Supposedly not staged but very salty in the beginning.

quote:

If there was an Emmy for Best Late-Night TV Fight, Burt Reynolds and Nickelodeon star Marc Summers would have won it after an epic clash on "The Tonight Show" in 1994. In wake of the legendary actor's death on Thursday at the age of 82, fans resurfaced the Jay Leno interview that went off the rails when both men were seated next to each other. After verbally sparring and then throwing water at each other, they physically clash -- with pies, a hallmark of his former kids show "What Would You Do?"


quote:

The beef started when Reynolds apparently felt slighted by Summers facing his back to him while speaking to Leno. "Who told you that you were a neatness freak?" Reynolds asked. "I just say that because your back is to me and I was just talking to a back." "My wife tells me that often. I'm still married, as a matter of fact," Summers said, and Reynolds snapped. The movie star, who was on the late-night show to promote his memoir "My Life," was in the middle of a tense divorce with Loni Anderson. He did not think Summers' comeback was funny and immediately dumped his "Tonight Show" mug of water on the comedian.

Some of it was staged but I think a lot of it was unscripted. Ah the good ole days of when late night tv was actually funny
