Once Conan has those rating will go through the roof. I have little doubt.
The number of viewers to Conan and Leno are near the same.
How is it possible that Leno has nearly the same numbers?
I think it is only because he has a better time slot myself with a better number of guests that got better profiles.
Conan will never grow till leno steps out of the time slot.
Surely if they were to switch Leno would faulter.

The main issue will be the same as it was with Letterman. Once again 11:30 represents a different type of audience.
It's not usually your up late college kid audience who gets a kick out of warped humor like Conan and Letterman back in the day.
The host usually has to tone it down a bit....the big issue will be whether or not 50+ year old midwesterners who love Leno will "get" Conan...regardless of who the guests are.
