We compare two pop-culture subjects to see which you like better. To be included in next week’s tally, vote for your favorite before noon on Monday. This week’s match:

CONAN O’BRIEN vs. DAVID LETTERMAN

In the weeks that Conan O’Brien has taken over “The Tonight Show,” the talk program’s ratings have fallen — even in Knoxville, where we have been loyal for decades. We’re now watching more of David Letterman. But are we in love with Dave or just flirting? You decide.

HAIR COLOR

Conan: Bright red (and you know what they say about red heads: Red on top means, well, you’re cut out to be a circus clown.)

Dave: Gray (you know what they say about gray hair: Snow on the roof means a fire down below.)

BEFORE THEY DID TALK SHOWS

Conan: You only knew of his work — as a writer on “The Simpsons.”

Dave: Was known for “Mary.” Can’t remember it? Why should you? It lasted three episodes.

BIGGEST REGRET

Conan: Didn’t cheat off Kendra from “The Girls Next Door” when they took the ACTs together.

Dave: Didn’t apply the flying monkey kick to Regis Philbin during their last Fight Club meeting.

GREATEST CONTRIBUTION TO THE HUMAN RACE

Conan: Introducing Triumph the Insult Comic Dog on his show

Dave: What’s better than his nightly Top 10 list? (Well, most nights, anyway ...)

LAST WEEK: KANYE WEST vs. TAYLOR SWIFT

Our pick: Taylor Swift. She’s a class act.

Your pick: In a first for Smack Talk, Taylor walked away with 100 percent of the votes.
