i've always thought conan o'brien was not funny, & acts like a douche bag. granted, he only took over for leno this week, but i think he's lame. by the audience's response to his style of comedy only backs up my feelings. i'll give him a chance, but his writer team needs to study up on past carson & leno re-runs.

Maybe he's a reflection of the current state in the USA, quite possibly a nation of dummies. A fake look, smile, and laugh and a cued audience so all the dummies can laugh. Maybe that's why were in trouble too.

Welcome to the USSA! One Nanny State Under the Messiah, Indivisible with Tyranny, Higher Taxes, Socialism, Radical Environmentalism and a Loss of Income for all. Boy I'm proud to be a part of the USSA, what can I do to raise taxes, oh boy oh boy!

I have not seen Conan's act in quite some time but I think he will do okay.

Real comedy is found right here on WIX. P-38's on poles, Homeland Security Skyraiders and other good stuff.

I think it may be a *ahem* generational thing. (I dont know how old you folks are, but this is my theory...)

I am 26 and grew up watching The Simpsons for my entire life For many years Conan was a writer on that show. Personally I "get" his sense of humor, however I can see how the traditional Leno audience may not understand it.

Conan's style is very different than Jay's.

I think people in my age range are more receptive to Conan and I would speculate that NBC was shooting for a larger cut of the 20 or 30 something demographic

i think TAdan nailed it. Conan has a way different style than Jay did. It's more along the lines of the humor the younger generation gets. I'm 33 and love it. I also love that I get a chance to see him more with the earlier time and hopefully when Jay comes back later this year his fans will enjoy his earlier time as well.

Definetly a more Generation X type of comedy. I am 41 and like Connan O'Brien.

Remember, when David Letterman first came on, nobody got it but look at him now.
