I do not like the decision because NBC is letting Conan take over the Tonight Show.

Wow, way too much Conan-bashing going on here. Conan is by far the best late night host. Conan is actually funny, he doesn't need to rely on "headlines" or "Jay-walking" to be humorous.

 what do you expect on a JAY LENO forum?? They both have different types of humor, and imo Conan's is retarded. And headlines is only on once a week and jaywalking, maybe every other week. And if headlines are so lame, how come i happened to see "The great" Conan doing his own lame version of headlines?? Except if i remember correctly, his are fake!

I personally can't wait until 2009.  Conan is much better. Jay isn't funny at all.  I think he relys on other people to make it funny, if you watch his monologue the only part that is funny is when Kevin makes fun of his jokes.

umm, i don't think so. Kevin will only make fun of like 2 or 3 jokes a week. Jay and Conan are really different, it just depends on the style you like.

Entertaining the audience.
Isn't that the whole point?

well you know they're both funny, they wouldn't be on tv if they weren't funny. I'll admit Conan and Jay were pretty good on Friday night, they both had me laughing. Both of them are good...but i just like Leno's style better.

It is the whole point but no one seems to be talking about how when Conan tells a joke that's unfunny he always does something crazy and brings the audience into it just to get a laugh but when Jay does it people come here or the LNWCB fan board to complain

I've seen some say that Jay is no good but they always can never explain to me why his ratings have increased far higher than any of the other talk show hosts.  

 Conan will not appeal to the crowd that tunes in generally after the news goes off.  He makes the audience do retarded things to make him seem funny.  He is not funny with his words only but his repetitive actions and frequent reliance on the audience to make him seem funny, there is a huge difference. 

Most of the older crowd I have talked to have told me they will not watch the new host because they have seen Conan in action and were repulsed and I can't say that I blame them.

it's funny because at first I like Conan way better than Leno and now it's just the opposite.

It seems like Conan does more of his opinion than jokes. If I want opinions forced on me I will watch ABC or CBS

Conan's jokes are fine, but then he'll do some stupid little dance or something, and that just ruins it
