Letterman is great at interviews, but his monologues and bits suck as much as Jay. Thinking Ferguson has a better show than Conan is pretty laughable.

I do see a confusing headline here. Why is the headline about a certain age group rather than the TOTAL NUMBER OF VIEWERS???!!! It seems like there is a slant on this journalism to promote Conan Obrian & Jimmy Fallon because they're apparently more popular to the younger age group. BUT - If you read the entire article, the overall winners for viewership are Letterman & Ferguson. It just seems like something is VERY FISHY to promote shows that are NOT the overall favorites in HEADLINES I’m new to checking out “thenumbers”. I do see a confusing headline here.

Conan's never going to beat Letterman, he's going to have to settle for being number two for a while. MT, Jon Stewart is at the top of the list for Letterman replacements. I'm not being subjective (I'm actually growing to despise Stewart lately), it's been stated in quite a few interviews and he was even offered the job when it looked like Letterman was going to ABC a couple years ago.

I wonder who invented those demo break-downs and what did they based on. I tend to agree with Jon that it's hard to conceive the 18-34 segment (which I just came out from :) having higher spending power than 35-49. So let's see. If my math is correct, Conan and Letterman get 702M and 919M in the 35-49 segment, respectively. I assume that most people buying new cars, getting new home appliances (hey! you need a home first to buy appliances), and opening retirement accounts. 18-35? Yeah! I used to buy 6-packs and save money by eating at McDonald. But I don't need TV commercials for those decision. I am not in the TV/ad biz; just found this site out of personal curiosity.
