i've a split opinion on Conan. while i really enjoy most of his pre-recorded bits, his live stuff i don't like at all. i never laugh at his monologues and i get very bored at how much time he kills just dancing around and trying to play up the crowd. his interviews are also hit and miss, really depends on the guest
The Daily Show and Colbert Report though cram a lot more content into half the time, and even when they have boring guests Jon Stewart and Stephen Colbert can carry an interview by themselves if need be. i always thought Conan would be a lot better if he broke away from the standard talk show format and just did whatever he wanted, though going to the Tonight Show it looks like it'll have to adhere even more to the standard
