HOLLYWOOD, Calif. — As expected, David Letterman's sex and extortion scandal has opened the comedy floodgates.
Jay Leno certainly took advantage of the opportunity to poke fun at his longtime rival, devoting several jokes in his monologue to Letterman, who on Thursday revealed being the victim of a $2 million extortion plot.
"Settle down. If you came here tonight for sex with a talk show host, you've got the wrong studio," Leno told his studio audience Friday night.
The 59-year-old comedian, whose shift to primetime on the "Jay Leno Show" has drawn mixed reviews, later confessed that he's stayed away from having sex with members of his staff.
"I'm happy to say that I've never had a sexual relationship with any of my staff members," Leno quipped, resulting in a member of his band throwing down his drumsticks and storming off stage.
