For the last several years, The Tonight Show (with Leno) was consistently beating Letterman. Now that Conan has taken over, The Tonight Show is consistently losing to Letterman by a couple of million viewers a night.

It doesn't really matter who you or I think is funnier between Jay and Conan. It matters who the millions of viewers think is funnier and the millions of viewers think Leno is funnier.

Putting a webcam on my ferrets would be a lot more fun and entertaining than those dunderheads on TV.

Letterman used to be funny, I guess, but man, he's like a broken down 8k claimer that had once run 4th in the derby.

I used to really like Letterman when he was on at 12:30pm. His off-beat kind of humor seemed better suited for the 12:30pm time slot. His sense of humor isn't quite mainstream enough for the 11:30 time slot. Since he switched to 11:30pm, I've never liked his show. I sort of feel the same way about Conan. I think he's better suited for the 12:30pm time slot.

They've sure spent alot of money on this experiment! I'd take Craig over both of the others in a NY minute

Jimmy Fallon is better than both of them. He's actually funny!

This has EVERYTHING do to with the lead in to the late news - Conan has suffered because absolutely no one is watching NBC going into the 11:00 hour. I guarantee your local NBC news affiliate has been destroyed by this fiasco as well.

I personally don't think either are particularly entertaining. Leno got to live because he rode the ER / Will and Grace / Las Vegas coattails through the 2000's... He is an unfunny, unoriginal hack that is such a bore that he can't even hire entertaining writers. Conan is a cut above, which isn't saying much

I heard Leno at 11:30pm for a half hour then Conan and Fallon and Midnight and 1am. I think Leno is done even if he goes back to 11:30.
