Trouble With A Habit

[windjammer]

I'm a victim of habit. I go to bed at 10:30, turn on The Tonight show, set the timer for 30 minutes and go to sleep.

For years I've watched The Tonight show. Absolutely loved Johnny Carson. The transition to Jay Leno was ok. I like him too.

Now with Conon O'brian, it's bad. O'brian is not funny and I never have liked Letterman.

It's hard to break such a long habit, but will have to do it. How 'bout others..? Do you like O'brian...?

NO!

I liked the Tonight Show when Steve Allen was on it. Didn't care for Paar and haven't watched it since Johnny Carson left.

You mean there is a 10:30 at night....or is that AM that is when I get up

I'm glad I'm not the only one. I think Conan O'Brien's humor is as dry as our Summers. I wish another Johnny Carson would step-up to the plate - better yet, another Steve Allen, a laugh a second, a very funny man and great piano music-maker.

I was raised watching Johnny Carson. I actually like Leno. No he is not Carson, but he is funny. O'Brian is not worth the electricity the TV uses.

 

[jlrhiner]

It's a shame that Robin Williams or Bill Cosby or someone like that wasn't available.

I will probably never watch the Tonight Show again, so long as O'Brien is the host. He's just terrible.

I usually don't get to bed until 11:30 or 12:00. I don't care one bit for O'Brian. He is WAY to dry for my taste. Leno is no Carson, but at least he was watchable. Now if the powers that be would move Craig Ferguson to the 10:30 time slot I would be more than happy to switch channels.

DVD's Problem solved.

Depending on the guests I'll switch to Letterman. No O'Brian fan.

 

[indiandave]

I get up at 4:00 or 4:30 AM. I haven't seen late night TV in years.

Watch Bill O'Reilly.

I like Conan, think he is funny.
Then again, I probably am quite a bit younger than most of the rest of ya.

BTW, the Tonight Show comes on at 11:30, so I can't stay up that late and go to work, too.
If it did come on at 10:30, then I would watch it more often.

I'm a Conan fan. The dryer and weirder the better. Never liked the way Leno repeated his jokes twice to the audience then again to the band and once again to himself then laughed at his own jokes. I got it the first time and it wasn't funny then. Letterman hasn't been funny in decades. I believe Conan wrote for Letterman years ago when he was funny.

"O'brian is not funny and I never have liked Letterman."

+1! I'm waiting for Leno's new show due to arrive sometime in the fall.

Yep, I am going to bed earlier now. I tried to watch the first Conan version Monday night and found it awful. I had an open mind and wanted to like it. The only guest seemed to find himself really funny but I didn't. The trolley tour segment was boring and very pedestrian. It was disappointing. I don't like Letterman. Carson was my favorite and Leno was ok. Oh well, mabe "Nightline" once in a while. I don't have cable TV...
