Holy crap, his little xmas spectacular opening was one of the weirdest things I've ever seen on TV, and part of the reason I still love Conan after all these years. No talk show on TV is willing to be that bizarre

Did Anyone Watch Conan Obrian Tonight?

It's true. His fan base is slowly but surely dying off, and once they are gone, how will he pay for his steam powered cars?

It's not so much him that I love, as it is his writing team, which is top notch. He's fine, but his writers are fcking awesome, and he has the best skits of all the late night hosts by far ( with kimmel being the second best, i suppose)

Craig's actually probably my favorite host, though I like Conan's show better, due to the writing/star quality. But I think that craig is naturally funnier than any of the late night hosts ( Letterman in his prime is a whole other animal, for the record. In his late late show days, he was the best there has ever been)

On a scale of 1 to 10, Leno gets like a 3, Letterman gets a 4, and Conan gets maybe a 9, or a 10 for the old Andy Richter days.

I like Conan better because he seems to improvise more.... even if it is something the writers wrote Conan makes it seem like its his own.
Leno seems to me like he is really great at memorizing jokes, and that is it. Some of the stuff he talks to his guests about are retarded. I know in all talk shows they talk to the guest about what they want to talk about, but Leno makes it so obvious. It's painful listening to famous actors trying to tell stupid stories to Jay.
Leno does has great writers which is why it gets ratings, but I can't stand him. I'll watch Conan, Letterman, and Kimmel before I watch Leno.
(edit) The Conan I'm watching is like 4 years old. He was making jokes about the show Joey and the last summer olympics.

The when Conan thought that he was going to be "the man" to watch on NBC. He's still going to have to air his show after Leno, and the news, and most people will turn off their TV's before Conan starts:

I used to think the same thing, but you just have to give it a chance and start understanding that humor, then you'll see the light.
He's much more entertaining to watch. Most people watch the other shows for the guests, but Conan can have terrible guests and it's still decent to watch. When I do watch, it's mostly for the parts before the guests anyway. Not so much with anyone else though.

You must be blind, deaf and retarded. There is nobody...and I mean NOBODY, that is even close to Conan's level. Conan is better than Leno or Letterman have ever, ever been and it's not even remotely close. There's a reason they were pretty much bumping Leno to keep Conan from leaving NBC..Conan is that good. Leno is okay (Letterman is just awful....), but he's just not on Conan's level.
