    Conan

    Thoughts?

    I've watched him some over the years. He's just too silly for my taste and after watching him Monday night I just can't see how this thing will last. It caters to a totally different crowd.

    Side note: Did anybody see Will Ferrell on "Man vs. Wild"?

    Silly is what came to my mind also when I watched Tuesday night's.
    Are we further dumbing down to the audience?

    Yes, the "Jay Walking" audience that is now such a large portion of the voting mass.

    I watched it last night; I enjoyed it. I'm not a regular Man vs. Wild viewer (have watched a handful of episodes on occasion), but I enjoyed the change of pace...

    I MUCH prefer Conan's silliness and completely random humor over Jay's cheesy and extremely not funny monologues.

    It's probably a generational thing.

    I completely agree. I have been watching Conan for years and was worried that he would conform his style to fit the older crowd. It looks like it is gonna be a little less silly than "Late Night" but still better than Leno. He just can't do the crude, immature jokes anymore which kinda disappoints me.

    I loved Jay and I like Conan too. They are VERY different though.

    Never was a Conan fan. He is very hit or miss to me. I find some of his bits hilarious, or they dont even make me crack a smile. I dont know, he just isnt as consisently funny as Jay, IMO.

    Personally Conan has always been my favorite followed closely by Jay. Carson Daly and Letterman are the worst. I heard a lot of people complain about Conans first tonight show but I thought it was great.

    Craig Ferguson is pretty funny too, in a "wow the guy from Drew Carey is actually pretty funny" kinda way.

    I absolutely do not understand the Letterman obsession. I dont think he is funny at all. His Top Ten's could be funny and a good idea, but they are usually crappy.
