Am I the only one who doesn't mind either Conan or Leno? I liked the old setup better though, Conan was free to be a little more wacky in his old slot, and that suits him well. And Leno definitely had his moments as well.

One thing I think everyone agrees with : Fallon is simply terrible. It's a shame, he seems like a really nice guy, but his show is about the worst thing I've ever seen, I'd rather watch random spanish TV that I don't understand at all, at least you get some gratuitous T&A on those shows.

My theory on Fallon is that NBC thought he was going to be the next Chevy Chase, so paid him a huge check to leave SNL and make movies. He did that Taxi movie with Queen Latifa and they found out he couldn't act his way out of a paper bag. To recoup their money, they said "Uhhhhh....let's stick him in Conan's place!"

The problem is- he's not comfortable in front of people, making him a terrible host. A good host has a magnetic personality where you feel at ease. Fallon looks like a nervous mess- making him hard to watch.

In my opinion the Triumph bit they did at the Premier of The Phantom Menace is probably the funniest bit ever done on Late Night TV.

Craig is definitely the funniest nowadays. His interviews of Shirley Manson and Kristen Bell (who seems to want him soooo bad) are epic.

It's funny I've seen a couple of Craig Ferguson interviews now where the girl is clearly flirting with him. Don't see that on any of the other talk shows!

I'm with Coco! And have been since 96.

That pic isn't creepy/disturbing at all, dunno what you guys are talking about.

Uh, hello? Conan gets the Victoria Secret models all hot and bothered.

Yes, I stand corrected. Because YOU don't find him funny, and nobody you know finds him funny (which consists of 2 guys and 16 Facebook contacts), nobody has any right to like him.

Thank you for clearing that up.

I was going to have sausage and mushroom pizza for dinner. Do you like that? I need to know if it's OK to eat that or not.

PS- Also, the fact you're mentioning that car desk thing (something he hasn't done in like 8 years) shows you haven't seen the show lately and are basing your criticisms on assumptions.

No, I have seen his show recently, the fact I had to bring up something 8 years old shows how piss poor the show still is. The car this is retarded but the only thing that got close to a chuckle out of me from his show. I've seen 2-3 shows a year since then, and always go to bed wondering why the fuck I wasted my time. I hate FB and have no friends on it.

I'm not from the US and hadn't heard of Conan O'Brien.

I was expecting Conan the Barbarian pics (many of which are indeed disturbing)
