Conan on TBS
Series starts in 14 minutes. Should be interesting. :D
|
His first monologue
Spoiler!
|
Damn, I forgot about this. Hope they have it online for streaming tomorrow.
|
I watched about midway through Seth Rogans part and i lost interest and turned it to family guy
|
People still watch commercial TV shows while they are on? How can you fast forward through the commercials?
|
Reasonably funny. He seemed a little out of practice, honestly, but I like the overall format. I'm glad to see Andy is back on the couch - that was a major mistake in the Tonight Show, in my opinion.
|
I lost interest before it ever came on.
|
i was ROFL when he was leaving and drove up to the gate guard in his green ford taurus.
that's probably the most famous taurus on the plant. I am so glad he's back on TV. Seth Rogan lost a shit ton of weight. He walked out and was a skinny man. |

My kids are so used to it now, they get disappointed when they cant FF through something.... It actually frees up time, i can do other things in the early evening, start watching shows around 9PM, then be done in under two hours. Win! |
i thought it was good. First episode was just supposed to be about him and it was. Him singing at the end with that dude was pretty good. Like his intro and his monologue.
I was laughing my ass off when he was moving the moon. haha |

Ill at least be DVRing this week. The show was pretty funny.
However, George Lopez was NOT, IMO. |
I thought it was a pretty good first show.
You can watch the full episode here if you missed it: http://www.tbs.com/video/conan.jsp?o...f=sharethisUrl |
All the latenight guys are identical in style. (desks? necessary?)
We need a Benny Hill type comedian. Sexy show with good skits. |

I'd watch a Dean Martin type show in a heartbeat. |
Something has got to be said for Mr. Tom Hanks. The guy is classy, funny, clean, and overwhelming gracious enough to do the types of gags he does.
|
Tom Hanks knows he is on Bonus time after LadyKillers.

Well, Conans rating already took a nice dive, he is already behind Leno, Letterman and even Nightline in the ratings.

all they give a **** about is the key demo's and he's beating the others in the key demo's.
The total viewers dont matter. its the 18-49 range that they care about. That was down 25 percent on his second day which beats the others. tvbythenumbers and their charts got me a bit confused. lol, even so for a TBS basic cable, show is doing pretty damned good. We have to remember, Conan is still getting paid a shitload by NBC. lol |

I'm glad Jon Dore is finally getting some recognition stateside. I chanced upon his Canadian TV show on IFC a while back and it is truly hilarious. He ought to be the next big star.

Last night, with what was probably Conan's least star guest driven episode of the new series, was probably the funniest episode I've seen in awhile. Maybe the funniest since his old shows. His monologue with Kayne talking on the bottom left had me rolling the entire time. That was genius! And "Ghost" Andy during the local news round up was hilarious.

The buyout happened six months ago. It included his yearly salary and the salary of his staffers. He's on a new contract with TBS. |

He received a $32 million dollar severance check and $12 million went to his staffers. I think it would absolutely suck to move from New York to Los Angeles based on the premise that you'd have a job for years (if not decades) and be out of a job in 6 months. At least those people were compensated. |
Quote:
BTW, is his new show back in NY or still in LA ? |

Conan was pretty low-key in his first week, but that's to be expected. Shaking the rust off, new network, trying to figure out what he can and can't do. Also, it should not be overlooked that this is his production company, and he's not getting paid a boatload by TBS, and I think that was reflected in the dearth of scripted expensive out-of-studio bits. In his first month on "The Tonight Show", he was roaming the neighborhood, harassing tram visitors, carrying a giant statue into the theater, etc.,. He doesn't have that kind of cash any more, probably.
I do agree that Ferguson is insane. I've liked him ever since he played the boss on "The Drew Carey Show". Ferguson truly plays around like a guy who wandered onto the set, got handed a hosting gig, and figures he might as well have fun until someone figures out he shouldn't be doing it, LOL. Kimmel's another guy who's pretty decent, and slightly less annoying than he used to be. Fallon's just too wishy-washy, but he's had some great bits. I'd rank them: 1.) Ferguson 2.) Conan 3.) Kimmel 4.) Fallon ---big dropoff-- 5.) Letterman 689.) Leno |
Ferguson's far and away my favorite. I was just watching him and Donald Glover on youtube last night. Great stuff.
Seems Craig's quite familiar with Don's mother. |

I'm sure that all 200 staffers that moved from New York to Los Angeles had a move allowance. |

No one is going to pack up and move across country for less in this industry and many are union workers, guaranteeing their salaries. |
Anyone watch Conan tonight? Anyone think Harrison Ford acts like he really doesnt want to be a guest on the show?? He was really non responsive and short with answers...i looked at some old youtube interviews wheres hes on conan and he pretty much acts the same.

Rosario Dawson looked smoking hot. Also seemed intelligent, and witty. I got a semi.

I still think the 1 hour late night format is dead.
The Daily Show does it right. first 8 minutes - monologue. Commercials. Next 8 minutes - bit (be it Stewart or one of his 'correspondants'). Commercials. Last 5 or 6 minutes - 'guest star'. You don't get tired of it at any point and you end up wanting to see the next day. It's also so short that Stewart can do a really good job with the material he has. Does anyone really care about the 2nd half hour of most of these shows? And as often as not, even if you do care, the 2nd half is painfully tedious schlock. People have too many options anymore to dedicate an hour to Letterman, Leno or Conan. Then again, I guess the networks have too much money and identity wrapped up in Leno or Letterman to scale them back. That said, as those guys retire, I think the networks would be better served to reformat the shows into 1/2 hour segments. |
Ford looked like he was on ecstasy or something.

Unless I'm getting this wrong, as I understand it, he really pushed NBC hard on making sure his staff got benefits. And I'm pretty sure his travelling tour was largely a way of keeping his staff working and paid as they waited for the dark period to be lifted. Because I agree--people can say all they want about Conan getting paid (therefore not getting screwed), but his staff are working stiffs like most of us and NBC bent them over hard. |
I like that Conan is interacting with the crowd, Andy's funny again, and they're back to improvising. I also think his interviews have been hilarious so far. His interviews with Tom Hanks and Michael Cera in particular were amazing. I remember when Kimmel laid into Leno--Leno couldn't respond because his entire show is scripted. I appreciate that Conan's allowed to be spontaneous again.
What bothers me is that he's not good at monologues and yet since doing the Tonight Show, they seem to be getting longer and longer. And the skits in between aren't the random goofy shit he did on Late Night--interviews with Saddam, Triumph, the year 2000, etc.... They're sort of ho-hum. I want him to do less monologue and a lot more of the goofy shit he did on Late Night. I really, really hope that he figures this out soon. |
Question.
Why do they say at the top of the show, they say "today's episode..." Is it just me, or does this episode never happen? Am I crazy? |
Quote:
Kimmel's show has made a formatting change where they don't do the first bit between the monologue and the guest. He just does the monologue, goes to commercial, and comes back with his first guest. I used to really enjoy his show, but with no bit before the guest, I hardly watch the show at all anymore. |

Wait.
Alice Eve is British? And she's unquestionably #1 on 'my list' right now. Just a staggeringly good looking woman. |

Loved Conan on NBC but Conan on TBS was soft garbage.
