I don't think Leno is funny in the least.

Johnny re-runs would probably get higher ratings.

I don't think either of them are particularly funny, I'm betting that this will be the beginning of the ultimate decline and death of the late night talk show. Honestly they're all pretty boring and repetitive. The format was fine when Johnny Carson was hosting because there wasn't much else to compare it to, now almost 2 decades on since he left and the format hasn't really evolved? Meh.

If I'm going to watch late night TV it'll be something that's actually entertaining and somewhat relevant to current events like The Daily Show and The Cobert Report.

As long as they promise not to bring Arsenio back. ;)

Were I in charge at NBC, I'd try to steal Craig from CBS, and to hell with both Conan and Jay. I never liked Conan's soph-moronic humor, but he has handled this situation with some class. As for Leno - well, late-night TV hasn't seen such a primadonna since Jack Paar.

Yeah, neither...the only really funny late night guy these days is Craig Ferguson...everyone else sucks...

Not sure if evolving is what late night needs. The nightly news hasn't evolved much and it still gets ratings as well as the local news. Talk shows don't need to evolve to survive. What can it evolve into?

I could deal with that. Craig is funny!

I used to like Leno for his somewhat corny comedy and "Headlines", but now I believe that his ego is the reason that Conan is about to be jobless. Someone please prove me wrong, but I'm going to boycott The Tonight Show after Conan's last performance. I am not a Letterman fan at all, but I'd rather watch him than a backstabber (or should I say Chinstabber).

Letterman all the way. :tu

Tonight is the final episode of "The Tonight Show" with Conan O'Brien.:(
I have a feeling that it's gonna be good.:tu

I’m not a fan of either of them, but find Leno more tolerable than Coco.

It sure is set to record on my DVR!

Fox has already extended and invitation to Coco. If he goes there, he can get back to doing the more edgy stuff he did on Late Night.

Loved Johnny.

Still Love Conan (worst decision NBC has made)

IMO Letterman totally SUCKS. So does his little cronie Paul.

I think Leno sucks because he has terrible writers (unless he is writing his own stuff, which I doubt). He himself is somewhat funny but his jokes stink.

I hope so. I miss him on "Late Night". "The Tonight Show" is basically the same stuff, but less edgy.

I side with Conan. He's funny on air, and he's a good writer. (He used to write for the Simpsons.) Leno couldn't write a good joke if you put a gun to his head.

He can't tell anyone else's jokes and make them funny either. He is incredibly lame.
