In a recent interview, Jay Leno revisited the 2010 incident with Jimmy Kimmel that triggered their long-standing feud. Leno admitted regret for not editing Kimmel's jabs during an episode of "The Jay Leno Show." He explained that he believed it to be important to portray the truth of the situation, despite Kimmel's humor being at his expense. Leno recognized it was his mistake to trust Kimmel but suggests such experiences are valuable lessons in the entertainment industry.

It's not good TV for me because it started a whole thing that continues to this day.
He's a comic - you do what you gotta do. I mean, I wouldn't have done it, but that's okay.
