He's actually funny despite running along the same SEO-driven theme, that's why I respect him more than anyone mentioned here.

And Conan is whitty as f*ck. He's self-deprecating. He doesn't take himself too seriously. His new show isn't as good as his Late Night NBC show was, but it's still light years ahead of Kimmel, Fallon, Meyers and Colbert. Conan's show feels like CONAN's show, not just a late show with a bunch of writers.
More like *whitey

And Conan makes cheap partisan hack cracks all the time. I get what you mean about how he's a bit different humourwise, but he's gotten incredibly formulaic with it over recent years and made that uniqueness redundant. Plus, I can tell you as a pretentious person that self-deprecating humour is mostly used as a distraction from a huge ego. I mean, to think that I'm actually lesser than all of you is pretty hysterical, right?
