What about Craig Ferguson, whose show is on just after Letterman, who can be quite amusing and, when he actually has authors on his show, asks questions as though he really read the book!
JohnM is so right about Jay Leno. He was very funny back in the days when he'd guest on David Letterman's funny Late Night show on NBC. The two of them brought out the best in each other comedically, but now both men seem lame to me. Maybe the nightly grind of doing comedy is one of those things that can only be done for a time, and doesn't really work for a lifetime career of approximately 5 nights a week?

I think Conan is an acquired taste, Hollis. And I also think he is quite popular with the 18 - 35 year-old male demographic.
I'm not hugely fond of him. I'll take Jon Stewart (my idol), Steve Colbert or David Letterman before Conan any day. But I know alot of folks - particularly guys in the age-group I mentioned, who really like him.
One thing I will say about Conan. His show created my all-time favorite puppet character - Triumph, the Insult Comic Dog.
I LOVE Triumph!!!
I mean, I really, really LOVE Triumph! I even purchased Triumph's DVD.
FOR ME TO POOP ON!!!!

Well, I'm a 41 year old woman, and I LOVE Conan O'Brien and his show. I like his self-deprecating sense of humor and general silliness.
I like the Daily Show with John Stewart. I like Letterman better than Leno, although I do like Leno's Headlines bit. Jay Leno is obnoxious when he has a female guest on--he practically drools in their laps.
