This.

Jay != Conan != Johnny ... it's that simple.

Jay would never do The Amazing Carnac.
Johnny would never do Jaywalking
Conan would never do Headlines

And Conan is Conan with his sketchs that many aren't used to, yet, but will
eventually fall in love. He has his "driving in the car" as well as Triumph
and many other sketches that people love...

Being a Hoosier and a Hoosier household we watch Letterman, anyway ;)
