With the replacement of Jay Leno with this idiot Conan, the transition to mindless, stupid, cornball humor is complete. We are at a historic low here, folks!

I never thought this babbling boob Conan was the least bit funny. His "humor" is offensive because it is so stupid. I won't be watching the show, absolutely not. The cry should've been "ANYBODY BUT CONAN!"

Good lord, I tried to watch, but I couldn't get past that GIANT HEAD! I've never seen anyone with a head that gigantic. He looks like a human bobble head doll!

This passing of the The Tonight Show torch is a moment that ages us all. It's like who was the US President when you were born and how many have been there since (A person who lives to 80 sees an average of 15 different US presidents in office during their lifetime)

Who was the host of The Tonight Show and how many have been there since? (I would venture a guess that a person living to 80 sees an average of 5 Tonight Show hosts in their lifetime?)

I watched the first 25 minutes of Conan's premier show and had to turn it off. It started off lame and continued downhill from there. It was nothing new, same ol Conan with the same old stale format in NYC that I stopped watching years ago. I was hoping something new and re-freshing would develop, but it's the same old crap and now it's going to be another NBC failure.

Well have fun with Letterman then.

I never understood the appeal of these types of shows. Why not watch something creative instead?

Jay has always been funny to me and Conan is okay at times, but most of the time I don't find him funny at all so I won't be watching from now on.

I'm furious that Leno was moved to 10 PM so they don't have to spend money on dramas.

He is not Leno but he is not THAT bad. NBC wants a younger audience and they figure Conan will deliver that for them and he probably will.

Leno stole his best bits from Howard Stern. He always wanted to attract Howard's market and even stole John "The Stutterer" Melendez from him, hoping to pick up some of his market. Poor John...wtf is that guy gonna do now????
Leno made a goof with that pick. John did not do anything for the show. Usually the only time you saw him was when they read his name at the start. The old announcer (forgot the name) was much more "into it" than Melendez.
