Do you think Conan O'Brien is the best choice for the Tonight Show? email this discussion to a friend?

Leno leaves in 09 and then Conan O'Brien will take over. I have to say, I do love Conan O'brien, he is my favorite talk show host (besides John Stewart) but honestly I don't think he could really do it. I mean, his fan base is much younger adults (like 16-35) while Jay Leno is a bit more "sophisticated" (for lack of better word) I don't think he has the kind of personality that many Tonight Show audiences are looking for.

You're right, Conan has a younger fan base. But I think that's what the Tonight Show actually needs, it has become stale these past couple of years. Conan will actually provide a refreshing air to it. Conan is better than Jon Stewart and Letterman combined.

Well I certainly agree that the Tonight Show does not belong to David Letterman. At one point it did, but not anymore.

Oh gosh no I don't think he is. I really can't stand Conan and love Leno but I will probably stop watching once he leaves which really sucks because I really enjoy it.

I don't like Conan O'Brian. I would much rather watch Jay Leno. But, I don't watch the Tonight Show very often so it really won't bother me. I don't think the show would be the same without Leno tho.

You know that's a tough call. I am not sure he is right for it- but then I never liked the route it took after Johnny Carson left. It was too "dumbed down" I used to always watch the Tonight show - and i couldn't stand Letterman (this was a a kid and young adult) as I got older and they switched from Carson to Leno (and I have nothing against Leno) I think the show just became to idiotic for me to watch,I started to prefer Letterman. Conan is like Leno too- in that, some of the things they did on that show bugged me- but he did make me laugh- mainly because he laughed at himself.
But what I am really Looking forward to is Jimmy Fallon taking over Conan's Show - I think Jimmy Fallon is great and I can't wait to see what he does with the show.
