumors popped up, she explained on Twitter that her noticeable weight loss wasn't from battling an eating disorder.
"For everyone calling me anorexic, I have a gluten and lactose allergy," she said. "It's not about weight - it's about health. Gluten is crap anyway!"
The 19-year-old then added, "Everyone should try no gluten for a week! The change in your skin, physical and mental health is amazing. You won't go back!"
Even if that's true, to a point, people can go overboard, as some say Miley has done with whatever's caused her to appear so gaunt of late.
Or not. Talk to THG: Is Miley Cyrus too thin?

What will it take to finally get country singer LeAnn Rimes to move on and stop talking about the scandalous affair that she and Eddie Cibrian carried on? It's not even like she was the one who was scorned in the whole thing. Why must she continually bring this topic up each and every time she makes an appearance or gives an interview?
On The Ellen Degeneres Show this week, LeAnn felt the need to discuss the drama, yet again. Regarding the affair, she said it "could've been handled a lot better. But maybe we both didn't have the tools at the time to do it properly. But I've learned a lot. Obviously we all make choices that lead us into a different path, here and there, and you learn from those or you don't."
She went on to say (as if to justify something), "It obviously brought us to the place where we are now. And we're happy, and we're married. I think we have both come to a really good place in our lives. And right now, I'm really at peace."
That's all fine and good, but maybe if you're truly 'at peace' as you say, it's best to put it all behind you. For good.
