Maybe its because I never watched Conan's late night, but I think he is horribly unfunny. He even gets interesting guests and manages to make that boring and unfunny too. He has had a few good skits here and there, but 95% of the time watching paint dry sounds more exciting.

I thought Leno wanted to retire? What happened to that?
on the news, they said according to the ratings, he' s way less popular than Leno.

Personally, I like Leno and Conan and really dislike Letterman and Fallon so this shake up doesn't really bother me.

This. Fallon is excruciatingly painful to watch.

John Stewart and Stephen Colbert FOR THE WIN!

Howard Stern hates Jay Leno..he's gonna have a field day with this one...he had said that Jay Leno's show wouldn't make it.

I find Conan hilarious because he enjoys poking fun at himself. Anyone who can't relate to dorky random humor won't like Conan. Anyone who doesn't like the web 2.0/iPod generation dorky type of humor, won't like Fallon...at all.

I think Leno is great, but the primetime content just isn't for me.

Watching Fallon is like watching the Chris Farley interview skits on SNL..

"Dude.. remember when like, you were in that movie, with that guy? Yeah that was AWESOME. And then, that one time, I saw you at the club.. that was so cool.. YOU ARE SO COOL.. Awesome"

Fallon should be hosting Price is Right not a talk show..

That's the best description I've heard of Jimmy Fallon. Just throw in a dose of ADD, that's pretty much him.

Definitely agree that Fallon is extremely painful to watch. I loved the Family Guy episode where Peter beat the crap out of Fallon for always looking at the camera. Fallon does have the Best Band of all the Late Night Shows though.

Personally, I think Jimmy Fallon has no business being a host of anything, but that's just me. For Price is Right I think Wayne Brady would have been a better host then Drew Carey. Drew Carey just seems awkward and not as personable on that show for some reason.

Jon Stewart - I personally like him a lot more when he was back on MTV (The Jon Stewart Show). Now I find it a bit more hit or miss with him. I still think he's funny, but I've sat through entire Daily Shows before where I didn't laugh once.

Leno & Letterman, I would bounce back and forth and check each one out depending on who the guest or musician was. Started off liking Letterman, then switched to Leno later on. After Top 10 List & Headlines though I would usually tune out of both shows unless there was someone I really wanted to see.

I like Conan's sense of humor most of the time, but he also does seem to have hit & miss times as well, but typically for me it is more times where I enjoy the show rather than times where I don't enjoy the show.

I agree. Wayne Brady currently hosts "Let's Make a Deal" on daytime CBS. The few times I've watched him was pretty entertaining. His jokes and imitations are great.

Conan sucks in Jay Leno's spot.
He needs to move back to his old slot.

Yea, it seems like Conan's writing team is holding back on the weirder segments because it might deter the folks who've been watching that time slot for years. Conan fans are used to it, the old left over Leno fans aren't. You really do have to have a weird sense of humor to enjoy Conan. Haha, I think it's easier to pick out the people with weird senses of humor in this thread (Conan fans) and who aren't (Leno fans). Just sayin'....
