Howard Stern Calls Jay Leno a "Crook" on TV Interview

Howard Stern says that Jay Leno is a "crook."

In an interview on Piers Morgan Tonight, the shock jock calls the NBC late-night host "insane" and accuses him of stealing sketch ideas.

"Jay is a crook and the world knows exactly what he's up to. He steals a tremendous amount of material," The New York Post quoted Stern as saying."This guy's ripped off like 10 major things from my show."

Stern also adds he's baffled that Leno has beaten fellow late-night host David Letterman in the ratings.   

"It's beyond my comprehension," Stern says. "America must be filled with morons who at night lay in bed -- the ones who are watching him, they must be in a coma."  

Stern's interview airs Tuesday at 9/8c on CNN.
