PhilCastro Posted June 2, 2009 Share Posted June 2, 2009 Conan's first show on the new set in LA was last night! Did anyone else watch it? I was laughing hysterically the whole time Pearl Jam rocked too! Great start to the new Tonight Show IMO Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
thesweetscience Posted June 2, 2009 Share Posted June 2, 2009 Oh yeah I wanted to see that but I had to have my finger nails removed with some old rusty pliers so I missed it!! By the way, who the hell is Conan O'brien and what were his parents thinking? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Queen of Megadon Posted June 2, 2009 Share Posted June 2, 2009 nope, sorry...I stopped watching The Tonight Show when Johnny stepped down. and nothing about Conan O'Brien has ever tempted me to watch him do anything. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GhostGirl Posted June 2, 2009 Share Posted June 2, 2009 I watched wasted my time on this show... I thought I'd love it but I instead found it ridiculously silly. Maybe I just wasn't in a good mood. I didn't think Pearl Jam rocked, either. It was kind of meh, and EV's face looked all bloated. Should've gone to bed instead. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Snowdog Posted June 2, 2009 Share Posted June 2, 2009 I was really looking forward to this, but I was disappointed. The cross country run bit was funny for about 30 seconds, but then it just got tedious and boring. The whole Universal Studios tour bit was lame and the Taurus bit was even worse. And Andy Richter is a complete jackass. I Tivo'd it thinking it would be hilarious and the only time I found myself laughing was at Will Ferrell. I hope Conan gets better. I really wanted to like it, but I just didn't. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mara Posted June 3, 2009 Share Posted June 3, 2009 I missed it. But I haven't watched The Tonight Show in a while, haven't laughed at Will Ferrell in a while, and have never liked Pearl Jam. So I'm not sure I missed much. Conan used to be funny when I stayed up that late. I always liked "The Wussy Wagon". Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
theworkingman Posted June 3, 2009 Share Posted June 3, 2009 I love Conan and I liked it a lot last night. I'm happy I don't have to stay up until one in the morning to watch him anymore. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

rushgoober Posted June 3, 2009 Share Posted June 3, 2009 Ok, forgive the dumb question here, but, um, did Jay Leno step down or something? Sorry, I never watch late night talk shows and am not up on any late breaking developments... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gompers Posted June 3, 2009 Share Posted June 3, 2009 Haven't watched it since Carson left. Letterman should have gotten the nod. I find Leno annoying. Maybe now with O'Brien I can watch it again. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Same here. I love the 'Simpsons' eps that O'Brien wrote, but that's it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm thinking that this will be a good move for NBC. People that used to watch Leno on the West Coast can still watch him at 7pm now and also watch Conan when they go to bed, like they used to do with Leno. Whether they like Conan is another matter, and they may not watch him, just depends. Thing is, now both East and West Coasts can watch Leno together at an earlier time, and that's never happened before, and this move alone should bring in many more viewers to NBC in this time slot. I know I used to wish like hell that Johnny C. was on earlier than 11:30pm way back when, and if people on the East Coast liked Leno at 11:30pm then they should like him that much more at 10pm. I'm not crazy about Leno or Conan, and I'll watch them every now and then but, I'll probably give Leno a try just to see how it goes. If nothing else, the 10pm time slot just may help me get to bed earlier than I'm used to doing now at 11pm, or later. lol Edited June 4, 2009 by SiriusRushFan Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

nobodys hero Posted June 4, 2009 Share Posted June 4, 2009 Can't stand Conan. NBC made a big mistake by trying to appease Conan and giving Leno the 9 pm (mountain time) spot. It will be a lot for Jay to pull off 5 nights a week because all the other stations will have their best dramas on at this time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
softfilter Posted June 4, 2009 Share Posted June 4, 2009 I never was a fan of the tonight show and it's "safe" humor and bland interview segments. Watched first tonight with Conan ,seemed like he was a bit nervous. He might have to tone down main stream his comedy bits to those not use to the odd(FUNNY) skits from his late night stay.

Stormtron Posted June 5, 2009 Share Posted June 5, 2009 I love Conan and think he's doing a good job so far. I couldn't even take five minutes of Leno. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
plowe70 Posted June 5, 2009 Share Posted June 5, 2009 The sound effects bit last night had me laughing my ass off. The first show was a little blah but Conan is a pro. He'll get it together and do an awesome job. They do need to work on what Andy Ricter is doing. When Conan originally took over the 12:30 slot, Andy was funny as hell. They should put him back into the guest's seat(s). Maybe they are concerned about it looking like they are ripping off Johnny and Ed? Who cares, it worked.

Snowdog Posted June 6, 2009 Share Posted June 6, 2009 I've got Conan on right now trying to give him another chance, but I just don't get it. He is just not funny to me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
