Conan will never be half the host as Jay. I’ve seen both in action and I can’t imagine O’Brien taking over as host of Tonight show.

I predict a bidding war will break out for the genious of Jay Leno. Conan O’Brien will wish he’d stayed put.

Conan does not do anything funny. all of his show is stupid and silly.How can you take a show with so much class and give it to an idoit like Conan.Jay Leno keeps you laughing and the show is well writing.I wrote a letter to the president of the show telling them big mistake. I truly hope with all my heart that Conan flops.I will go to Letterman now. I can stand him a little better.That’s were most people will be in that time slot now that Jay is gone.

I had watch Johnny Carson for the entire time he was on. When he retired, I made sure I watch his last program with Beth middler. He was great. However, I find that Jay Leno is great in his own way and his own style.I and my family will follow him to any station he goes to. NBC YOU SUCK, Shame on you. p.s. Conan stinks.

It sounds more like NBC is forcing Leno out. Carson held that spot for 30 yrs. until HE retired. Leno has been hosting for 17 yrs. Carson was 66 when he left the show. Leno is only 59. IF IT’S NOT BROKEN DON’T FIX IT!!
I think Leno was the perfect replacement for Carson. I’m glad that they picked Leno over Letterman. I’m no Letterman or O’Brien fan. I’d rather see Craig Ferguson offered the position than O’Brien. If Leno was retiring like Carson that’s different. But it doesn’t sound like it to me. I feel NBC is going to regret this decision! If NBC is going to act this way I hope Leno goes to another network & knocks um dead!! Leno has real CLASS!!!!!

Jay, you are starting to suck! Lay off the McCain-Palin jokes, we’ve had enough. What’s the matter, you don’t have the balls to joke about Obama?
Same BS every night, time for me to watch something else.

I’ve been watching the show since Jack Parr! Carson was best Leno is great! I watched Conan for a while to see if he would improve,he didn’nt, in a word he “sucks” being “silly” does not make you “funny”

Well, here ’tis from an “old” 65 year-old woman, one of those “lefty dorks” mentioned above, who is wildly pro-Obama-Biden and adores Jay! Conan is so ridiculous as to be embarrassing. I keep wondering who finds his mugging, jerks, tweeks, and quirks amusing. Anyone? Not my daughter and son-in-law, who are Republicans and a generation younger, who say they’re through watching the show hen Jay leaves. Leno has clearly been quietly supportive of many, many young performers through the years, as Johnny was him in “the old days.” Jay’s monologues are current, pungent, direct, and yes, often hard-hitting. He’s got great writers/ researchers and is mighty sharp himself. He never says anything critical of his wife – only her cat! And he finds The Dumbest People in America to showcase on Jaywalking so we understand why the wrong folks keep getting elected!

My God, what is with NBC? Jay Leno saved the Tonight Show when Johnny left. Ungrateful jerks.
Conan, one great big yarn!

I’m 23 and watch leno regularly. i can’t imagine why nbc would even be willing to let him go, I absolutely love his monologues and skits. D.M.A. Demographics My Ass… I know plenty of people my age that love Leno too. BTW O Brien is rarely funny, I cant imagine he will mature into an actual comedian by next year.Dont get me wrong I like O Brien but don’t feel he’s the right choice for the chair!

It’s been sixteen years since Johnny? Wow, where’d the time go?

I don’t watch Leno, not my cup of tea.

I like Conan O’Brien, he just might step up to the plate and adjust for the new time zone and earlier audience. He must have grown older these last sixteen years, too.

Yeah, Jon Stewart would be in Johnny Carson’s class, definitely.

How about Jerry Seinfeld?
