During his opening monologue, O'Brien addressed the chatter concerning Jay Leno and himself by listing a number of really preposterous rumors including:
- I'm pregnant with Jay's baby.
- Jay's pregnant with my baby.
- We're both pregnant with Tiger Woods' baby.
Much as what Leno did the previous night, O'Brien also took shots at NBC (video embedded below the fold with complete rumor list):
- The Jay Leno Show is going to be canceled.
- Jay is moving back to 11:30 and I'm moving to midnight.
- Both of our shows will be on at 11:30 running simultaneously on split screen.
- The Tonight Show will be an iPhone app and the Jay Leno Show will become an Xbox game.
- Jay and I are quitting both of our shows and co-starring in a new buddy cop drama called "Coco And The Chin."
- Jay and I will be joining the cast of "Jersey Shore" as a new character called "The Awkward Situation."
- I'm pregnant with Jay's baby.
- Jay's pregnant with my baby.
- We're both pregnant with Tiger Woods' baby.
- NBC is going to throw me and Jay in a pit of sharpened sticks. The one who crawls out alive gets to leave NBC.
It's nice to see both of these gentlemen handling this uncomfortable situation with such charm and good humor.
