Anchorhead, you complain that the Tonight Show is too much like his old show,  what did you expect it to be.  

I expected it to be more intelligent interview, less frat-boy humor. As I mentioned earlier, I've never cared for Conan's syle. Too much Conan, not enough guest.

The only reason the Tonight show under Jay didn't  "look like his old show" was because Jay didn't have a show.

Yes Warbler, as I said earlier, I've been following Leno's career since the late 70s.  I started watching The Tonight Show years before that and did so every night. Back then there were only five TV channels. Three national, two local. The tonight Show was a staple for me.  I grew up with it.   I used to tape the audio of the show by putting a small cassette recorder next to the speaker, and I'd listen to it again the next day. I formed my taste for certain comedic styles through those 70s Carson years.

For me, Conan isn't really the style I lean toward. He can be funny, for sure, but not someone I follow. And the way he's handled himself through all of this certainly isn't making me a fan.
