Well, not for good. He's getting The Tonight Show June 2.

HOWEVER, this is an interesting week to watch the show. Intersting mix of guests, lots of nostaliga, and his trademark wit.

16 years of being after The Tonight Show.

The man definitely deserves Leno spot now.

I have a question about all of this though: is the Max Weinberg 7 coming with him to the tonight show?

I used to like Conan, I really did. But after the past 2 years I have grown extremely tired of his humor, and his horrible sketches. The only characters I ever laughed at was Joel the announcer, and the masturbating bear. Now when I first heard he was getting the Tonight Show gig I was stoked, as I was just as tired of Jay Leno as I am of Conan now. But now that it's been a while, I really wish they would just find someone else.

On a side note, is Jimmy Fallon really taking Conan's place? Are you mother fucking kidding me? That infuriates me to no end and it causes me massive grief. I guess I'll just watch Craig Ferguson.

But really, late night TV has been on the down slope for a while, and I actually hope Conan's humor will carry over well, and maybe just mature a little bit.

Yes, Jimmy Fallon is taking Conan's place. That should never have happened.

Conan is the reason why I torture myself through Leno.

Conan's problem is that he overdoes it a lot. He's got a lot of good jokes, but he can't let a punch line be there, and just tosses out too many goofy faces and post-script corniness.

On that subject, I want to see Steven Wright have a late-night show. The awkwardness would be way too funny.

Agreed, I've never been a huge fan (although I don't mind him.) The "feud" he had with Jon Stewart and Stephen Colbert really won me over though. I hope he does well, and has a great run.

Fallon, on the other hand, needs to be stopped before he does something we ALL regret.

I'm not sure about this whole deal. I love Conan just as much as the next guy. But I'm just not sure his brand of humor is going to go over as well with the wider audience the Tonight Show.
