Either way, I personally couldn't care about who hosts what. To me the night shows are a dying format anyways, going along the way that laugh track sitcoms had in the 90's. I don't know of anyone who watches these shows, especially since Daily Show/Colbert Report is so popular.

But what you said doesn't make any sense. Jay Leno can consistently pull audiences of 5 million+ the Daily Show is lucky to muster 1.5 million. That is why NBC wanted to keep him over Conan because he is guaranteed ratings in that sense they are far from a dying format.
