I think NBC should have gone with someone thats funnier I freaking hate the fact Jay is gone CO’B is not funny it seems his writers try harder to get the point across while Jay was always in the drivers seat even on a bad ratings day. I will miss the band and most of all Jay-Walking Conan sucks!!!

Miss you Jay Leno

I THINK CONAN IS HILARIOUS. HE KNOWS HOW TO CARRY THE CROWD. I THINK HE IS VERY FUNNY. HIS SKETCHES IS WHAT MAKES HIM FUNNY. I THINK THAT IT WILL TAKE A WHILE FOR PEOPLE WHO WATCHED JAY TO ACCEPT CONAN’S HUMOR. THEY ARE 2 DIFFERENT KIND OF COMEDIANS. I WATCHED JIMMY FALLON ON HIS SHOW AND HE IS NOT FUNNY AT ALL. HIS JOKES STINK. HE NEEDS NEW WRITER’S. HE ONLY TELLS JOKES FOR LESS THAN 5 MINUTES. I LIKE WHEN A LATE NIGHT COMEDIAN CAN TALK TO THE CROWD FOR 10 – 15 MINUTES AND GET THEM GOING.

My issue is that he’s now hosting The Tonight Show, which is supposed to be different than the Late Show with Conan O’Brian. If they just wanted the Conan Show, why didn’t they just move his show to the Tonight Show’s spot and be done with it?

Conan is hilarious…..his sketches are always the best part of the show. I liked the tour of the Universal lot last night. Leno is alright and Letterman is just plain boring. Conan is definitely for younger people and always has crazy skits and whatnot. Leno and Letterman are for older people and take nor risks and , consequently, are not as funny

Conan is a genius. These critics are not even sufficiently imaginative, much less intelligent enough to criticize him.

He was a teeny bit rusty but still hilarious. His Universal Studios tour skit was hysterical, and I love his Taurus. It’ll take a couple of shows for him to get his bearings down but he’ll be fine. I just hope he doesn’t change a lot from the old show, I loved it just as it was.

Don’t tell me the West Coast sucked all the funny from Conan? Why do New Yorkers and East Coasters in general make funnier comedians?

@ Jules,

Great point! I can’t sit through a Lena monologue more than 5 minutes, much less a Leno interview!

Conan is very funny and much funnier than Letterman, who I think is kinda overrated. Mean-spirited humor can only stay funny but for so long.

I wish Conan all the best!

I like Chelsea Handler at 11pm. I tried to watch Conan but it was painfully unfunny.
