I like Leno but the only part I really like is when he does Headlines

Conan is the better one I think. When a joke bombs he'll completely turn it around by making fun of it and doing it his way. Triumph the insult comic dog is completely hilarious and the WB guy walking out and staring into the camera while music plays always cracks me up :laugh: Also...when Conan had Martha Stewart on once he made her chug a 40 ounce beer and eat some Taco Bell. She wouldn't have done that on Leno :laugh:

But the greatest talk show hosts will always be Johnny Carson and David Letterman

Oh and Carson Daly? Why is he still on the air?

I've been wondering about that also. He barely has a viewing audience and he's not funny at all and always has the dumbest guests. His show is only 30 minutes. Except the Friday shows that go for 1 hour. 30 minutes isn't enough time for a talk show. Everything's rushed

If you compare two individuals, Leno is a slightly better comedian for the monlogues of the show. But as entertainers in general, Conan is a lot better than Leno. Leno's biggest problem is after more than a decade, he still can't conduct an interview without awkwardness. But The Tonight Show is bigger than Leno, and he's riding it's success. But Leno seems to be a good guy. Conan has greater challenge making his show a success, especially when no one expected him to last more than a season. But then, before you know it, Conan had his 10th anniversary show. And the show is still going strong. I personally like Conan better too. And that Andy Rictor made a mistake by leaving the show. Conan still has Max though, along with Triumph.

Yeah Andy Richter was stupid to leave the show

I also like when Conan rips into La Bamba just about every night. Sometimes feel bad for that guy though :laugh:

Absolutely. Been a fan of his since he came had his daytime show on NBC in 1980.

IMO, it goes like this:

Conan > Leno > * > Letterman

Conan is just extremely funny. Leno has his moments, but they are few and far between. And then of course there is Letterman. I am trying to figure out how he still has a show. Conan does have Triumph which is a huge plus. I guess it's just some of the random things he obsesses over for some time that makes it funny. He also makes watching every guest enjoyable. Conan 4 lyfe!

Go Conan!

I watch him all the time... my favorite late night host, and probably my favorite comedian.

"An indian airline company has decided to start putting Elton John pictures on the side of their planes. These new planes will be the same as the standard planes, expect the passengers will board from the rear."

Can't get much better than that.

I voted for Jay Leno, but I must confess that these late night shows aren't exactly my favourite. Often they just bore me.

On a side note, my friend's mortal enemy is Conan O'Brien. His last mortal enemy, Gilligan, or at least the actor who portrayed him, recently died. Wonder if Conan is on the hit list, along with his other mortal enemy, Chad Pennington...

I voted Conan because he's hilarious. I like Leno too, but less for his show and more for his car enthusiasm. I'd put Letterman right there with Conan, its hard to beat his top 10 lists...
