Trash talk is a healthy part of any rivalry. If the writers of the other shows didn't secretly agree with what was posted (then deleted), they'd be breaking the balls of the Conan writers in return.
I'm growing weary of the click-bait concept. If Fallon and Kimmel and the rest want to generate viral YouTube videos, let them, but then give the late night talk shows over to someone who still wants to host late night talk shows.
