    Judging by how bad Dave is stomping conan into the ground, I wonder if Conan is in danger of losing late night.

    It really makes no sense to have Jay Leno at 9:00 PM when conan is getting creamed every night.

    Conan by my estimate is now 4th.

    1. Jay Leno
    2. Dave Letterman
    3. Craig Ferguson (I actually believe he is the funniest show)
    4. Conan O'brien

    The problem is that Conan isn't translating. He needs to be put back on late night. Not to mention the fact that David for the first time since I can remember is actually trying. Booking Kiss and that show last night was money, conan tried to counter with Anvil but Kiss was the show. Then Craigh comes on with his lip syncing umm bop and those two are destroying nbc late night and besides that, 9:00 PM is WAY TOO early for late night show.

    What are you estimating this on? Last I heard Conan was beating Dave in 18-27 demo which is what most ad buyers care about.

    I thought Jay Leno was plummeting. A good debut week, but dropping heavily after that.

    Nevermind I googled and you are just totally off. You are just a hater with no facts whatsoever.

    Dave is also riding a boost from nailing his employees. That will die down soon. Conan has owned the 18+ demo almost from the onset.

    Jay's new show is a piece of crap. I was not a huge fan of his old show or anything, but it was occasionally watchable. His new show is just pathetic.

    The only guy I can consistently watch is Conan. Dave is the worst on late night imo

    He is not the worst it is just hard to watch because he is obviously mailing it in these days. He is awesome but since he got old he is just to grumpy for my taste.

    does carson daly count?

    without looking at the ratings, my guess would be:

    leno
    letterman
    conan
    ferguson
    kimmel
    fallon
    daly

    i don't watch any show daily, but about once a week i will scan the online sites and watch individual guests and maybe a skit or two. i find myself watching leno and conan more than the others.

    I actually think Fallon's show is pretty underrated. I thought it would be terrible, but I actually don't mind it.

    Every time I flip through the Jay Leno show, I see guests racing cars. Is he doing this every night? It's boring and seems like filler to kill time. I know Jay is a car fanatic, but it's dumb imho.

    Late Show isn't a concern for Conan, though I imagine he and NBC may be concerned with how they've split their viewers between him and Leno.
