Conan and The Tonight Show...a good matchup?
Personally, I think he rocks. |
|
Conan is like Letterman was 15 years ago.
Letterman has turned into a huge Douchebag |
|
Conan is funny. I'm almost getting to the point where I like him better than Leno.
Jimmy Fallon is the big flop/let down, IMO. Of the maybe dozen times I've watched it, I've only lasted maybe 10 minutes. Horrible... |

I personally like that about Conan, he doesn't take himself too seriously...or even remotely seriously at all. Letterman seems to think he's gods gift to television, which is far from being an endearing trait. I do miss Leno though, he had a very different style from Conan but his monologue was usually pretty great. He also writes a car column in Popular Mechanics that I really enjoy, seems like a really decent guy. I like both Conan and Leno, but for different reasons. |

Sorry charlie, the Tonight Show ceased to exist for me when Johnny Carson walked off the set for the last time.........................................
Fuck Leno and Conan! |
|
Conan is awesome. He pokes at everybody and doesn't seem like a fucking libtard like Letterman
|
|
CONAN is the fucking man. NBC's late night star shines bright.
|
|
I've like Conan for a long time. Wasn't he part of the reasons why Chuck Norris all of a sudden was being mentioned all over the internet when Conan started airing ridiculous clips from Walk Texas Ranger?

I actually met Jay Leno 6 years ago at Laguna Seca during a classic car race. He was a very nice guy and was willing to talk to some people for a bit, even though he was there just to admire cars. On stage or around old cars, the guy is in his element |

My parents got to see him do standup about 10 years back at some huge GE dinner thing, I was pretty jealous. |

I view Conan as the best late night host ever. The guy is simply a riot. Not only is he funny as hell, but he also is willing to make himself the butt of his jokes the majority of the time. It is one thing to make fun of others, but when you can constantly makes jokes about yourself, that is something entirely different. Conan basically has every element you would want in a comedy show host.
BTW, I have to also give credit where it is due. It isn't just Conan. It is also the writers and supporting cast he has around him. Every single one of them are top notch and I am glad they moved over to the Tonight Show with him. They are a team that works together in perfect sync, like a well oiled machine. They have chemistry. That certainly played no small role in the success of Conan's shows. |

I havent seen Conan on Tonite yet. I am pretty sure he will be great.
Letterman was inovative when he first started. And carried that thru for many years. When he went to CBS, and got a big paycheck, he seemed to change for the worse. Too serious, and preoccupied with himself. But, yeah, the early years were good stuff. |

I like Conan's show much better than that douche nozzle Letterman
|
|
Fallon was a let down, I dislike that Roots band or whatever the fuck they call themselves.
Conan is great, hopefully he doesn't F it up. |
|
Have yet to see it as I don't watch tv much anymore. But I loved him back in the old days at late night. Especially when he had Andy on there with him. Those were some HILARIUS days.
|
|
I don't normally watch any of the late night shows, but I saw a few of the Conan Tonight Shows on Hulu. The first couple were kind of iffy, but the one with Norm MacDonald was pretty great. He seems to be getting his groove back.
I wish they would let Andy back on the couch, though. He doesn't really do anything and it is a huge waste. |

This, random favorites would be the "saga" he had feuding with Michael Bolton haha and the Trip to Finalnd http://www.hulu.com/watch/58643/late-night-with-conan-obrien-conan-in-finland |

Late night TV, no, TV in it's whole, is a buch of freaking fail. Who the F cares if Conan is whatever? Why? Throw the TV in the trash and you will be amazed at how much time you have to actualy do something productive.

I've been a fan of Conan since he took over Late Night. I love him as the Tonight Show host.
I don't know if he's necessarily better than Johnny Carson, though. I think time will have to tell. |

How is this even a question? You have to understand that not everyone on this site grew up watching Johnny. I wasn't allowed to watch late night television until about the time Conan took over Late Night, so I've pretty much grown up with Jay and Conan. I've gone back and watched Johnny's shows though. He was a damn funny guy, and one of Conan's inspirations I might add. I think he was funnier than Jay, but I'm not sure yet about Conan since Conan just took over the show. I haven't seen enough of Conan's Tonight Show to say either way. That's just me though. |

I cannot compete. The children of my children will still be living down the merciless beating you have bestowed upon me, good man. I pray for the day when the memory of this event crumbles like the sands falling through an hourglass, counting the moments until my favorite show bathes me in its soothing light. |

I haven't watched it. My mom watches Letterman. She went on and on the other day about how everyone is STILL flocking to Letterman to get on his show.
I want my own talk show. "The Deej Show" would be held on a gun range and not a soundstage. That way, I can have Old_Painless and others on and first we can talk and then we can shoot. Wouldn't be popular with the MSM, but fuck'm. |

Better quality here: http://www.hulu.com/watch/58209/late-night-with-conan-obrien-hunter-s-thompson (If Conan is an anti-gun type, I sure hope he keeps it to himself! I'd hate to boycott him.) |

There will never be another Johnny Carson.
That said, Conan O'Brien is damn funny. A nice combo of razor-sharp whit, weirdness, and self-deprecating gags. And hey, what about that masturbating bear? |
|
I wouldn't know since I gave up watching the "big 3" networks a long time ago....

HIs first few episodes were rocky, but with that long of a break from being on stage, who wouldn't be?
Now that he's getting back into his groove, hes doing an excellent job. I enjoyed him before, and I enjoy it ever more now that I can watch him an hour earlier. Jimmy Fallon needs to GTFO. |

His jokes suck.
He is way to goofy, He cant interview guests worth a shit, and they need to change whoever is writing the jokes now. Leno was ok, nothing beats Carson tho. I never liked him. He doesnt even do the headlines or jaywalking kinda thing. LAME |
