I've tried watching him, but the best rating I can give is "irritating". His bits are always too long, sucking any potential humor out of a "cheaply produced" sketch. His habit of "acting out" punchlines is pointless. It's just another method of dragging out a vain attempt at comedy. When he does this with his guests, it's not only irriatating, but, many times, insulting. He's ruined the comedy tradition of the Tonight Show.
Andy Richter probably has the best job in the world - upstaging Conan. What could be any easier than that? Regardless of Andy's comic talent, or lack thereof, the banter between him and Conan makes Conan temporarily palitable.
Not only do I get more sleep now, but I save on electricity. For the past thirty years I've gone to sleep with the TV on. Now, there's no point.

Conan is a fairly good entertainer, but I just can't stand him for long periods of time. His show (really all talk shows) is only interesting when a good guest is on. While I will watch Late Night if nothing else is on, I usually change the channel. He relies on the same basic jokes, and his routine is pretty much the same every night. I was impressed when he played guitar at a night club; he's not bad. Overall he is fine. Its hard to do what he does every single night and still be funny. Not my favorite TV personality but still a solid host.

Conan O'Brien was born Conan Christopher O'Brien on April 18, 1963 in Brookline, Massachusetts. He grew up with 5 siblings: Neal(born 1960) who is a car collector, Luke (born 1962) who is a lawyer, Kate(born 1964) who is a school teacher, Jane(born 1967) who is a writer, and Justin(born 1972) who is a consultant. I love tuning in to Conan's talk-show because he is so funny, in my opinion. On January 12, 2002 he married Liz Powel at St. James Cathedral in Liz's hometown. they have two children: a daughter Neve, born October 14, 2003 and a son, Beckett(born November 9, 2005. In my opinion, he is one of the funniest talk-show hosts.

Conan is absolutely HILARIOUS! I love the show, it's great! I can't wait until he takes over for Leno.
The only problem is the frequent (and long... and random) holidays this guy takes. Not to mention how they tend to reuse sketches...

Conan is absolutely HILARIOUS! I love the show, it's great! I can't wait until he takes over for Leno.
The only problem is the frequent (and long... and random) holidays this guy takes. Not to mention how they tend to reuse sketches very close together, but otherwise it's good.
There are a few sketches that they could do without though, such as actual items and celebrity survey, but they are good for the most part.
This show is great, Conan is great and I hope he makes the Tonight Show funny again. Definately one of my all time favourites, a great writer and comedian!

This guy is the best late night talk show host alive. Period. No competition. David Letterman? Not even close. Jay Leno? He is finally leaving the Tonight Show and hopefully Conan will make it funny. He gives one of the funniest interviews. Usually, interviews are only funny if the guest is a comedian but Conan makes even the dumbest super model entertaining. His monologue jokes are always hilarious and even if he bombs one, his reaction makes up for it! Not to mention the fact that he wrote for Saturday Night Live and The Simpsons when they were still considered great shows. He rose from an unknown face to hold his talk show spot based on PURE TALENT !!
Can't wait for The Tonight Show with Conan O'Brien!!

This guy is HILARIOUS! Easily one of the greatest TV hosts ever, he is so funny. His sketches are awesome and he wrote some of the best Simpsons episodes and Saturday Night Live sketches. Just an awesome comedian! He deserves his spot on the Tonight Show he is getting in 2009 and will do a great job as host! He may need to be a little less overactive, but he will still be better then Leno and the Tonight Show will be better then ever! Once again, he is an awesome comedian and one of my all time favourites!

This man is possibly one of the most hilarious people I have ever come across on television! Conan is a one-of-a-kind comedian, given his hyper personality and very immature and amusing quality. I never get tired of listening to his unforgettable jokes and skits. And if one thing is for certain, I don't know what I would do without knowing such quotes as, "Keep cool my babies!" or "I'm-a gonna go to hell when I die!" -- classic phrases that will always stick with his image in my mind. Conan still has a magnificent future ahead of him, with the reign of Tonight Show host being handed-off from Jay Leno to Conan O'Brien in 2009, we are sure to never see an end to this marvelously side-splitting person anytime soon!

Conan O'Brien is by far one of the funniest, most original talk show hosts around. Yup, face it, he's better then Letterman, McManus and Leno combined.
Conans show always has original bits (much unlike my reviews) that always deliver a funny punch. Although his interviews seem a bit more general rather then honing in on a specific subject, it is to be suspected as he the guests he interviews are normally on the end of their talk show tours, so he tries to get some new info rather then the same old stuff.
If your looking for a good Late Night show, this is the show for you.
