That statement is the exact opposite of reality. The comedy hierarchy goes:
Conan > Letterman > Leno
We're back in agreement then. There's not much better than juvenile humor movies. My wife says she hates them, but then hovers while I watch and laughs her head off.
She was famous for that when I used to watch "King of the Hill". She'd complain that I'd turn it on, but then she'd hover and enjoy. Even my kids called her out on that one.
More like:
Conan >>>>>>>> bitter old man Letterman
Leno >>>>>>>>
so you're saying Conan is much greater than Letterman, and Leno is much greater than nobody? Exactly.
No...I'm not good with ASCII art, but maybe this will help:
I'd rather watch Leno and Conan than watch my neighbor's cat pooping in my back yard.
I'd rather watch my neighbor's cat pooping in my back yard than watch Letterman.
The only redeeming quality I find in Letterman's show is that Shaffer does a great job with the music...
Stepbrothers is my new form of torture for my wife
That is hilarious. I figure if I'm going to sit and relax and watch general TV, I may as well laugh.
Leno is terribly unfunny.
The only reason the Tonight Show does well is because of the stars they get for the show. Few of the audience is tuning in to see Leno. I was glad to see Conan get the Tonight Show so he could start getting the large audiences and good stars. Turns out that won't happen because NBC boning him by give Leno another show before his. Leno will still get the stars and Conan will get the B-Listers and then get slammed by Letterman and Ferguson in the ratings. Bad Move by NBC IMO.
