      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.

      Oh, come on guys. I theenk we all know that Jay Leno is the best man on television...

      ...for me to POOP ON! Ohhh yesss! I keed! I keed!

      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.
