OH SHIIIIIIIIIIIT
-
Step aside Jay Leno. :mrgreen:
-
YAY!!! I've always loved Conan so much more than the rest of those guys. He's deserved Leno's spot for a long time and I'm glad he's finally getting it. Also, The White Stripes will be playing. Cool!
-
Leno is such a fuckass. I'm glad that Conan is taking his show.
-
Tonight show will be worth watching again with Conan Obrien instead of Jay Leno.
What really upsets me is that Leno is just moving to an earlier slot with a different show name and I'm worried that he is going to cut into Conan's 'Tonight Show' audience who isn't willing to take a chance on that 'jackass with the bad hair from after midnight
The last episode tonight is going to be emotional, I can tell... at least for me.
I really have loved that show for something like 13 years straight now. I will miss the personality unique to Late Night. It will never exist again.
-
Conan > everyone else
too bad i don't have cable anymore or i would totally watch this.
-
You can get NBC without cable.
-
The only thing I hate about this is that Jimmy Fallon gets his show March 1st while we have to wait to see Conan on June 1st. So Leno followed by Fallon for 3 months.
-
The only thing I'm remotely curious about with the Fallon show is how the Roots will make the transition to being a house band. For one thing, I read somewhere that NBC so far hasn't paid for publishing rights on any of the band's music, so they'd likely have to perform new stuff. Presumably, new material played on the show would end up being owned by the network as well. I'm really curious as to how the whole thing will end up. That said, I'm sure they'll just play some completely uinteresting jazzy noodling like any other house band in the history of the universe, so I doubt I'll bother to tune in any time soon.
-
So the Roots took the job?
How sad.
They better be getting solid gold diapers for this.
-
Yeah, I really find the whole thing pretty depressing. This kinda thing is probably what the phrase selling out is intended for, but they've been around for 2 decades now and I don't really begrudge them a cent. Plus, whenever someone utters the words "sell-out", I have the most incredible urge to punch the speaker right in the neck.
Bleeargh.
-
Man, Conan. My older siblings have been watching him since the beginning in 1993 so I've grown up being in love with this man.
Jay Leno is a butt, and I think the whole situation with NBC not completely letting him go is hilarious because I just imagine Jay blubbering while the NBC exces are like, "Uh... wait! We'll give you this!" and he is just like sniffling in thanks
but I've had mixed feelings about Conan taking the top spot. He's deserved it for ages, but I've always been worried about him having to switch up his style to try to gather in the old folks. I love him so much because he's just this goofy-ass dork with also a hilariously lacking budget, which is one thing I will miss if they slick things up. Honestly though, I haven't been keeping up in so long so... I'm probably not up to date.
I also am torn on his move to LA. Now he is so close to me! But I hate Los Angeles and Conan's a New York guy to me. I've tried so hard to get tickets and it's always been one of my dreams to go to NYC and see Conan, but oh well.
Edit: OH MY GOD IT'S 1864 BASEBALL
-
Also, Jimmy Fallon sucks but it's better than that tool Carson Daly
I mean at least he's slightly sort of funny sometimes
-
Jimmy Fallon is such an asshat. Also, for Conan's last episode it was pretty damn lacking. I really enjoyed the new arrangement of "We're Going To Be Friends" though.

I cannot believe that. Not being funny > laughing at all your own jokes.
Nathan Rabin over at the AV Club sums it up perfectly. (http://www.avclub.com/articles/late-night-with-conan-obrien,24148/)
I will never forget what Keith Phipps said when I asked him how he felt about the news that Conan O’Brien said would be taking over The Tonight Show. He said it reminded him of the scene in Goodfellas where Joe Pesci thinks he’s becoming a made man only to get assassinated gangland-style. It seemed too good to be true. Hot headed punks like Pesci don’t get to be Made Men and eight-foot-tall hyperactive, super-genius goofballs like Conan aren’t supposed to take over Johnny Carson’s vacated throne.
Keith wasn’t saying Conan wasn’t good enough to take over the most prestigious, high profile position in all of late-night comedy. He was saying that Conan was, if anything, too good, too weird and too brazenly original for The Tonight Show’s mass audience.
Watching Late Night With Conan O’Brien I’ve often had the feeling that Conan was getting away with something. Let the world have Jay Leno. Conan was and is for us; the comedy geeks, insomniacs, potheads, oddballs and night owls. Conan seemed to inhabit the same crazy upside down world as After Hours, a nighttime realm where the rules went out the window and a cosmic and comic anarchy reigned.
I'm going to miss this show a lot. Somehow I don't see the Tonight Show featuring a great many trigger-happy golden retrievers. I started watching this show around the time it found its sea legs, and I know a whole lot of people who did the same. It came around at a time in my generation's life when we were just old enough to stay up till 12:40 in the morning just to watch a TV show. The only show that informed my sense of humor as a person to a greater extent was the Simpsons, a show that benefited in its golden years from Conan's input, and a show that shared his sensibility. Late Night was a barely contained madhouse, and it was as smart as it was willing to just throw shit out there. You couldn't tell the difference between the funny odd and the funny ha-ha.
-
I've been interning at Conan for the past month and a half. This whole week was really weird.
-
Conan is pretty great. It's the only late show I regularly watch, although occasionally Letterman becomes worth watching when some rare event rouses him out of his malaise; there's nothing on television quite like a truly fired up Dave, and he goes on these surprisingly vigorous runs where I'd put him right up there with Conan in entertainment value, if not creativity.
It also doesn't hurt that the show first hit the air when I was 11, so it was really hitting its stride by the time I was 13. That's pretty much the prime age to start appreciating things like the Masturbating Bear and the Robot on a Toilet. In retrospect, my parents really probably shouldn't have let me have a tv in my room, even if it didn't have cable.
-
Conan changing
He promised that he will have the same kind of humor when he changes but you're right, he probably won't. The Tonight Show and Late Night are two different beasts, especially when you have some of the not-funny-idiotic stuff that Jay Leno does compared to the kind-of-funny-because-it's idiotic stuff that Conan did that made me a regular fan.
-
I really enjoyed the new arrangement of "We're Going To Be Friends" though.
really? i thought it sounded pretty awful. i like that song, but not like that, i guess.
-
It definitely sounded weird, yes. But I think what made it sound bad to some people was that Jack sounded like he was going to cry the whole time.
-
SHEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEIT (http://www.avclub.com/articles/holy-shit-richter-to-reunite-with-conan-as-tonight,24304/)
-
Oh wow. That's pretty cool yo.
-
OH SHIT YEAH, THE DREAM TEAM IS TOGETHER AGAIN
EDIT: Also, I went to a test show for Late Night With Jimmy Fallon tonight, it was a little rough. The comedy just wasn't really working, and I have no idea if Jimmy Fallon has the same level of involvement in crafting the voice of his show as Conan does his, but I came away with the distinct feeling that NBC's trying to cast him in the Leno/Kimmel mold moreso than anyone with any sort of strong comic personality (e.g., Conan, Colbert, etc.). He definitely seemed to do better when he was off-the-cuff than when he was reading what the writers were giving him. The Roots were fantastic, however.
-
Rather than start a new topic, I thought I'd rez this in celebration and as a reminder of Conan's first night on the Tonight Show. Tonight at 11:35!
-
Oh shit
-
fuckin yeah
-
OH SHIT GUYS LOOK IT IS ANDY RICHTER!
-
First string dance: 6 minutes in.
-
I think it's safe to say Conan's still got it.
-
it is very safe.
-
Last night's show was the very first time I've ever watched a late night show, and I must say, I've really been missing out.
-
Last night freaked me out because the graphics were so shiny. I'm not used to Conan with a budget.
-
Andy Richter brings change
NO LONGER WILL WE SPEAK OF THE YEAR 2000!! INSTEAD WE LOOK TO THE FUTURE!!!
-
I keep watching expecting it to be more Leno-esque and...it's...not. It's still Conan. It's awesome.
-
I think the writers are still giving Conan Leno-esque jokes that fall completely flat, but Conan and Andy save it by being inherently funny. Like, last night Conan's gesturing ("Bread... sausage... mustache") was so much funnier than the actual writing, and it felt like he had to keep cutting short his riffing to deal with the written material.
I can't wait 'til he's established enough to get the show fully in sync with his personal sense of humor.
-
Well, let's face it.
One of the funniest months of Conan was the writer's strike. Dude is just naturally hilarious.

HE'S MAD AS HELL AND HE'S NOT GOING TO TAKE IT ANYMORE (http://mediadecoder.blogs.nytimes.com/2010/01/12/conan-obrien-says-he-wont-do-tonight-show-following-leno/)
People of Earth:
In the last few days, I’ve been getting a lot of sympathy calls, and I want to start by making it clear that no one should waste a second feeling sorry for me. For 17 years, I’ve been getting paid to do what I love most and, in a world with real problems, I’ve been absurdly lucky. That said, I’ve been suddenly put in a very public predicament and my bosses are demanding an immediate decision.
Six years ago, I signed a contract with NBC to take over The Tonight Show in June of 2009. Like a lot of us, I grew up watching Johnny Carson every night and the chance to one day sit in that chair has meant everything to me. I worked long and hard to get that opportunity, passed up far more lucrative offers, and since 2004 I have spent literally hundreds of hours thinking of ways to extend the franchise long into the future. It was my mistaken belief that, like my predecessor, I would have the benefit of some time and, just as important, some degree of ratings support from the prime-time schedule. Building a lasting audience at 11:30 is impossible without both.
But sadly, we were never given that chance. After only seven months, with my Tonight Show in its infancy, NBC has decided to react to their terrible difficulties in prime-time by making a change in their long-established late night schedule.
Last Thursday, NBC executives told me they intended to move the Tonight Show to 12:05 to accommodate the Jay Leno Show at 11:35. For 60 years the Tonight Show has aired immediately following the late local news. I sincerely believe that delaying the Tonight Show into the next day to accommodate another comedy program will seriously damage what I consider to be the greatest franchise in the history of broadcasting. The Tonight Show at 12:05 simply isn’t the Tonight Show. Also, if I accept this move I will be knocking the Late Night show, which I inherited from David Letterman and passed on to Jimmy Fallon, out of its long-held time slot. That would hurt the other NBC franchise that I love, and it would be unfair to Jimmy.
So it has come to this: I cannot express in words how much I enjoy hosting this program and what an enormous personal disappointment it is for me to consider losing it. My staff and I have worked unbelievably hard and we are very proud of our contribution to the legacy of The Tonight Show. But I cannot participate in what I honestly believe is its destruction. Some people will make the argument that with DVRs and the Internet a time slot doesn’t matter. But with the Tonight Show, I believe nothing could matter more.
There has been speculation about my going to another network but, to set the record straight, I currently have no other offer and honestly have no idea what happens next. My hope is that NBC and I can resolve this quickly so that my staff, crew, and I can do a show we can be proud of, for a company that values our work.
Have a great day and, for the record, I am truly sorry about my hair; it’s always been that way.
Yours,
Conan
DAAAAAMN

Why do people like Leno?

Why do people like Leno?
not many people actually do. his new show is getting absolutely terrible ratings.
-
Somehow I don't see the Tonight Show featuring a great many trigger-happy golden retrievers.
I assumed this too, so it's pretty amazing how much of the crazy shit they're still doing. Like the other night Triumph the insult comic dog asked a woman running a pet spa "How does it feel to be the reason Al Queda hates us?"

Is this true? NBC is a bunch of fucking retards.

Oh yeah, and they have been for a looooong time.
Little concerned about the proposed move to Fox, though. They've had bad luck with talk shows.
-
Why do people like Leno?
Far as I can tell, there are still lots of old people who fall asleep watching the television, and Leno's thoroughly "classic" schtick is like a sedative. Conan was always for the kids who stayed up late.
-
I saw Conan walking down the street once, he is a fucking beast, like 6'6". The fact that he was walking with his 3-year-old daughter might have made him look even more impressive.
-
Word presently is that now Leno is thinking of bolting NBC as well.
This is all so dramatic!

That article you linked links to another article that quotes a hilarious joke from Conan on Friday, I still haven't seen that episode:
"“NBC is going to throw me and Jay into a pit with sharpened sticks. The one who crawls out alive gets to leave NBC.”"

"This video contains content from Jimmy Kimmel Live, who has decided to block it in your country."
WELL FUCK YOU, JIMMY FUCKING KIMMEL.
-
Jimmy Kimmel is a stupid name, anyway. What kind of a grown man calls himself Jimmy. We don't need to watch his shit.
-
I don't know, he did fuck Sarah Silverman. This may have imbued him with magical powers.

Quite simply one of the best quotes, EVER!
As for Leno, I hated him when he and his manager pulled their shit that drove out Letterman, and I simply ignore him now. I've not watched a single episode of the Tonight Show since he's hosted it.
What really just baffles me is how NBC consistently caves to his demands. What the fuck is up with that?
:?

Conan's last night will probably be next Friday - The Tonight Show was going on hiatus because of the Olympics anyway. TMZ sez Leno worked out a deal that gave him 11:35 to 12:35.
lol (http://losangeles.craigslist.org/sfv/clt/1551463643.html)
Also, Kimmel fuckin' maims Leno to his face (http://blogs.wsj.com/speakeasy/2010/01/14/jay-leno-takes-it-on-the-chin-from-jimmy-kimmel/). It was like the lite version of Colbert's white house press corps speech.

The Cone Bone has taken a pay out and will not be stricken from the public record as some had thought. (http://www.thedailybeast.com/blogs-and-stories/2010-01-14/conans-exit-confirmed/)
I hope he doesn't go to Fox because then he would fail horribly. As per the suggestion of gawker.tv, a fictional meta-show like the Larry Sanders Show would be optimal.

Nathan Rabin (usually of the A.V. Club) with some typically dead-on analysis:
To comedy writers, Leno’s massive success represents the triumph of mediocrity. It’s the tragedy of a prodigiously talented stand-up making a conscious decision to dumb down his material to reach the widest possible audience. He won over the masses while alienating comedy geeks. He came to symbolize everything crass and mercenary about comedy. As the years went on, Leno became synonymous with Monica Lewinsky and O.J. jokes. His name became shorthand for lazy, dumb and obvious comedy. To comedy snobs, “The Tonight Show” under his nightmare realm was one long Dancing Itos sketch.

I like this OLD LENO video (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=coacWEhWT50&feature=related) wherein he unintentionally mocks his future self. At one point he looks at Dave and there is palpable fear in his eyes.
-
It all makes sense now (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lJ9m1an-pQ8&feature=player_embedded#at=44).
*edit - Holy shit this just went from mildly amusing to absurdly awesome.

Are hey the same cats that made that Tiger Woods video as well?

Tonight Show was pretty great this evenin' -- gotta love Conan's stick-it-to-NBC $1.5 mil Bugatti mouse! Guess that's his way of fucking them right back.

-
Wonder if he drove that car around at all? He is still driving that same old early '90s Taurus with a wasp nest in the trunk, I would think he would have gotten rid of it by now. Maybe when he gets his millions of settlement dollars.
-
Frak me!
Nothing like going out in a vengeful hiss and a roar is there?
-
Conan's last show is tonight holy shit. gonna drink a bunch of beers and smoke a bunch of weed, and watch this with some friends.
Me try not cry, but me sad. Try hard anyway.
grunt
-
At first I was like "wait what I thought he would last until Friday" and then I realized "oh shit it is Friday."
-
How sad is it watching these last couple shows? Conan was practically a stand-in parent in my house growing up, so basically I vomit on Jay Leno's future and hope his return to Late Night tanks.
-
God.
6 months until I can watch Conan again...
-
Yeah but he might go to Fox. I just don't see that as being a good move.
-
OK so I'm not sure why going to Fox is an unequivocally bad thing. Can someone explain that to me?
I understand that other talk shows they have had have been dismal failures but it's not like Conan isn't a proven entity. Unless he ended up having to acquiesce to an awful lot of network interference -which I can't particularly see happening considering the fact that his is a pretty lucrative personal brand and him & his team obviously know how to handle themselves, given that they just made filthy amounts of money out of getting the boot from NBC- there's no reason a new Conan show (whatever form that happens to take) couldn't succeed anywhere.
-
The dude just walked away from the Tonight Show out of principle. Do you really think he would do a show butchered by network execs?
-
OK so I'm not sure why going to Fox is an unequivocally bad thing. Can someone explain that to me?
Fox is made of poo. Everything about it is poo.
-

Guy's got scruples.
-
I thought his exit speech, of sorts, was really terrific and heartfelt. Thanking NBC for the 20 years he had worked there seemed really big of him and he seemed to choke up a bit when he thanked everyone for all the support - letters and internet tirades and even rallies. Ending on that note about cynicism, how it was his least favorite quality and how he implored people not to be cynical about the whole fiasco and said just be a good person and such could have been overly sentimental or cliche but the way he said it made it feel incredibly genuine and from the heart. What a cool guy! So sad to see him go, I grew up watching him afterall. Truly the end of an era. I doff my cap and all that.
-
OK so I'm not sure why going to Fox is an unequivocally bad thing. Can someone explain that to me?

Disagree. Not that I'm a huge Fox fan or anything, but it is pretty much the best choice for Conan.
Someone mentioned earlier a quasi-Larry Sanders show would be optimum but I couldn't disagree harder. Conan wants to stay on Network TV and a show like that would NEVER survive on one of the major networks.
Going to Fox, on the other hand, he goes to a staff that has an excellent time slot for a late-night host, wants the demo that Conan pulls in, and would have the money to allow Conan to struggle in the ratings for a few years until his show gets its voice against Leno and Letterman. And I think they WANT a potential late night competitor too bad to interfere too much with Conan's vision.
Or maybe they'll treat him like they've treated every Joss Whedon show post-Buffy.
-
I'd almost rather Conan take his show to cable than go to Fox. If he did a late night show on Fox at 11:30pm to compete with Jay, he'd be following the Wanda Sykes Show (nothing against her, I think she's funny, but I don't know if he'd want to follow a half hour talk show), which follows Fox News. AND going network means being subject to the same outdated Neilson Ratings System. In its inception, Fox used to take some chances with programming, but these days they're as trigger-happy with cancellations as NBC is. Conan's a smart guy. I hope he figures out a way to be competitive without significantly compromising his show or his ideals.
And I agree about his farewell speech -- he kept it classy, but better than that, he was genuine. How fucking rare is THAT on TV.
In the meantime, I would like Conan to appear in a sequel to Dr. Horrible. :-D Let's make that happen.

Jonas Brothers. srsly.
-
Somehow, I don't see Fox clamping down on Conan too hard if he decides to come over to them. He's proven his value already, and Fox has shown that some shows are given a long leash on stuff. (Case in point, The Simpsons and The Seth McFarlane Variety Hour-and-a-Half get away with a lot of crap against the network.)

Rumor is he's going to go on a stand-up tour across the US. I'm hoping it'll be more of a touring variety show, but who knows.

oh shit he's comin' to MY TOWN ffffuuuuuck
-
Get tix quick, they will sell out soon if they haven't already. Not even the $600 tickets are left in some places.
-
Largely due to the failure of the teamcoco.com site to list the date, there are still seats left for the Denver show. I got mine, bitches! WOOOOOOOO
-
Man, I'm broke, so no Coco for me. There is a crushing sadness deep down within me because of this.
-
I'm broke, carless, and about 15 hours away by car from his nearest show, so there's no way it'll happen. Fuck you West Coooooast.
-
Man, tickets sold out the morning they were announced, at least for all the east coast venues. :| I can afford a ticket, but I can't afford a plane ticket on top of that, though at this point the west coast stuff is probably sold out too. My only real hope is that they add dates to the tour. What irks me, as with all tours, is how easily the scalpers get tickets. Paying a stupidly high price for a regular ticket would sting less if the money was going to Conan's peeps, but it ain't.
It is cool that Conan isn't taking a share of the profit from the tour and that it's all designated to go to his staff. Now THAT'S a cool boss. 8-)

What's kind of cool is they're basically telling George Lopez he's not a real late night host, adding someone else, and moving him back. At least that's how I like to see it.

George Lopez allegedly lobbied pretty hard on Conan's behalf. He wagers (probably correctly) that having Conan as a lead-in will boost his numbers.

Yr probably right but I'm choosing to believe BK's theory anyway

Doesn't really represent the reality of it though. He'd been outspoken about being pro-Conan before and I've never heard anything about George Lopez that indicates he doesn't know how to handle his career or that he's got a big ego, really. The demographic he pulls in is disproportionately young men and young men are the people who actually watch Conan as opposed to merely taking his side against Leno. Pulling for Conan seems like the safe, smart and fan friendly move.
