| I personally prefer Jay Leno. For some reason I just don't find Conan's segments nearly as funny as Leno's. |

Leno rips off others. Conan has a bunch of inside jokes. Conan>>>>Leno>>>>Kimmel>>>>Letterman. |

Leno has a team of comedy writers. Conan seems to be more off the wall. At least, he comes off that way. Conan tends to be more crude in some of his jokes. Jay trys to appeal to the older midwest audience. I think it's a bit generational.

Conan also produced several episodes for the Simpsons back during the glory days. |

Yes I have noticed he does rip off others but I still find Conan's segments a bit too immature for me. |
