Conan Holds Lead Despite Letterman's Apology to Sarah Palin
Despite all the buzz that was paid to David Letterman making a formal apology to Alaska Governor Sarah Palin last night, the fast nationals from Nielsen Media Research shows that Conan O’Brien still held a commanding 30 percent margin of victory over his CBS rival. Conan, in fact, remained number one in all demographics groups: adults, men, women ,18-34, 18-49 and 25-54.
It will be interesting to see how the Conan vs. Letterman war plays out in the coming months ahead.
At 62, Letterman might be getting a little long in the tooth for the younger audience. On the other hand, Conan’s spasmodic gyrations might not be exactly what the doctor ordered for the over 40 demographic, who are desperately trying to get used to his quirky humor.
More and more, it seems, my remote has a mind of its own and usually lands on PBS for the Charlie Rose Show after about 20 minutes of Dave and Conan.
