Super Bowl spot unites Leno, Letterman

Super Bowl spot unites Leno, Letterman - Business of Super Bowl XLIV- msnbc.com: "Super Bowl viewers were rubbing their eyes at the sight of a TV spot pairing CBS late-night host David Letterman with longtime NBC archrival Jay Leno, plus media magnate Oprah Winfrey.

Appearing early in the CBS-aired game Sunday, the ad depicted Letterman and Leno glumly sharing a couch watching the Super Bowl, with Winfrey seated between them trying to make peace.

Letterman grumbles, 'This is the worst Super Bowl party ever.'

'Now, Dave, be nice,' Winfrey urges.

A disgruntled Leno replies that Letterman is only complaining 'because I'm here.'

In a whiny high voice, Dave mocks what Jay has just said.

Oprah shakes her head and sighs.

That's it. The spot only lasts 15 seconds."
