According to viewer tallies, released by TBS and Nielsen, 'Conan' easily bested O'Brien's primary 11PM frenemies Jon Stewart and Stephen Colbert.
The Totals:
1. 'Conan': 4.1 million
2. 'Tonight Show': 3.5 million
3. 'Late Show': 3.4 million
4. 'Daily Show': 1.3 million
5. 'Colbert Report': 1 million
Not surprisingly, O'Brien's audience skewed young, with 2.4 million aged 18 to 34 tuning in and 3.3 million between 18 to 49. That means only about 870,000 people over 50 and under 18 were watching.
In his debut episode, Conan featured Seth Rogen, Jack White and 'Glee' star Lea Michele. Night two, he'll welcome Tom Hanks, '30 Rock' star Jack McBrayer and grunge granddaddies, Soundgarden.

Yawn Yawn the crowds will soon go away and Conan will be back to his boring, squirming self. Go away!

Glad to see him back doing what he loves. He really got screwed over by NBC. Good job Conan!
not him again...

Grunge granddaddies!! Hate to break it to Rob Shuter and his cronies, but Soundgarden can run musical circles around your beloved Justin Bieber and Britney Spears.

Young and obviously STUPID! Conan is truly TV for IDIOTS! Only STUPID IDIOTS would watch this carrot sucker.

I guess it's because I'm over 50 but there is nothing funny about Conan. Have none of you seen his TV ads, the stupid dancing , the black chair, or the desk washing three reasons why I didn't want to watch. Grow up Conan
