My parents have watched Leno for years, and on the off chance that I caught an episode, it seemed like on the rare occasions that something on the show was funny, it had nothing to do with Jay. "Headlines" were submitted by viewers, and "Jay-walking" relied on people on the street. He barely says anything during the celebrity interviews, he just laughs at the guest's jokes. All he ever really does is waggle his head and say "Have you heard about this?" Even my parents skipped his opening monologue because it was too dull. He's figured out how to do the safest, dullest, most lowest-common-denominator type of comedy, and that 's why he's been kept on. If anyone has ever seen the TV show "Extras", Leno's "Tonight Show" is pretty much a real-life "When the Whistle Blows".

Conan's humor is a lot more on the silly side, and I understand that that isn't always for everyone. But it is exactly the type of humor I enjoy, and I'll have to side completely with Team CoCo.
