The following is a partial transcript from Jay Leno’s interview with Oprah Winfrey, scheduled to air tomorrow.

Oprah:  “Have you talked to Conan in person?”

Jay:  “I haven’t talked to him through all this.  No.  I haven’t.”

Oprah:  “Did you want to pick up the phone?”

Jay:  “Yeah, but it didn’t seem appropriate.”

Oprah:  “Why?”

Jay:  “I don’t know.  I think it—let things cool down and maybe we’ll talk, you know?”

Oprah:  “Were any of the things that he said about you hurtful?”

Jay:  “No.  They were jokes.  And that’s okay. I mean—”

Oprah:  “So jokes don’t hurt you.”

Jay:  “It’s what we do, you know?  You can’t—it’s like being a fighter and say when you got punched in the head, did it hurt?  Well, yeah.  But you’re a fighter.  That’s what you do.”
