The Tonight Show w/ Conan O' Brien

[What Would Kevin Do?]

Finally. I've been waiting for him to take over, and the night is finally here. Thoughts? Think he'll do decent? I have faith that he'll be entertaining, although I don't have enough faith in people to think they'll accept his non-Leno stylings.

[Boondock Saint]

Excited as well. I think he'll do fine. The dry run tapings were apparently hilarious and still very Conan-style humor.

[parkmania]

Meh. Not a Conan fan, so not caring.

[Supreme Olajuwon]

His guests are Will Ferrell and Pearl Jam. Ferrell better not be a fuck and try to upstage Conan.

[road doggy dogg]

I can't wait at allllll. I will now have the unfortunate decision of watching Conan's monologue or the Colbert Report every night. :'(

Catch Colbert at 12:35 on CTV.

Very excited for Conan :love:

[Hornicane]

Can't wait. It's been a long month without Consey. :-\

[DrA]

Is this going to be live?

[road doggy dogg]

I don't think so. Normally late night shows are taped at like 5 in the afternoon... I'd imagine tonight is no exception.
crossrine

[Triple Naitch]

It's starting...:D

[GreySunshine]

SOOO glad they have the same music.

4S too.

[Boondock Saint]

Can't wait. It's been a long month without Consey. :-\

It's been about 3 months.

[Supreme Olajuwon]

totally forgot about Andy Richter

I don't think he'll do well. Old people don't "get him"

[road doggy dogg]

Nice to see Andy there, but I miss Joel. :'(

And even though it's the same people, "Max Weinberg and the Tonight Show Band" makes me die a little inside. </3


JUST NITPICKIN' THO

I'd be pissed if Conan bought me toilet paper and other people got whiffle ball bats

James Wormwood as a permanent member of the band :heart:

Is he, I didn't catch that?

Also, I am as well thrilled that he kept his music (granted they updated it a bit.)

And fuck old people, if they don't get Conan, they can go die.

[Supreme Olajuwon]

Is there like a monster or something on that backdrop behind Conan or are my eyes playing tricks on me?

[Supreme Olajuwon]

swear to god it looks like eyes and a big orange ball behind him

lol a great little Burger joint called Burger King. made me laugh

[What Would Kevin Do?]

The thousand dollar question is "will Will Ferrel bust out his green speedo for the Leprechaun dance?"

[Hornicane]

It's been about 3 months.

May explain why it's been such a long month. lol

[Downunder]

ferrell couldn't upstage a dead monkey

[Loose Cannon]

Pearl Jam needs to bust out Nothingman

[LoDownM]

5 minutes in here and I already love it :D Same music ftw.

[LoDownM]

I missed Conan so much :(

[Jeritron]

Pretty awesome

[Beauser]

I was very happy. Although I think Leno should have been his first guest. But hey....

[road doggy dogg]

I dunno about him being the FIRST guest, but I definitely think he should make an appearance sooner rather than later. I think if they had Leno on the first night it would kind of take away from Conan being there and taking over, all that ish.
crossrine

[Buzzkill]

Yeah, especially since Conan was Leno's last guest 4 days ago

[Buzzkill]

But yeah, very happy with the first episode. So funny

[Buzzkill]

lol 'Literally not one single person thought you could do it'

[Triple A]

Mad good first ep. New studio is crazy.

[road doggy dogg]

I am excited to watch Conan every night now. So sexy. 20 minutes.
crossrine

[Triple Naitch]

Looks pretty good with Tom Hanks & Green Day

[road doggy dogg]

I hope this Twitter Tracker is a recurring thing. ROFLing so hard right now.

[road doggy dogg]

Just saw the new Star Trek movie. Wow! Really good.

[Ol Dirty Dastard]

LOL on fire right now, "Coop and Coco are hanging out!"

[James Steele]

Jimmy Fallon is fucking horrible, but Conan is on fucking fire.

[Hornicane]

LOVED that they brought back "In the year 2000/3000". :love:

[James Steele]

The entire Tom Hanks segment last night was fucking classic.

[Sixx]

Anyone knows what's the story behind the host change? To be honest that's the first time I even hear about it.

[Juan]

Anyone knows what's the story behind the host change? To be honest that's the first time I even hear about it.

Jay Leno announced around two years ago that he would be retiring from the Tonight Show in 2009, so NBC (or maybe Leno himself) chose Conan to replace him. Subsequently, Jimmy Fallon was chosen to take over for Conan on Late Night.


I may be alone in this one, but I actually kind of enjoy Late Nite with Jimmy Fallon.

[Hornicane]

I don't hate Jimmy, I just think he needs to find his groove. It took Conan a few years to find his deal. I think with enough time he can be pretty good.

[Sixx]

OK , thanks.

I know I've seen Fallon in many skits on SNL, but the ones that come to mind were him playing Adam Sandler on Celebrity Jeopardy and that tech support guy. Too bad I can only watch stuff like that on the internet.

I think the show is pretty good overall. Definitely still Conan.

Though I'm not a fan of Richter. Miss the Conan/Max sidekick combo.

Not quite the entire story. 5 years ago, Conan's contract was up, and he was getting offers from other networks, so NBC promised him the Tonight Show in 5 years. I don't think Jay had anything to do with picking him.

[Penner]

ROFL did you see that Asian guy who was SO EXCITED for Kareem Abdul Jabar? LOL Dying right now. HILARIOUS

LOL. I totally remember this. He had his hands up and a huge smile before Conan even mentioned who it was.

I liked Andy more when he'd sit on the chair next to Conan when he was at his desk, or when guests were there, etc. I don't like him at that podium, hearing him laugh at jokes off-screen is getting a bit annoying.

crossrine

I dunno I like Andy though, I think he's doing a good job. Conan definitely feeds off his presence.

The one thing I notice about Conan is even though he has this pressure on him in the "Tonight Show" Slot, he still has phenomenal command on the stage. You can just see all his experience... his transitions are smooth, he's always calm and cool and he never gets rattled from a bad joke, so he pretty much embodies the spirit of all the great late night talk show hosts.

[road doggy dogg]

[road doggy dogg]

Don't get me wrong, I love Andy. I just find the "unseen laughter" element kind of unsettling. Like if he was onscreen it would be much better.
crossrine

[Impact!]

Andy has been annoying the crap outa me...dunno maybe I'll get used to him.

[Xero]

He's too over the top, and that says something when talking about Conan.

[Triple A]

Never liked Andy Richter. :'(

Seems like a "really nice guy" but never found him that funny. :(

[road doggy dogg]

He definitely gives off the "I don't deserve to be here so I gotta act overly appreciative of my role" vibe. I don't know. I still like him. :$
crossrine

[Triple A]

Nah not gonna say I don't like him.

Just think he never really added that much or something, but it's kind of a tough role to be in in the first place. Like it is really hard to be funny as "Conan's sidekick" but still not upstage him. The announcer role is kinda rough. I feel like he "tries to be funny" sometimes whenever he gets a chance but it is really hard to be funny in that situation so like kinda comes off as "try hard" b/c he's trying to make something out of nothing. :(

Also yeah the laughing at every joke off camera thing is kinda annoying. FEEL BAD FOR HIM. :-\

[Ol Dirty Dastard]

Though you can't blame him for laughing at the jokes lol, Conan has been on fire.

[road doggy dogg]

David Duchovny is probably the most boring guest ever.

That comedian wasn't very funny either.


All in all, tonight's guestage kinda sucked. Conan was tops, as usual, however.

I've never really liked Richter. Liked Joel way better. I miss the old bastard. :-\

[Nervous Ferret]

Norm Macdonald, Jim Gaffigan and Conan were all on my television at the same time a few hours ago. I <3 all of them. Norm seemed especially SAUCED tonight :heart:

[Nervous Ferret]

Still love that interview from a few years ago

Norm: I uh, came here on the airplane... and stuff.
Conan: You always kill with that line.

[Triple Naitch]

Norm was gold last night.

[Impact!]

Even Richter was solid last night

[Mr. Nerfect]

I don't get all the Andy Richter hate (OK, "hate" is a strong word). The guy is solid, and he sets up a lot of stuff for Conan to play off. I really like him as the supporting player. Plus, Conan still interacts with Max, which is great.

I think Richter is funny, and I'm glad he and Conan are together again.

[Jeritron]

Gotta say that I have really grown to enjoy Jimmy Fallon.

I know this is the Conan thread but people were discussing Fallon's show too.

At first I thought it was a huge trainwreck and felt bad for him. I thought it was gonna bomb or something

Over the past couple weeks though I've been enjoying the show a ton. It's not Conan, but I still have a blast watching it. One hour of late night tv isn't enough, so having this show be entertaining is awesome.

I really like how the humor/writing is wise enough not to try too hard. It has its own style.
I think the concept of having him play games with his guests is incredible. Like playing air hockey with a celebrity is so simple it's genius.
He's pretty good with his guests, and makes great conversation.
It's just amazing to see him and Jim from The Office play video games, or him play beirut (beer pong) with one of the Golden Girls. That shit is surreal.

I think its amazing that he's doing the whole Saved by the Bell thing. His biggest strength is that he's dialed into the current mid 20's generation.

[Jeritron]

plus AD Miles is his head writer and he's amazing

100% agree. He brings his own style to the table and it works for him and it's very entertaining.

[Triple A]

I also like Jimmy Fallon. I haven't watched him at all since Conan came back on though.

[road doggy dogg]

I haven't been watching Fallon at all, but I've heard some of the stuff he's been doing on his show and it intrigues me to the point where I might try and catch him every now and then.
crossrine

[Stickman]

I like Leno better. I've watched a little bit of Conan's opening bit and I haven't found it very funny. Both nights I watched I flipped over to Lettermin and stayed there. I'll give Conan a chance but so far I'm not impressed.

I have no Conan experience before now.

[Juan]

Will Arnet is a Law & Order geek. That's awesome, i love him for that

Edit: I see that he is. Is he still bad?

They changed the format of the show a bit. He's usually on location somewhere now, and if he has a guest, he will interview them there instead of the studio like he used to. I haven't watched it much, but I think it's more music driven now, which I guess isn't that bad.

[LoDownM]

Um, did I just see Fallon doing a Telemundo skit on the ad for his show?

I love Larry David.

I think Fallon is a very good host, but not good at the comedy. His monologues are only about 2-3 minutes a night.

[Jeritron]

His best strength is definitely how he interacts with guests

[screech]

I am loving Conan. He's been on fire since he took over the slot. I do like Andy, he doesn't bug me as much as he bugs some, but I miss Joel :(

[screech]

I like Fallon, I just don't really think he's that good of a host...yet. He can interact with his guests very well (as Jeri said, that's his strength), but he just seems really awkward still. 7th Floor West is probably my favorite part of his show.

[screech]

And, like many, I fucking love the Twitter Tracker. Hilarious.
