I liked that Beck was just there.  No one introducing him or anything.  He was just there with his nice vest playing.

This is the first Fallon monologue I've seen. Dude's sort of stiff, isn't he? Sort of a monotoned, impassionate delivery.

It's really bad.  I don't get the impression he'll be improving either.

I think he'll improve, his show is vastly better than it was when it first aired. I personally think he needs to dump the format structure and play to his talents.

His interviews are worse.

he might be able to collect a stronger writing staff over time, but I don't see the problems with his delivery going away.  He's had years as an SNL newscaster and he's still completely wooden.  A Jimmy Fallon monologue basically pairs the spontaneity of Jay Leno with the anxiousness of a high school presentation.

Eh, I disagree. I think he can and will improve. Although his structured interviews aren't very good, they're a lot better than they used to be. I mean, I remember watching Conan as a kid back when I was eight-years-old and if I recall, he wasn't that great either. You need to find your footing.

That said, I do think he has some natural quirks that will make it difficult and arduous to fit his style of comedy in the format structure that currently exists. I think he would have better and immediate success by dropping the standard monologue, focusing on the bits and continuing with his interviews where the guests actually do something instead of sit on the couch.

Holy shit Beck was playing the bass in that Freebird cover. Fuck YES. Gotta love how every guitarist had a Les Paul. Damn straight.

EDIT: I really wish Ferrell wasn't shitting this up >:(

That finale was epic. ZZ, Beck, Elvis Costello and Conan Shredding. I didn't recognize who was on the board though.

I love how they got all these great musicians and cheaped out on the fucking vocalist. Lame.

Will Ferrell singing it was appropriately bizarre for Conan. It was like one of those "you know what would be fun to do?" ideas realized. Like Will and Conan thought about jamming to freebird with a bunch of random rock stars while drunk one night.

Meh. I really like Freebird, as overrated as it is, and the vocals aren't hard to nail. Will came off like he didn't even really give a shit.

The last time Will was funny was Talladega Nights, and that was, what, three and a half years ago already?

Indeed.

The quality of the vocals was not remotely necessary or relevant to that ending bit.

The only way it would be anything like Lou Gherig's speech is if Conan was leaving the Tonight Show because he was DYING.

Hey, not many people knew Gehrig was dying when he gave that speech. Maybe NBC gave Conan AIDS and we just don't know it yet.

I think what has been lost with all the drama behind this, is the one undeniable truth.

Fatty Andy Richter is death for any television show.

FACT!
