I still don't believe that Conan can pull off the Late Show.  I like Conans show but I just can't see Conan filling Leno's shoes.  Even if Conan does get the Late Show I can't imagine myself staying up late to watch Jimmy Fallon.  I never thought he was funny on SNL and after seeing him in those annoying Pepsi ads I can't stand him.

Jimmy Fallon is not funny.  He's also a homosexual.

jimmy fallon sucks, not funny at all.  i'm gonna get bashed for this but i'd like to see tom green back on the air.  he's got a web TV show now that's more like the "new" tom green show that came out a few years back.

The contract is signed for 2009. If Jimmy Fallon seriously does end up in Conan's spot, I can only hope and pray that it goes the way of Chevy Chase's attempt.

So let's say this is how it goes after Conan goes to the Tonight Show Late Night with John StewartThe Daily Show with Steven Colbert?

I do not find Conan very funny.  Its all schtick comedy.  I dont think he can pull off the Tonight Show and it will suck like his show now does.  I do like Jon Stewart though and he would actually be better than Conan.  Letterman is my show anyway so I wont be switching back and forth anymore.

ugh.between fallon and the scottish guy that comes on after letterman(no replacement announced still) conan is going to get everyone, and then hopefully all the rubes will turn their tv of in protest of the awfulness that is fallon.

It's because it gets invaded on a semi-regular basis by people from the internet who mess with him, <a href="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5mlZydYteF8&mode=related&search=">and then he melts down.</a> I hate to say it but he was at his peak when he was sucking off farm animals. And I don't think they'll let him do that on late night tv.

in an odd twist of fate, Jimmy Fallon is on Conan right now doing the "In the year 2000 sketch" ...no announcement though

I'm not a big fan of late night talk shows and I'm certainly not a big fan of hers, but I could see Ellen doing a late night show.  They definitely couldn't find anyone worse than Fallon.

Conan is a strong entertainer.  He could change his act and become the 'try to please everyone' host that Jay Leno is today.  I think he could be totally different once he gets off his current set.

Replace one unfunny talk show host with another one!Thank You!  Conan is by far the best compared to Leno and Letterman.  Leno wishes he could be as funny as Conan.  But I do hope the move doesn't turn Conan to a "suck-up" like Leno is.  That's my only worry.
