When I think of late night TV, I think Letterman and Leno. That is my age showing, but that's who I think of. Although Fergusen can be good on occasion.
Conan is obviously the better comedian, but is he the better host for that STYLE of show... I'm not sure. And apparently NBC execs agree with me. When I turn on Leno I want brainless entertainment. That's what late-night should be, at least IMO. If I want to have to use my brain to understand it, yes it is funnier comedy, but at that time of day I have two choices: silly TV or sleep. I don't want "smart" comedy when I'm tired and ready for bed.
Whether it's right or wrong is never a consideration when it comes to money!
