Absolutely it is. Leno and his show needs a boost and if its to get him lit up jokingly to do so, he'll do that.
As in most celeb interviews (in order to set up their stories) the guests either tell the host what to ask them, or have a fairly good idea before they go out there, what questions are going to be asked.
No different here as far as being pre-rehearsed, Leno was serving them up for Kimmell to knock them out of the park.
In a few months, Kimmell will be on Leno's show and people will give it a bump in ratings to tune in to see Jay get back at Kimmell.
As an aside, The Larry Sanders Show was a fantastic show and was pretty much bang on with the dynamics and drama of late night talk show production (so those in the industry have said) behind the scenes.
