While attending a memorial for Richard Jeni at the Laugh Factory, Jay Leno thought his friend Paul Rodriguez was George Lopez in an attempt to squash the beef between them. Leno said to Rodriguez, “We shouldn’t be airing this stuff in public.â€
“I am a little hurt. I’ve worked with him for going on 30 years,†Rodriguez said. “Our families know each other. I thought I was on the inside of Jay’s circle. When Letterman was kicking his buns, I told my Latino viewers to support Jay. I don’t know what makes people so forgetful. Maybe it’s time for Conan to come on [as Leno’s replacement].”
Leno’s spokesperson said, “It was dark in the club. He thought he saw George out of the corner of his eye. He started talking and then realized it wasn’t George. … He hadn’t seen Paul in a year. They both laughed.”
