In the Tonight Show's latest episode, Leno, in a monologue showed a fake Facebook page of the accused Times Square bomber. Jay with the joke hit back Conan O Brien, by pointing the fake profile of the NY car bomb accused was a fan of Team CoCo.

IN THE Tonight Show’s latest episode, Leno, in a monologue showed a fake Facebook page of the accused Times Square bomber. Jay grabbed the oppotunity to hit back on Conan with the help of the latest issue that dealt with the failed car bombing at Times Square.

Leno stated to the audience that he had found the Facebook profile for Faisal Shahzad soon after which the cameras panned over the fake facebook page showing Shahzad's friends, including Osama Bin Laden and Mahmoud Amadinejad. Then in the page, Leno showcased Shahzad's favorite activities that included Blowing Up Nissan Pathfinders.

The last in the page was Team Coco - the name taken by a group of fans who back former Tonight Show host Conan O Brien. It seems as if Leno is raring for a war of words after Brien talked about Leno on 60 minutes last weekend. The fans of Brien expressed much rage over social networking websites about the issue.

Jay Leno returned to Tonight Show, a programme he hosted for 17 years before leaving last May, this year after broadcaster NBC reached a 45 million dollar agreement with Conan, who had taken over from Jay in June last year.
