So for all ( or none) of you who follow me on the Twitter you already know that as far as I'm concerned I prefer watching Craig Ferguson over any other late night show. A lot of that has to do with it coming on when I'm usually off to bed but I mostly just think he's hilarious. Usually with any late night talk show that I might end up watching (except Leno, I've never liked him) I always turn it off once the guests show up but not with Craig Ferguson. His interview with Morgan Freeman from a few weeks back kept me up because I was laughing so hard.

Now none of this is to say that I don't like Conan (which I do), Kimmel or Letterman but I like Craig Ferguson best.

Moving on to what Conan will do next is another story. Chris says that ConanonFox.com has already been bought and redirects to a Twitter feed but I think he can do better.

Now that he's walking away from the Tonight Show with more than $40 million I think he should try something new: Internet Television. He's got enough money to get a pretty slick website made and I think a series of web shorts by O'Brien and Andy Richter would give me a warm, fuzzy feeling inside.

But why not Fox? That isn't even a question to consider. Have we learned nothing from Firefly, Arrested Development, Drive, Dollhouse and many more? I know that those are different kinds of shows but geek anger runs deep.

Anyway, part of the reason Conan's ratings weren't up there was because this new generation of people who would watch it instead went to Hulu the next day to watch either the best clips from the previous night or the whole show.

So I'm really hoping for ConanTV.com (or something more clever and less obvious than that). I would gladly watch Conan doing nothing but monologues and sketches with no celebrity interviews in sight.
