Leno in my opinion was better at it than Conan. I find Conan to be too juvenile- maybe more appropriate for local cableTV. Although Leno got too predictable, I think he could identify with the average slob better than Conan. So to answer your question, for me, I do miss Leno who frankly is much superior to Conan. I also like Greg Ferguson- he's silly but intelligent and has a way of endearing himself to the audience. I find Letterman an aquired taste, but sometimes I get too big of a dose and find him tiresome. I did like Carson- he was like an institution like Paar or even Walter Cronkite.
I'm old enough that I watched Steve Allen and, although he could be very very silly (sometime he could not stop laughing), he was much more intelligent and inovative than Conan (and Leno). Also he had his own talents (such as music- he was an accomplished piano player. I miss him.
My 2 cents.
