L ast night's Super Bowl may have been a sentimental victory for New Orleans, but let's take a moment to honor the other disaster survivors who celebrated a win: David Letterman and Jay Leno.

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 Oprah Winfrey.
