Yeah, hell of a pair of legs, she and Maria Bello are two "would you" thread worthy candidates.

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.

No, he's not.

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.

NBC was contractually obligated to pay him as soon as they decided to fire him.

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.

True.

BTW, is his new show back in NY or still in LA ?

It's filmed in Burbank on the Warner lot.

Maybe it was just that set, but I thought he sucked ass.

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 read something that said the staffer compensation averaged something like, 60k each. That's not a ton of money for that kind of move, and then job loss IMHO.

Depends on what they were making in the first place.

60k isn't SHIT in L.A.
