    hes very funny. His writing is good, he has a great sense of humor & good delivery. Like Johnny Carson did, can turn something not funny into funny.

        Funniest monologues for Late Night... in order.

        1- Jimmy Kimmel (love him, he's hilarious)

        2- Conan (he is funny, but always the same act. he's too predictable)

        3- Leno- (he has a good monologue).

        4- Letterman (used to be great. .now is getting old)

        5- Fallon (how the hell did he end up with this gig)

        6- Craig Ferguson.. (boring as hell)

        7- Carson Daly (get rid of this guy.. he shouldn't even be on tv)

            The thing that strikes me about Ferguson is that he seems to always have a good time, and genuinely likes what he is doing. He also is a very good interviewer.

              as bad as Conan may be in your eyes, Leno is far, far worse. There is nothing remotely funny about the guy

              100% agree!!! I can't stand watching Leno, not funny at all. I would say that Letterman and Craig Ferguson are the best

                I wish I was as unfunny as he is making what he is.

                  That new book on the late night wars claims that Conan was a writer that everyone wanted. He had a big picture deal that he turned down to become a host.

                      agreed - you know you are living in a great country when someone as corny as conan can make millions.

                              Leno
                              Does Carson Daly even count?

                                I like Leno's opening act on current events/jokes
                                Letterman sucks but I like his interviewing better
                                Conan is the best overall, quirky funny, makes fun of himself and I agree he was funnier before when he was a late night nobody.

                                  Totally agree. I couldn't wait for his new show to start. Let him get into his groove. He's Funny!!!!

                                    I gotta say his new show has been bad. He hasn't been funny like he was years ago before he got the Tonight Show.

                                    He needs to go out to the streets more and do hands on things.

                                      he was awesome late 90's early 2000's and slowly got worse after andy left. his skits outside of the studio are usually pretty funny. you should check out his trip to the vineyard lol http://v.youku.com/v_show/id_XNzYzNTYwMTY=.html also his 5 year anniversary is incredibly funny

                                          I guess I outgrew him. That's what I'm realizing after his latest comeback. I tried hard to like him on the Tonight Show but it was bad and now that he's on TBS it's worse.

                                          He needs to drop the monologue and do more skits.

                                            The vineyard one is one of the best. The one where he plays old school baseball is awesome, too.

                                              My opinion is he still is OK. Not what he once was though.

                                                If you don't like Conan then mind your own business. Otherwise you are curious to know why he's funny because your not smart enough to get him.

                                                    his skits outside of the studio are usually pretty funny

                                                    I don't know if it's on youtube, but he went to shoot guns and drink booze at Hunter S. Thompsons house. Shit was hilarious.

                                                        Conan is for the people who don't find Jay Leno to be even remotely funny, AKA the folks with an IQ above room temperature.

His improvised skits are always the best. The rare occasion dopes like Leno say something remotely funny, it is when he is reading something off a cue card that someone else wrote.
