Those of you who watched the sort-of-enlightening “60 Minutes” episode last weekend in which Conan O’Brien carefully cha-cha’d around the issue of Jay Leno’s late-night hijacking of his “Tonight Show” gig might find this “Funny or Die” spoof, well, funny.

In this clip from Tuesday’s episode, as Jay Leno hunts for cue cards to open “The Tonight Show” a familiar voice calls out, “Hey, Jay—we’re goin’ old school tonight.” Yes, it’s Sarah Palin, taking the now-familiar route of attempting to drum up good PR by spoofing herself on a late-night comedy show.

Late night hosts Jay Leno and Conan O’Brien are set to resume their talk shows without writers. An NBC executive says “there are hundreds of people who will be able to return to work as a result of Jay’s and Conan’s decision,” but one imagines dwindling ratings have something to do with their plans. David Letterman, meanwhile, may work out a deal with the Writers Guild that would allow his show to come back with writers.
