Conan O'Brien Gets the Big O

Conan O'Brien finally started his "Tonight Show" run last night -- and we're guessing Will Ferrell's interview had to be cut a bit short, because the standing ovation Conan received when he first walked out lasted for...ev...er.

That being said, dude did a great job.

16. I disagree. I like Conan's style of humor, it reminds me somewhat of John Stewart and The Daily Show. Conan can make me laugh by what he does as well as what he says.

Conan, if you're reading this, "You da man!".

17. Why in the hell is this guy the best replacement for Leno? His stupid 'shtick' sort of humor is so lame and unfunny. He has a decent joke every 5-10 minutes, at best. I will DEFINITELY not be watching his show, and I'd say that I'm not the only one. More sleep for us now!! ;)

20. The poll is very close and that's sad. Conan is very different from Jay and much more entertaining. Jay is a cardboard cut-out and relies on cliche' liking audiences. Conan mentioned Jay on his first show as Tonight Show Host... Jay didn't mention Johnny on his first episode. F*** Jay.

P.s. Linda or Brooke Hogan, the public respects and admires you very much. Please due some porn videos.

23. CONAN SUCKED. HE IS NOT FUNNY AND NEVER WILL BE .

HE WILL FAIL...

JAY LENO IS THE MAN.. I WATCHED DAVID LETTERMAN. HE WILL GET ALL THE TV VIEWERS GOING HIS WAY.
LETTERMAN WILL NOT HAVE TO WORRY ABOUT THE RATINGS SINCE LENO LEFT.

24. Are you kidding me? Conan's show was not funny, in fact, it sucked. Conan could not hold up Jays jock strap. I know why Conan is winning the vote on this one. Most of the voters were previous Conan fans, and as such they are also David Letterman fans that never watched Jay Leno. Last night was the last time I will watch the Tonight Show, and I'm sorry I did. Letterman should be in heaven right now, He will see an increase in viewership - ex Leno fans.

25. Right on LENO RULES! His so-called comedy is STUPID and not at all funny. Can't wait until Jay is back on the air. Read the review in the New York Post this morning. His show is a waste of good air time!

26. "the standing ovation Conan received when he first walked out lasted for...ev...er."

stage hand forgot to turn off the "applause" light and the idiots who follow him do as they're told

27. Conan is absolutely dreadful and that show was also. I mean really Andy Richter as his sidekick? REALLY? And that whole running cross country bit was HORRIBLE AND TOO LONG! He sucks if Leno get's the most ratings why'd they replace him with this loser?

28. CONAN IS THE BEST! I love him!! He is a very smart comedian.

29. The best part of the show was the commercials, and I don't even remember what they were for!
It was at best painful to watch. I won't go out of my way to watch it again!

30. Conan was horrible. Stupid faces only a baby would chortle at. Bad jokes. Bad writers. Some stupid idiot guy at a podium with hair plugs - why is he there? Dump him. Band members ready to redo a Benny Goodman album.
Then there is Conan. He is NOT funny in the least. I watched the show for 20 minutes and finally changed the channel. I never laughed once. If he didn't have a laugh track playing, there would be no laughing at all.
Why would NBC put this child on the TV? Prior commitments? OK, he's on. Now fire him. Give the show to Robin Williams.
Conan will fail within the year. Te studio is made for 380 people, and NBC is gonna have to pay people to show up.
Did I say he was bad yet?
Fire the writers. Fire Conan. Get someone who is funny. Thank God for DVR's. I watched a Simpson's rerun after 20 minutes. Bart's fart jokes are funnier than a stupid guy making faces.
BTW. He's worse than any critic could imagine. Dick Cheney is funnier. Kim Il-Jung is funnier.
Abort the show or NBC will loose money like General Motors.
