Although Joy Behar was the guest on yesterday’s Tonight Show, it was Jay Leno who opened up for the cameras backstage. In a chat for Behar’s HLN show, the late-night host claimed Conan O’Brien wasn’t the only one who was treated badly by NBC.

“Conan got screwed. I got screwed,” Leno said about the network’s programming decision. “I mean, this is TV. The reason show business pays a lot of money is so when you get screwed you’ve got something left over.”

“Conan was treated terribly—and I was treated terribly,” he added.

So where does he think his predecessor - who is currently set to hit the road - will go from here? “I think Conan will come back and he’ll be strong,” Leno said. “And we’ll all compete against one another. It should be me against [David] Letterman, against Conan, against [Jimmy] Kimmel, and then you see who wins,” he said.
