And Conan Is the Winner

I have never been a fan of Leno and I never really got into Conan. Letterman is my host to watch. But watching Conan the past two evenings as he ended his shortened stint on The Tonight Show I was impressed. He comes away as the winner of the Tonight Show Wars. He was a class act last night even as he shredded NBC the night before. Leno ends the whole thing appearing selfish and arrogant. He gets his show back, unwilling to go do something new and different.

Conan simply had fun. Pee Wee Herman, Ben Stiller, Robin Williams, Will Ferrell, Tom Hanks, and Neil Young gave a great line-up. Conan laughed and jumped, and played his old tricks. more a postModern Letterman than a Jay Leno. He choked up when thanking the audience.

He's young and a class act. He comes out the winner.
