Conan is King. Sorry Dave. Still love you, but unless CoCo's in reruns, I'll be watching him. The show started off a little too grand, but I'm sure it will settle into a comfort zone pretty quickly. Unless LA simply turns vibrant creativity flat, as some people contend. Being on the Universal lot, they will have plenty of Hollywood magic at their disposal.

I was hoping for a new and improved Conan...not...just the same old silliness that lacks the true comic genius of his predecessors. Jay and Johnny had the "it" factor working for them that Conan doesn't project. Guess I'll be watching more Letterman and waiting for Jay's new gig in the Fall.

Very disappointing.I liked his prior show because of its informality.This new endeavor apprars forced.

Still needs work. Conan has a lot of fans, so I'm guessing he must be an acquired taste--I found him to be goofy and a tad uncomfortable with his new surroundings. Not to mention that physical humor is lost on me. I know it's unfair to compare him to Leno, but you can't help it. Leno was much better.

I will finally watch the Tonight Show! Many will miss Jay Leno, but Conan got off to a perfect start! Highly recommended.

If you thought that the debut of the Tonight Show was even remotely funny, you had better cash your sense of humor in for another one.

He's no Johnny Carson, who will always be the Tonight Show's greatest (and whoever says any different is out of their mind) but he beats out Leno (a shill with slight class), and Letterman (an unfunny ass) by a long shot.

I love this show!

Why did NBC destroy the show?

Just not my cup of tea. A little too hard edged for me. Doesn't have the warmth that Leno had. Hate the blue back drop for his monologues. Very cold looking. I'm switching to Letterman and liking it.

Conan moves over the edge and does not take itself so seriously as Leno did. I really love this change.

Its more like a show for children, with the mugging and goofy faces! Look at the age of the people in the stands ! They need a more mature person with sensible and funny jokes..I did not get one laugh and I have a funny bone.. hopefull time will improve , and I will give him this.

I'm a huge fan of Conan. It's true, Late Night was better but he's still the most entertaining out there. I do have a question though...Who actually LIKES Jay Leno? I have yet to meet anyone who enjoys his middle of the road humor..

By far the most entertaining late night talk show and a vast improvement over Leno.

Leno was anything BUT class, all mean, dumb humor. Conan has flair, wit, and he's down to earth. Loved him on Late Night and am rooting for him 24/7 on Tonight. May be a rocky start but he'll find his footing, he has the passion for it.

Dismal, cold and the so-called executives approved this insanity ; are they also running the LA Clippers?

Classic. Funny. Worth staying up for.

It's the same Conan we all remember from Late Night. I have loved the show so far.

Jay Leno was the Tonight Show. Entertainingly funny and a class act. Conan's try at humor is just plain stupidity. Conan's Tonight Show is just rerun of Late Night with Conan O'Brien at 11:30 p.m. Same old Conan and same old band with same old stupid humor. I'll have to find something else to watch at 11:30 p.m.now.

Conan's great, and the Tonight Show, after all these years, has finally been saved.

In the year 3000, the Baltimore Sun, Philadelphia Inquirer, Washington Post, and Hollywood Reporter will look fairly stupid once Conan is named the All-Time King of Late Night.

O'Brien may have moved to La-La Land but he's still a preferred taste...like pickled pig's feet, or poached tripe...and I have no appetitie for either !! I did give him a chance...but he blew it. Still an un-funny dork, who tries too hard. Sure has big shoes to fill...and it isn't going to happen. Sorry Old Boy, but you are out of your league. Maybe he should take lessons from David Letterman...Funny, comfortable in his skin, with inimitable class... All three always missing in Conan O'Brien from the start of his hosting career. But I will give him an E for effort.… Expand

So much more funny than Leno ever was.

I would give it a five because there are various parts of the show where it is just too goofy. it's like in those parts, they try way too hard to be funny. even though i think this show is too silly sometimes, for some reason, i still watch it every now and then to see what he will do next. :) i honestly don't know what to think of this program. sometimes it's funny; but most times, it's not. i keep watching it to see if he will tell funnier jokes or do funnier things without trying so hard, but that hasn't happened yet. i still have faith in him, however. he is still pretty new to the tonight show, but i still believe that he will do his best to do a job well done! … Expand

Honesty, he's not terrible as some people on here would have you believe. When Leno started the same people who praise him now were almost certainly saying, "Not as good as Carson." Give him a chance and some time, and most importantly watch with an open mind.

I do think he's lost something since his hey-day on Late Night with Conan O Brien. I would really like to see the writers take more chances though, and get back to the lunacy that made Late Night so great.

Conan rocks. Jay was way too douchey. Leno was never the tonight show. It was Carson, still is, but Conan will make it his own. As far as class is concerned, wake up, this country hasn't been about class since the O.J. trial. Rea up on how Leno took over the tonight show in the first place and try to say he's a class act. Give me a break. The "it" factor argument is ridiculous, the basis of comedy is pain and discomfort which Conan and Letterman do great at. Leno was too nice to be a good comedian.… Expand

Self-referential without being funny; pretending to being hip and arch, but frankly not very smart for an old Harvard Lampoon star.

Conan is back and better than ever!

His jokes lack any sophistication or great deal of thought. His humor is more physical catering to a younger male crowd (tweens). He is funny for what he does not for what he says and his act is still badly wanting. The focus is always on him; the show is a montage of scenes like "Conan the cow wrestler" or "Conan goes canoeing" and "Conan meets the Barbapapa's." His show is "Dumb and Dumber'er" meets "Jack-Ass". Where is the clever wit and brilliant nuance? Where is the discipline to know when to be the center of attention and when a guest should be? Where is the superbly scripted banter with guests that appears so off the cuff and original? Where are the satirical skits that poke fun at ourselves instead of just at him? They should re-name his show “The Conan O’Brien Show” or “One Hour of C.O.B.” or simply “The Me Show”. No wonder Letterman is enjoying the best ratings since 1998.… Expand

I have been a long-time Conan and Late Night fan. I feel like I have grown up watching him and was so excited to see him taking over The Tonight Show. I think he is doing a great job so far, though it is obvious that they are trying to bring the comedy to a broader audience, which is making the new show feel like a watered-down version of Late Night. I get excited to see the old characters and bits like with Triumph, but the new bits are a little bland. However, I know this is a transition period and I have faith that Conan will make the Tonight Show even funnier than Late Night and much better than the predictable Jay Leno. I know in the long-term Conan will win over a lot of the nay-sayers I see on this site and others if they give him a chance to get in his groove.… Expand

Conan was way better than Jay. Jay can Walk but conan can talk and make guest laugh. This guy is great. Too bad the show got cancelled but he kept the shows integrity which i like
