The Tonight Show w/ Conan O'Brien

[O]

I've never been a big Conan fan and even less since he took over the Tonight Show.

A month into the show they are already into reruns.
Yeah, I know there is a holiday weekend coming up. But still?

It doesn't mean anything. These guys take breaks. Like you said, its a holiday weekend. I think Conan has done a pretty good job, though I have always been a Conan fan.

Never watch much late night TV but I tivo the Tonight Show now. Jay Leno was awful. Conan is a good upgrade.

Conan is awesome.

I've read that his ratings are down compared to Leno, and that Letterman is actually beating him. (Which basically never happened while Leno was the host.) However, his ratings are crushing Letterman in the 18-30 demo, which is what the advertisers want.

I like Conan (and I'm in that 18-30 demo)

It took Leno about 6 mos. to overcome Letterman. When they first started competing, Letterman was the clear winner. They re-programmed TTS to take advantage of their LA location (compared to Letterman's NY -- more stars in LA), and the ratings bump followed.

I really like his stuff. The stars and interview process is tired, but I'm just sick of celebrity in general.

In the Year 2000/3000, Triumph, and all his other skits are great.
