Kanye West is going on "Jimmy Kimmel Live" Wednesday to settle what Kimmel has called their "rap feud," which began last month when Kimmel had a segment poking fun at an interview Kanye gave to the BBC.

Kanye responded with an irate phone call to the late-night host, demanding an on-air apology. Then, Kanye fired off a series of tweets reprimanding Kimmel for spoofing "the first piece of honest media in years," which Kimmel then heartily relayed to his viewers.

In anticipation of Wednesday night's skirmish, here are the five best late-night feuds.

1

Oprah Winfrey vs. David Letterman 1989-2005

Letterman long had punch lines about how Winfrey refused to go on his show — he even launched an on-air campaign to get her in his chair. Oprah eventually explained she'd had an uncomfortable experience on the "Late Show" in the late '80s. And Letterman admitted he once stuck Winfrey with a bill for lunch when he ran into her at a restaurant. "She was with Steadman, I was with my then-girlfriend Regina. We were both at a restaurant having lunch on vacation. I said to Regina, 'Oh, this is hilarious, I'm gonna make Oprah buy us lunch,'" Letterman told Jon Stewart in 2010. The television titans made amends in 2005, ending the 16-year face-off, when Winfrey went on the late-night show and Letterman apologized.

Johnny Carson vs. Joan Rivers 1986-2005

Rivers was a permanent guest host for Carson in the '80s, but when she left his show for her own competing late-night show on Fox, things got nasty. Rivers has said when she called her colleague to tell him the good news, he hung up on her, and the two never spoke again. Carson passed away in 2005. "I think he really felt because I was a woman that I just was his," Rivers wrote in the Hollywood Reporter just last year. "For years, I thought that maybe he liked me better than the others. But I think it was a question of, 'I found you, and you're my property.' He didn't like that as a woman, I went up against him." Rivers buried the hatchet this year — sort of. In an episode of her WE series "Joan Knows Best," she visited Carson's grave. It's sad and emotional, until she concludes with "RIP… you son of a bitch."

Stephen Colbert vs. Daft Punk August 2013

The French electronic band canceled an appearance on the Comedy Central show in August citing a contractual obligation to perform on the MTV "Video Music Awards." Colbert responded hilariously with a star-studded "Get Lucky" dance party video. And Daft Punk never did perform at the "VMAs."

Conan O'Brien vs. Jay Leno 2010

In 2004, NBC announced O'Brien would succeed Leno on "The Tonight Show" in 2009. But right before the big switch happened, NBC, afraid of losing Leno to a competing network, announced a new nightly prime-time series, "The Jay Leno Show," to air right before "The Tonight Show." Awkward. O'Brien failed to score the big ratings, and seven months later, NBC put Leno back at the high-profile desk — resulting in a slew of O'Brien and Leno jokes at each other's expense.

5

David Letterman vs. Madonna 1994

Modal Trigger David Letterman gives Madonna a present on the "Late Show" in 1995.

Madonna appeared on "Late Show" in 1994 and unleashed a record-breaking 13 f-bombs. It all started when Madonna came on stage and attempted to have Letterman smell a balled up pair of underwear she'd brought. He refused. She called him a "sick f–k." And then Madonna, who smoked a cigar throughout the segment, refused to leave the set. Now the two are frenemies.
