Leno to Oprah: 'Calling Conan Didn't Seem Appropriate'

With only 24 hours until The Oprah Winfrey Show airs the first interview with Jay Leno since NBC's sloppy Tonight Show mishandling, Harpo Productions has finally released a video preview of the segment.

Click through to see the entire 40 second clip and decide whether Leno is still NBC's Maritime Disaster Hero or the Hitler of Late Night.
