1. One of my faves
She could read the phone book and I'd laugh.

7. ME too
I've always thought she was funny. Her show is absolutely infectuous. She doesn't do dumb anymore either.

2. She's OK
Like any mainstream comedian/comedianne, she hits a few, misses a few.

Quite honestly - I think she would be a great replacement for Leno on the Tonight Show. They could use a woman host, and she would be great. She can interview well...

3. Conan's replacing Leno...
And that is a very good thing.

8. Conan cracks me up
I love it when he "talks to" Arnold.

10. Clock is running on Conan to actually do something funny
I know lots of people LOVE him but it must be a younger generation thing. Every time I have watched him HOPING he would be funny his jokes have landed like current SNL shows-people seem to laugh out of an awkwardness and sense of politeness (that is the only reason I can come up with).

I heard about all these funny things Conan has done (Simpsons and on his show) but yet I still have yet to see any save for the "Big Bowl of Tolerance" which was genius. Oh and Triumph but that isn't really him now is it?

17. He's OK - and will do fine
But honestly, I think Ellen would get more people to tune in.

She already has a following, and she has the right kind of humor for that show. Conan will have to tone down his offbeat sense of humor a little - which will be sad, since that's what I like about him.

19. That would suck if he had to tone it down...
I don't know much about Ellen at all, I've never seen her show, so I don't know how well she would fit.

4. I think she's funny but
I don't like her show. I have only seen it a couple of times but it just wasn't interesting to me.

13. Love her, and don't forget, she's from New Orleans
Metairie, actually, but that still puts her on the list of great entertainers such as Louis Armstrong, the Marsalis family, and Mr. Bill (actually co-created by her brother Vance!).

18. She's alright.
I liked her sitcom much more than her talk show. I find her talk show really boring.
