Been a fan of Conan ever since he first went on air my freshman year in high school, he led to many late nights and procrastination. On to college, my friends and I invented the Conan O\'Brien drinking game (every time he licks his lips, you take a shot. let me tell you he licks his lips a lot).
As an adult, he\'s the only program my husband and I get to watch together with my husband working till 11/11:30 most nights. Definitely the best and last laugh of many of my week nights.
NBC needs to realize that Leno caters to an older generation 55 and up. Soon those people won\'t be staying up till 11:35 anymore. The generation that is and will are the ones that like Conan. He attracts teens, 20s, thirties, fourties. His demographic is huger.
And honestly, Conan is naturally funnier than Leno. Leno reads from a cue card 90% of time (things written by his staff). Conan, on the other hand, improvises soooo much. I will watch Conan no matter where he goes. But when it comes down to it, NBC would have to me complete idiots to let him go.
