Tonight show without Jay Leno (new host Conan O'Brien)

jassi · 2nd June 2009, 22:19

After all those years of seeing Jay Leno on the tonight show, there is now a new host Conan O'Brien taking over.
So will the show do well without Jay Leno - was it just the script or did Jay Leno really bring something to the show. OR is this Conan guy way way better than Jay, both on the show and off the show with his car collection

I have added a poll on whether the show was good with Jay or is better now with Conan.

Should have another option - 'does not matter'

Tonight show with Leno was one of the best shows ever.

Late night with Conan sucks, he isn't funny, his monologue is just a way to use up 60 minutes. I don't know how it was on the air for so long.

Everyone is using the same lame technique including Jimmy kimmel

Monologue+some videos+celebs advertising their movie/show = Hit Show

Jay Leno was the show and the fans are going to go to his new show that is coming.

I just saw the tonight show on zee cafe - conan sucks!!! he may get better with time, but i don't think he can get anywhere close to Jay

Yeah, Conan sucks royally! But the poll should also have had Johnny Carson, he was the best, though I did like Jay Leno too.

Waiting for Jay to come back in September with his own show now !

Jay Leno is the best, he is a genuine comedian and is a natural. Conan is a very poor replacement.

What the hell is Balika Vadhu?

Conan o Brien reminds me of Jim Carey. He has make stupid faces in order to be funny. Jay Leno was a natural, his speaking style was just awesome.

Ultimately its the scriptwriters and the jokewriters that will make the show a hit but IMO Conan is a poor replacement.

I too saw the show with Conan on tv last nite & it was not funny at all. The only guy one saw laughing was Conan himself.

Poor replacement for Jay.
Now waiting for Jay Leno to return to TV with another show.

Jay Leno has taste... check out his legacy according to him.

YouTube - Jay Leno - The Final Curtain ( the Tonight Show 29.05.2009)

I wonder how our desi JaY Leno - Shekhar Suman would fare. I think he would be a good replacement.

Mpower · 3rd June 2009, 08:29

I'd like to see Jay do an american version of Top Gear. He likes cars anyways.

vinaydas · 3rd June 2009, 08:39

conan is someone who's comedy will probably grow on you.It was not that bad actually.His reminds me of jim carrey in his early days

yes agreed Jay was a legend in his own way.But thats what the tonight show has being doing.
I would say give conan some time he wont disappoint us.
Jay Leno is coming up with a show of his own actually.I do agree im a big fan of leno and his cars Especially that special Mclaren F1!!

Shekar Suman on Tonights show!! YUKK! i hate that chap.well cyrus wont do that bad.But a big NO for shekar.
