Conan O'Brien has a strike diary

Just because Jay Leno doesn't appeal to the internet intellectuals, doesn't mean he's lame or pathetic. And Paul; are you going to get all riled up and pissy every time somebody disagrees with or insults you? If you're trying to seem cool about it, the best thing to do is just leave it alone.

Btw yeah Leno is quite lame but his monologue can be funny (considering how he is a stand-up comedian). His interviews do suck though but then again he's not built for this.

I watched old Leno on Letterman clips a while back and he was hilarious whenever he came on. Very sharp observations and really quick thinking...wonder what happened to that guy...

Man I really love Conan. Ever since his show has come back it has been hilarious...he is definitely the best late-night host right now...he is so quick on his feet. The zipline and the maze have me in stitches. I wonder what else they are cooking up.

I can't disagree more I have never found Letterman funny at all, he was a C level Stand-up comedian at best, his jokes are lame even with writers the only funny segment he has ever had was the top ten list.
Leno on the other hand was a top 5 Stand-up comedian during his time.

Also unlike Letterman he doesn't suck up to celebrities.

I never understood the appeal of Letterman.
I am sick and tired of all this Letterman Nutt-hugging..

Jay Leno's tonight show is not funny to me, and never has been. He seems like a good, hardworking comedian, stuck trying to please a demographic, not an audience. Go watch the Inside the Actor's Studio episode he did. I think you will respect the man as a performer, even if you don't like the show. Or at least that is how it made me feel.

As for Conan, I think he looks a little desperate in the bits of the show I have seen, but that really has been his thing forever anyway. I respect that guys like him, John Stewart, and Stephen Colbert are doing there jobs, but still making sure they do what they can to support the writers. I wish there was a way to watch the shows to support them, but also punish the corporations to push them back to the table.

I've never been a huge fan of Conan's show, but damn, this diary was hilarious. I was laughing so hard I scared the cat.

Jay Leno is funny, however, on his show he tries way to hard. Reminds me of old comedy where the comedian says the cheesy punch line and then waits for laughter and applause.

Conan's show has always been better than Leno's

The only thing I like about Jay Leno is his cars.

Yup, I sure got burned. No one has ever called me a has been before and that sure hits home seeing as how being on a basic cable game show for two season was the crowning acheivement of my life. It sure does burn when anonymous commenters ironically named "SilentGuy" take cheap shots. I guess I deserve to get burned for insulting a class act like Jay Leno. Thank goodness, SilentGuy is around to pick up the mantle dropped by Helen Kushnick and defend Mr. Leno as I'm sure he was deeply wounded by my comments.

Conan didn't win the Outstanding Writing Emmy last year, his staff did. Sure, he's part of that staff but let's not be so quick to write off the people behind the scenes even though they're on strike.
