   I'd actually say Jay Leno's more entertaining than Conan O'Brien at this   
   point. Conan was my favorite late night talk show around 10-12 years ago,   
   but over the past few years the show has really gone downhill. (And I won't   
   even mention Carson Daly.)   
      
   I don't watch Letterman, but people have said the same thing about him for   
   years now. I think most of the love for Letterman that still exists on the   
   internet is 80s nostalgia. He's never been the same since he went to CBS,   
   and I guess the last few years in particular.   
      
   Leno's not a laugh riot or anything, but it's kind of a deal where he wins   
   by default since everyone else is worse.
