I watched my last Tonight Show on Friday night. I have been a huge fan of the show for 30 years and am one of Jay Leno's biggest fans. Jay (and Johnny Carson before him) have been there for me through countless nights of insomnia. So, you can bet I'll be watching at 10 when Leno returns in September.
While I never say never, I can't see myself ever purposely tuning in to watch Conan. I've given him many opportunities over the years to entertain me and he just never has. He reminds me of a 15-year-old class clown.... goofy, sophomoric and just plain boring most of the time. My husband couldn't disagree more. He thinks Conan is hilarious. (Other than this serious flaw, Ralph's quite a good guy, just for the record.)
