      Craig Ferguson was better. But Conan was very good.

    In this world its almost always the case that the less talented are more famous, hence why Fallon has the tonight show now and not Conan. The best late night host doesnt have a show anymore, theres your indicative of why hes the most naturally talented and funny.
    Meanwhile I'll keep watching his podcast or any content he puts out

    Regardless Conan was the host of the Tonight Show even for a short period of time but that is an extremely rare title to hold and one he gets to hold for life

    Moral of the story. If you get a better offer you probably have to take that.
