If I never see Jay Leno hand-dip a strip of bacon in melted chocolate and tenderly feed it to a beautiful young actress again, it will be too soon. To her credit, Jessica Biel played along, claiming that the bacon was greased to perfection and allowing Leno to dabble the chocolate remnants from her chin, but still. And I know that Leno is not the only talk show host to flirt with his guests for the cameras, but to date, he is the only one to cuddle a guest on a vibrating motel room bed. Please Jay Leno Show producers, spare us this Seduction-Set Leno in the future. We'll take twice as many Headlines instead. After the jump, revisit your Valentine's nightmare and four other highlights culled from last night's after hours programming.
5. Jay Leno Covers Things In Chocolate
You might think twice about renting that chocolate fountain for your wedding after this "Earn Your Plug" segment.
4. A Lesson In Neutrality, By Jimmy Fallon
After force-feeding Jessica Biel with chocolate-covered fats, Jay Leno tracked down one late night colleague who would not ambush him during a 10@10 segment. Speaking to his NBC teammate via satellite, Leno lobbed a few softballs at Fallon before posing the question, "If Letterman and I were both drowning, who would you save?" Fallon's disappointingly diplomatic answer below.
3. Jimmy's Trash-Talking Band
The edgiest moment in Late Night with Jimmy Fallon yesterday was not when Jessica Alba took a picture with the host for her Twitter feed or when Fallon asked a few audience members to "dance their hats off." No, it came courtesy of Late Night band, The Roots -- specifically Questlove -- who took offense with a comment made by guest Michael Strahan about his Superbowl team.
2. Colbert's Hunter-Gatherer Instincts
Unlike his network rivals, Stephen Colbert (and Jon Stewart) focus on more esteemed guests -- authors, politicians, newscasters. The brief interviews are sometimes fun, but not usually enough to keep viewers from switching channels to see who Letterman is talking to. If that was true for you last night, you missed Colbert's genuinely entertaining discussion with a guy that no one cares about -- a real life caveman. The guest's answers were so entertaining that Colbert couldn't help but drop out of character towards the end of the segment.

1. Silverman's Hand Stamp
Sarah Silverman stopped by the Late Show last night to spend an entire segment adjusting her dress. Despite the high risk for wardrobe malfunction, Silverman told alternately delightful and disturbing anecdotes, making her one of the week's top five late night guests.
