      I agree with you. I don't buy Jay Leno and his statement or thoughts, whatever you want to call it, that he and Conan O'Brien were screwed by <a title="Leno and Conan: Leno claims they both got screwed" href="http://personalmoneystore.com/moneyblog/2010/04/01/leno-conan-leno-claims-screwed/">NBC</a>. Leno agreed to letting Conan take over, and it isn't as if he needed a small personal loan all of a sudden to maintain his cars. For one, Leno agreed to let Conan take over The Tonight Show – he agreed to it, and it happened. He should have kept to his word. Second,if his show was struggling, maybe that was due to it being lame. There was an agreement in destination so the same succession fights wouldn't come about similar to the Leno/Letterman situation when Carson decided to retire.

      Conan is a great comic and writer. From SNL to The Simpsons to Late Night and twice as host of The Emmy Awards. He will do so great taking over The Tonight Show in 2009. He's got everything Leno has: sarcasm, a gentleman, and very funny. Conan O'Brien is a genius.

      Absolutely amazing conversation...Jay Leno once said some comedians got the attitude, and others the joke...Conan is a genius when it comes to having them both. Not only inspiring, but also indicative that nothing worth having comes without hard work, sacrifice, and little risk. Obviously I'm biased...I'm a huge fan!

      Conan loves Lost, 24, and House. I love him even more now, the man has good taste, and is probably in my opinion the funniest man in America. Go Conan.
