Thanks for the reminder. This will be only the second time I have watched The Tonight Show since Conan took over....can't wait.

They bleep blowjobs?

huckleberry · « **Reply #6 on:** June 26, 2009, 01:09:04 AM »

I want him to cause trouble so bad.

BobFromPikeCreek · « **Reply #7 on:** June 26, 2009, 01:10:59 AM »

This is actually surprisingly boring.

The Fake Shemp · « **Reply #8 on:** June 26, 2009, 01:14:45 AM »

Only funny part is blowjobs.

The Fake Shemp · « **Reply #9 on:** June 26, 2009, 01:16:27 AM »

Okay that was pretty funny.

BobFromPikeCreek · « **Reply #10 on:** June 26, 2009, 01:17:31 AM »

The movie looks hilarious, but that interview was actually pretty dull.

Tauntaun · « **Reply #11 on:** June 26, 2009, 01:17:48 AM »

Love the dancing.

The Fake Shemp · « **Reply #12 on:** June 26, 2009, 01:18:16 AM »

He basically just fucked Conan's face!

lennedsay · « **Reply #13 on:** June 26, 2009, 01:18:23 AM »

Just caught the end right before they cut to commercial... I don't know whether to laugh or to curl up in a ball and cry.

The movie does look great because a lot of clueless people get fooled into thinking he's a real guy. All these interviews and staged events like that MTV thing are stupid.

Pretty much. Nothing is funnier than a guy making bigots uncomfortable. The promotional stuff for Borat was just as crappy.

They are basically stripping and pole dancing on the Tonight Show - old people are going to have strokes!

Holy shit that woman is nimble

This is getting hot.

Jesus that was sexy.

Haha, that fucking True Blood asshole darted right out to talk to that pole dancer.

For the first time since late 2005, CBS' "Late Show with David Letterman" has beaten NBC' "The Tonight Show" in total viewers for a week of original broadcasts, putting both networks into spin mode.

For the week ending June 19, "Late Show with David Letterman" averaged a 2.5 rating/6 share overall to go with an average of 3.46 million viewers per night. "The Tonight Show with Conan O'Brien" averaged a 2.3/6 and 3.32 million viewers for the same period.

The last time "Late Show" beat "The Tonight Show" in viewers for an all-first run week was back in December of 2005, when Oprah Winfrey's appearance gave David Letterman a boost.

Needless to say, CBS is very excited about this victory. Not surprisingly, NBC has a very different perspective.

NBC's ratings release boasts that O'Brien beat Letterman "in every important demographic -- adults, men and women 18-34, 18-49 and 25-54 -- on every night of the week.

Indeed, "The Tonight Show" averaged a 1.3 rating in the 18-49 demographic and averaged an estimated 1.8 million viewers in the demo, compared to 1.1 million viewers for "The Late Show." In viewers, that's a 67 percent victory margin, which is pretty big, right?

Well, CBS' spin is that "The Late Show" trailed "The Tonight Show" by only 0.5 ratings points this week, compared to 0.6 last week and 1.4 for O'Brien's premiere week. That's still massive, percent-wise, but clearly dwindling.

Poor, Conan. You had a good run. :'(

Conan does great in the demo, I doubt he is losing much sleep over it.

I like the progress of this thread. " Holy motherfucking shit"

Also wasn't Conan losing to Craig Ferguson before he switched timeslots?

Letterman is still enjoying his bump from the slutty Palin daughter nontroversy.

He started beating Conan before that.

And although I much prefer Conan I think Dave deserves to be #1 for what looks to be last couple years on Late Night after losing to Leno for so long.

Ferguson beat him a couple of times - it wasn't like O'Brien was constantly losing. The 12:30 slot is not a big deal. Those shows have no budget or money behind them.

Well looking at Fallon and Ferguson it seems like Fallon has a much bigger budget.

The Fake Shemp · « **Reply #32 on:** June 26, 2009, 01:19:12 PM »

So he has a bigger budget of nothing that great? Fallon probably has the budget equivalent to a syndicated talk show, probably not even close to stuff like Ellen's show.

And that's nothing compared to the money dumped into Conan or Letterman, where the former can bring a fucking elephant on the set.

Cheebs · « **Reply #33 on:** June 26, 2009, 01:20:58 PM »

That's one area where Letterman beats Conan in quality. Letterman's animal guy, Jack Hannah, is hilarious.

Yeah, maybe if you're 50.

Huh? He is hilarious because of how Letterman mocks him. Letterman mocking guests is funny at any age.

Ferguson + Fallon

I'd really like to watch Letterman but he comes on the same time as Conan now.

Has Conan used Triumph yet?

Yeah, at Bonaroo - it was pretty funny.

By chance I caught the end of an interview with Bruno last night on a normally unfunny Australian TV show. God I roared with laughter. Some of it has been uploaded.

Bruno and Borat depend on other people not being in on the joke, that's why the promotional stuff usually doesn't really come off as well.
