Leno rocks. I can't wait for the new show. As for Conan, he's okay but no Jay Leno. I do like how the Conan version of The Tonight Show has retained the basic format of monologue, guests, music though.

Can't wait for Leno at 10!
Conan is a plastic-y freak! -- Angus McGill
It is like going from a Ferrari(Leno) to a motor scooter (Conan). Conan is a total bore. Will only succeed if enough weirdos can be rounded up to watch it, witch is doudtful.

I watched the first Tonight Show with Conan O'Brien and was not impressed at all. I already miss Jay. I am glad to know that Jay will be back and having it at an earlier time is great! I can't wait for the big day!

Yes I plan to watch Jay Leno's new show and can't wait for it to start in September. I do not think that Jay Leno should have been replaced since in my humble opinion he was great! I have watched Conan and have not been impressed.

Will we watch Jay's new show? YES!!! We can't wait! And, so glad Kevin will be back, too - great dynamic between the two of them. Conan is still grape juice - he might mature into a fine wine one day, but we're not sticking around to find out.

No comparing them, Jeno is way better.

I love Jay Leno and I love Conan! I don't know why people are so offensive against Conan, it's not like he took Leno's spot...he decided to leave. Both of these guys are hilarious and I am going to enjoy watching them!!
