Who dat? Dave, Jay and Oprah, that's who

Except for the Peyton Manning interception that sealed the Colts' doom late in the fourth quarter on Sunday, the biggest Super Bowl shocker had to be David Letterman, Jay Leno and Oprah Winfrey sharing a couch in a brilliant mock Super Bowl party.

According to the Associated press, CBS offered the "Letterman" show a 15-second promo slot, and Dave ran with it:

Close up of Letterman: "This is the worst Super Bowl party ever."

Widen out to include Winfrey:  "Now Dave, be nice."

Widen out further to reveal Leno:  "He's just saying that because I'm here."

Letterman (in a mocking, whiny voice):  "He's just saying that 'cause I'm here."  (Click here to see the spot)

The only thing that could have possibly been better would have been if Conan O'Brien showed up at the end and accused Leno of taking his spot (on the couch).

Still, TV doesn't get much better than that.

Kudos to Leno for showing up, and bring on the new late-night TV wars!
