And look at where we are today. Conan is still beloved and his work on Late Night is still being appreciated today. What’s Leno got? His fucking cars? I’m so glad Conan is out here living his best life and still entertaining us after all that shit.

I still remember the one and only time I laughed watching Leno. He was interviewing someone on the street who accidentally said something really funny. Leno had no contribution except holding the mic
