What happened on the Tonight Show?
Appearently they got rid of Jay Leno and have let Conan O'Brian take over. What is the deal there and how do you feel about it?

6. I don't think he's very funny at all

never did. He's marginally entertaining, but he will be the death of the Tonight Show. Leno is bad enough for the legacy of Allen, Paar and Carson, but O'Brien is the final nail.

On edit:

I also think it's amazingly stupid to pick a replacement 5 years out. Nobody can determine who will be "hot" or "not" in that time frame. Also, Conan does NOT appeal at all to the traditional Tonight Show audience. I'm also disappointed that another straight white male was picked.

I think any network would be smart to put Ellen Degeneres in latenight.
