what did jimmy kimmel do to jay leno

In 2010, Jimmy Kimmel appeared on Jay Leno's show and humiliated Leno by making several jokes and sharp digs at him regarding the controversial situation in which Leno took back "The Tonight Show" hosting duties from Conan O'Brien after briefly handing them over. During the interview, Kimmel joked about the "prank" of giving someone a show and then taking it back almost instantly, clearly referencing Leno's actions. Jay Leno allowed this to happen on his own show without editing out the humiliating moments, saying later that it was his mistake for trusting someone and that he should pay the price for it. Although Leno regretted the incident, he accepted it as part of being a comic and acknowledged that Kimmel was just doing what comedians do. Their feud eventually softened, especially after Leno reached out to Kimmel during a difficult time in 2017.
