David Letterman was the only host last night to acknowledge Conan O'Brien's heart-wrenching 60 Minutes interview -- "I always say, if you can't say anything nice about Jay, let's hear it."

It sounds grim, but there were some highlights from last night's programming worth revisiting -- all compiled after the jump.
