    I haven’t watched Leno, but a quick question for those that have…is he using Conan’s set?

    That’s Leno for you. Even when he wins, he does it badly.

    He’s using the same set from his primetime show (but he’s added a desk). Conan’s set has been torn down.

    Conan’s set was dismantled a while ago so no he’s not using it. He’s got some high profile guests this week but we’ll see out things turn out in the long run…

    This just proves who America really likes, to the total dismay of the libs and the Coco fans.

    America loves Jay Leno and Sarah Palin. They are real people who connect with real people. The Tonight Show fits Leno like a glove…and it has for 18 yrs. Conan fans, deal with it. Sarah Palin has done nothing to warrant the vicious attacks that have been launched against her since she first entered the spotlight. And last night, she was terrfic.
