Conan Gets The Tonight Show in 2009

[Dingo Jellybean]

If anything, they should get rid of Craig Kilborn. Jimmy Kimmel is okay...but he's trying to compete with Leno and Letterman, and when you compete with the two L's...you're bound to get a 3rd L, which is a loss. The JK show should die within this season.

Craig Kilborn show is the most awful latenight show ever, even worst than Carson Daly's. But Carson is on at 1:35, so I'm not too concerned about him.

[Shlup]

Of copurse not. Carson Daily will be working at McDonald's in five years. His career is basically in the crapper already.

Well, more so than it was before.

That was my first thought too. They interviewed him and he was all excited, and I was just laughing to myself that he thought his show would last that long. It's so boring.

"Conan, it's yours. See you in five years, buddy."

Very classy of him I'm happy for Conan, but I'm really surprised that he's been so snippy about not having Leno's time slot.

Also, Jimmy Kimmel is a massive jackass.

Conan tries too hard to be goofy all the time. His show is pretty good but when he acts like a dork he overdoes it way too much. Doesn't matter though because I prefer Letterman to either of those guys, and I don't watch much late night TV anymore anyway. I hope Dave sticks around forever. He can find humor in anything.

I liked Kilborn the best but I don't think he's on anymore. His humor was dry and high brow, which you didn't see much of on TV these days.

That's because humor like that isn't funny. At least to the general public. You're the first to actually like Kilborn...the only one that I know of.

But yeah, Conan tries too hard sometimes...but he's the only one who can make it funny.

And thus another villain emerges from the shadows with one goal: Destroy Super Delete.

[Del Murder]

Of course it's relative what's funny and what isn't. Plenty of people like Conan, so obviously his antics are amusing to many. I'd just rather watch Craig do 5 Questions than see Conan do some fake nerd laugh that he's already done a million times...on that night's show.

I love Conan at his best, but I doubt the Tonight Show will bring that out. Who knows. The Stanley Steamer line is hilarious though.

[Yamaneko]

Leno and Kilborn are/were classy. Letterman is a sad old man. I've gained some respect for Conan over the years, so I wouldn't mind seeing him take over for Leno.

EDIT: Let's not forget Carson Daly and Jimmy Kimmel, guys!

and Charlie Rose

[Mikztsu]

Conan > all

[jrgen]

I don't find Conan entertaining at all.
He's boring and annoying.
Jay Leno isn't the best either, but I can stand him.

[Ancient Goddess]

Leno and Kilborn are/were classy. Letterman is a sad old man.

I totally agree on that one. Letterman is not even close to being funny. He's just corny, in my opinion. I have no clue why people like him so much.

[Del Murder]

I love corny. Letterman is subtle and doesn't care and that's what I like.
