Leno for me. But I'm probably older than you. Conan tends to attract the younger crowd, but I do like him a lot. Leno and Conan really aren't in the same league, anyway. There's a reason Conan comes on after Leno.
There was an interesting article in the L.A. Times Magazine (about 3 years back or so?) about Conan. They said he is the up-an-comer for comedy, more original than even Leno or Letterman. I could see everything they said as being accurate, but as the article said, he needs a few years to grow. Conan has held his own, though, over quite a period of time.

Conan all the way. You can't even compare the two... Leno sucks! He's not even remotely funny and he doesn't know how to conduct an interview.

Okay, so here come the young'uns here to post about Conan! 
Conan's stint the other night with Donald Trump sitting in the back of his audience was hilarious! I did like that.
To make this really legit, AIRZOOM, you should add Letterman too. I've gotten a little sick of Leno's schtick and turn to Letterman for a change. It's Leno vs. Letterman that is the real comparison. Conan is sort of in another leaque from those two. What about Conan vs. Jon Stewart? Can you still edit your poll?
Jon Stewart = #1 for me. |

Agreed. However, out of these two, I vote for Conan, simply because he had the greatest bit of all time, that being "The Lever of Walker, Texas Ranger". By far the funniest thing I have ever seen, couldn't stop laughing. I've been trying to find it since I first saw it, but with no luck...

I agree about Jon Stewart 
And personally I think that Letterman is much, much, much better than Leno.

Stewart is money...but Conan is by far the better of those two...it's not even close..
Conan needs to move to LA and do his show in burbank when he takes over...
Leno is a lot funnier off camera than on screen...I swear..his writers suck.. |

Letterman is just too odd anymore. Letterman and Conan are better guest interviwers and Leno ahs the strong monlauge. Conan does the better set piece comedy. Andy Richter was a great sidekick.

"Walker says I have AIDS."
Speaking of hilarious bits on Conan, did you see when the insult dog went to the Star Wars premier in NY? I still almost die while watching that bit, even after 50+ times. Filet-o-Fish rules. |

Jay won't be on much longer. Conan will takeover his spot.

LOL. When Triumph asks a smartass in a Darth Vader suit which one of the buttons calls his mom to pick him up, I die every time I see that. His appearances on the Hollywood Squares are classic too. Little known fact. Triumph the Insult Dog's first appearance on Conan his name was the Yugoslavian Mountain Hound Dog. Maybe some Yugos complained but Triumph is better anyways. I highly recommend the best of Triumph Dvd you can rent it at a video store now. But back to topic Conan is way better imo. Leno assumes his whole audience is as dumb as the people in the jaywalking segments. Letterman still smokes his butt anyday. Watch Letterman's monologue tonight, he's usually got the best stuff on Modays. |

Conan wrote for SNL. He has better delivery. His humor flows better. Leno tends to emphasize his punchline as if he's reading it. It's got to be a tough gig to be in the public so much and not get stale.
