So then the attempt by Leno to move into prime time. I read an article saying that he will get all the best guests as a result. Will that translate into ratings?
I know that I start to tune out these shows when the interviews become too predictable. This is something Conan is guilty of. He reads off his cards so that the guest can talk about pre-arranged stories or jokes.
