Everybody Loves Conan: All the Video Clips from Last Night's Late Night War
Each of the late night hosts responded in their own way to Conan's statement yesterday that he won't follow Jay Leno. Jokes were made, jabs thrown, insults flew — and Matt Cherette was busy clipping at Gawker TV. Here's a rundown:
"My name is Conan O'Brien and I may soon be available for children's parties." - Conan O'Brien
Other highlights include: Howie Mandel's special edition of Deal or No Deal, remarks from guest Tom Brokaw, and Tonight Show writer Deon Cole likens the situation to "being pimped."

"The folks here at NBC dont handle these things well, they don't have a lot of tact. They told me if I put on ten pounds I could get on The Biggest Loser. - Jay Leno
Other highlights include: Guest Sandra Bullock and Anderson Cooper sounds off on NBC.

"Conan said he made the decision not to follow Leno at 12:05 after he talked to Johnny Carson. And then I got a call—just before I got out here— from NBC saying "Look, we don't want you back." - David Letterman

"Craig, are you burning your bridges there with NBC? Yes. What do you mean, you dont want to work for NBC ever in your career? No. They're lying rat bastards." - Craig Ferguson

Jimmy Kimmel donned a grey wig and faux chin and did his show as Leno all night. He even got guest Chevy Chase to partake by wearing an orange wig à la Conan during part of his interview.
