Leno's appearance in 'Late Show' ad kept secret from NBC, CBS staffers

In an image from video provided by CBS, David Letterman, Oprah Winfrey and Jay Leno, from right, record a promo for CBS "Late Show," which aired during the broadcast of the Super Bowl on Sunday. The promo was recorded earlier in the week at the Ed Sullivan Theater in New York. The ad revised Letterman and Winfrey's Super Bowl spot from 2007, but with another person watching the game with them — late-night talk show host Jay Leno.
NEW YORK — To pull off the surprise Super Bowl spot he did with rival David Letterman, Jay Leno flew secretly to New York on the NBC jet last Tuesday and managed to sneak into the Ed Sullivan Theater undetected wearing a hoodie, sunglasses and a fake mustache.
Rob Burnett, executive producer of CBS "Late Show," said keeping Leno's participation under wraps was the key to preserving the effect of the 15-second promo, which featured the two late-night comedians uncomfortably watching the Super Bowl together, with Oprah Winfrey trying to keep the peace.
"We wanted desperately to keep this a secret," said Burnett. "Most of the staff didn't know."
At NBC, Leno's executive producer, Debbie Vickers, NBC Universal Television Entertainment Chairman Jeff Gaspin and NBC Universal Chief Executive Jeff Zucker were in the loop, but few others had a clue that Letterman and his longtime rival had joined forces for what was easily the most unexpected Super Bowl ad of the night.
In the spot, Letterman is seen on a couch, glumly munching potato chips. "This is the worst Super Bowl
"Now, Dave, be nice," responds Wintrey, seated beside him. The camera then pulls back to reveal Leno squeezed on the couch on the other side of her, with his own bowl of potato chips, "Oh, he's just saying that 'cause I'm here," the NBC host says. Letterman then mimics Leno in a high-pitched voice, prompting Wintrey to roll her eyes, sigh and throw up her hands in frustration.
party ever." he savs.
Though Letterman and Leno have both flung pointed insults
at each other on the air in recent weeks during NBC's messy latenight imbroglio, Burnett said the two men got along well during the 20-minute shoot.
NBC officials had no comment on Leno's participation in the ad.
