Late Night Highlights: Old Tonight Show Wounds and Conan's $1.5 Million Sucker Punch to NBC

Nice to see Leno dusting off those old Clinton jokes.
Pretty smart to stick it to them with that sketch. Also, Max and the band are playing decidedly expensive music around the commercial breaks so I'm sure this whole debacle is going to end up costing a good bit more than that $44 mil.
