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.

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
