Jay Leno: ‘Conan Was Treated Terribly’

Before taping a segment for "The Tonight Show with Jay Leno" on Tuesday, HLN host Joy Behar conducted a candid, impromptu video interview with Leno about how former "Tonight Show" host Conan O'Brien was treated prior to his departure from the network last February.

"Conan got screwed -- I got screwed," Leno told Behar. "I mean, this is TV. The reason show business pays a lot of money is so when you get screwed you have something left over."

The funnyman turned serious, adding, "Conan was treated terribly, and I was treated terribly … and I think Conan will come back and he'll be strong, and we'll all compete against one another. It should be me against [David] Letterman, against Conan [O’Brien], against [Jimmy] Kimmel, and then you see who wins."
