Super Bowl viewers were rubbing their eyes at the sight of a TV spot pairing CBS late-night host David Letterman with longtime NBC archrival Jay Leno, plus media magnate Oprah Winfrey.
Appearing early in the CBS-aired game Sunday, the ad depicted Letterman and Leno glumly sharing a couch watching the Super Bowl, with Winfrey seated between them trying to make peace.
It revisited a promo from the 2007 Super Bowl with Letterman and Winfrey watching the big game. But with the surprise addition of Leno, the 2010 version addresses in compact form the talk-show turmoil at NBC, and the soon-to-be-rekindled competition between Letterman and Leno when he reclaims NBC's "The Tonight Show" on March 1.
"Dave had this idea, 'What about getting Jay and Oprah together with me?' and he wrote it," Rob Burnett, executive producer of "Late Show with David Letterman" explained by phone shortly after the spot had its single airing Sunday.
"We said, 'This is too funny to pass up.' First we called Oprah." Then Leno was approached, and he, too, signed on. That was two weeks ago.

A suprisingly funny superbowl ad. If only Conan was there with them though. Oprah always knows how to resolve a conflict. Oprah/Letterman 2012.
