How did that obnoxious, stoopid, miss-the-mark gas bag ever MAKE it TO televison? Everyone had a Conan in high school and hated him. You know the one...the dorky, no filtering kind of smart aleck that pissed on himself around girls. The high-water, spaz who made you throw up in your mouth every time he opened his iditotic and disgusting trap. That's Conan O'Brien. I don't expect him to 'make it' as heir to the Carson/Leno throne. I predict he'll be booted after his first contract expires. God, he sucks!

At least Conan has hosting experience and has some humor. Basically Conan is just laterally moving to another show if you want to use a corp. term. Jimmy on the other hand has no proven hosting experience aside from sketch comedy stuff. I believe the internet try out "if you will" is sort of there way of putting the training wheels on Jimmy to see if he can hang in the late night world. They havent said anything but i bet that if ratings are low and response is terrible to his online test that i wouldnt be a surprise to see Jimmy removed from the late night position. But thats my take on it. Im pretty sure im correct though Jimmy Fallon will bomb however i believe Conan will be fine. At least Conan has hosting experience and has some humor.

He's either a complete moron or... scratch that.. he's a complete moron. Conan is a Harvard grad. It is entirely impossible that Jimmy Fallon will do anything with Late Night other than drive it into the ground, quickly. Let me reiterate. Conan is a very intelligent man. Jimmy Fallon is a damned retard.. a goddamned retard. I hate him and wish him a painful and slow death, provided that the early stages of this slow death happen very, very soon.

I think He'll actually give the young and middle age generation a reason to stay up past the 11 o'clock news. Leno and Letterman used to be great, but Let's face it, they're boring. Our ADD ridden society needs a fast thinker, someone who can pull a hilarious, ridiculous joke out of their ass (just for the sake of keeping us interested). Leno and Letterman have lost their enthusiasm, maybe because they've already conquered the territory of Late Night. You can almost see their team of writers composing every word. Conan will be huge.

She is a great comedian and talk show host and is edgy like conan. I always thought Jimmy Fallon sucked, now I see I wasnt alone!! Conan will do good on leno, keep in mind his fan base will follow him and make up for the old baby boomer and yuppie Leno fans who will be scared of him and his AWESOME antics. i personally THINK eLLEN dEGENERES would be a good replacement for CONAN.

I am worried though, that the Tonight Show won't be a good fit for him. That audience won't be satisfied with him, and NBC will make him water it down, so his old fans won't be satisfied. I really hope he doesn't tank. I'm kind of indifferent about Jimmy Fallon, and actually, I used to like him. I don't know how he'll actually do with a whole show to himself, but it probably won't be good. That being said, I am SO GLAD NBC didn't move Carson Daly to that time slot. Carson was okay with TRL 10 years ago, but he positively sucks when it comes to late night television. My coffee table has more personality than he does. I have no idea why he even has a show. Kimmel would have been nice, or whoever mentioned Joel McHale--that would have been awesome! Love that guy. Or Mo Rocca? First, I LOVE Conan, and I’m glad he has so many defenders here.

I could only imagine watching him do Barry Gibb Talk Show with J.T. on his first show (much like the Chevy Piano/Basketball Shooting portion of the show). I dig Conan, and Leno has always been a bore to me. Why can't we just get Craig Kilborn back to T.V. to take that Conan time slot. Get him out of the horrible movies he's tried to make, and put him back in the host chair where he belongs! I don’t hate Fallon, but he was my least favorite on SNL over the years.

He has a great team of writers, but his monologues are completely uninspired. Which brings me to Ferguson. Ferguson has the best monologues in late night, almost always thought provoking and hilarious. This is probably one of my favorite late night moments of all time... http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7bbaRyDLMvA Oh, and yeah, Fallon can eat my balls.
