Agreed that Conan is the best, but I far prefer Letterman to Leno.

Being a late night queen, I must say that I prefer watching Letterman more then Leno. Conan O'Brien is definitely better than those two. I went through a stage where I watched Leno a lot, but Letterman has always made me laugh much harder and much more frequently. What I do like about Leno is Jay Walking though. What a bunch of morons. I watched one time, and people didn't know how many stars were on the flag or what the White House looked like. I enjoy laughing at the stupidity of others. rolleyes.gif

Letterman rules because he can make me laugh just by staring at the camera and smirking. I love it.
Conan of course is the master, but only because he is the hipper younger generation. Someday he will have the 11:30 slot, just as Letterman was once the young hip dude and moved up. Then some newer, hipper dude will move in to the 12:30 spot. Maybe it will be MacCauly Culkin or Urkel. Who knows what the future holds?

the jay-bashing must stop! nah, not really. i still like him though. i mean, c'mon, he has jay-walking! and he usually has way better guests. but of course conan is my master. that cat-like thing he does is hilarious.

As HaveSomeSoma knows, I am the Letterman fan. I do enjoy Jay Walking and tonight Jay did win me over (come on! The combo of Michael Caine AND Tina Fey!!) but both Oasis and Weezer made their TV debuts on Dave. Dave is just funnier and less annoying.

But Conan rules all. Conan is hilarious. Conan is a cat. Conan is all that.

nbc should know that leno is struggling with this younger, hipper audience. unfortunately, i doubt that the major networks take into account the features fan demographic.

conan o brian bugs the hell out of me too. he has some good musical guests, but his voice and his bad jokes, and his bobby brown hair... too much for me. ph34r.gif
thank you for being a friend.

Conan is the best, by far. Too bad it comes on after my bedtime these days.
An open frame in the 10th, I WAS ROBBED!

Thank God for Central Time Zone, where Conan is on at decent hours.

As for his "Bobby Brown haircut"...hey, it's his perogative.
