That show, which directly competes against the 6&#8217;5&#8243; Conan, has a host by the name of Martin Bashir. The man is well known for his documentary &#8220;Living with Michael Jackson,&#8221; which famously featured a boy whose family later filed a lawsuit against the singer. That show was seen by 27 million Americans in 2003.<\/p>\n<p>According to <a href=\"http:\/\/tvbythenumbers.com\/2009\/07\/09\/%E2%80%9Cnightline%E2%80%9D-was-1-among-total-viewers-adults-25-54-and-adults-18-49-for-the-week\/22588\">TVbytheNumbers<\/a>, ABC News&#8217; &#8220;Nightline&#8221; was #1 among Total Viewers, Adults 25-54 and Adults 18-49 for the week of June 29, 2009, outperforming NBC&#8217;s &#8220;The Tonight Show with Conan O&#8217;Brien&#8221; and CBS&#8217; &#8220;Late Show with David Letterman,&#8221; according to Nielsen Media Research. This marks the second week in a row &#8220;Nightline&#8221; placed first in Total Viewers. Both NBC and CBS aired repeats last week.<\/p>\n<p>By the way, earlier this year I had the chance to briefly meet with Conan when he came to visit the old TV station I use to work for.
