They also make their own sit-coms, which are apparently horrible.

why the fuck didn't comedy central grab him? grab conan and you set up an hour and a half talk show block. two of these shows already surround politics. why not have one that's steeped solely around daily life like conan with some sketches and shit? missed opportunity for both conan and comedy central. tbs sucks.

George Lopez has been on TBS for a few years with his talk show I think. If that can survive then surely Conan will.

I am pretty sure TBS has much better ratings than Comedy Central.

Mupepe · « **Reply #21 on:** November 08, 2010, 04:56:19 PM »

Lopez tonight has only been on the air for a year. And I think you're underestimating the loyalty of hispanics and the shittiness of the average TBS viewer. tyler.perry.shows. He doesn't fit in.

BTW, I'm trying to say he's too fucking good for TBS.

Stoney Mason · « **Reply #22 on:** November 08, 2010, 05:11:19 PM »

Unless he utterly bombs he should be there for quite a while.

I'm pretty sure he's going to be there for quite a while in other words.

He doesn't need Leno or Letterman ratings to stay there.

Himu · « **Reply #23 on:** November 08, 2010, 05:56:32 PM »

So awesome. As much as I would question Conan working at Comedy Central, since they're just about as shady as NBC, if he starred in his own sketch comedy show ala Chappelle's Show with Andy at his side, it would undoubtedly be awesome. It's no question Conan's an amazing writer, but back when the whole Tonight Show business was going on it was said that the current format of talk shows is boring and dated, and I agree. I don't think anyone can put on a good talk show, it's just an archaic show format. Unless it's Ellen.

Ellen

2.8 rating.. slaughtered :santocry

Mupepe · « **Reply #43 on:** November 09, 2010, 10:22:49 AM »

so is that bad or are you being sarcastic? I don't know anything about ratings. Sounds bad. It's only a 2!

Himu · « **Reply #44 on:** November 09, 2010, 10:24:00 AM »

By comparison, Walking Dead had 4-5 on average.

CHOW CHOW · « **Reply #45 on:** November 09, 2010, 10:27:00 AM »

That's the overall rating and yes it's pretty bad (especially for a hyped up premiere), but the key is the rating for the 18-49 demographic which hasn't been released yet.

Himu · « **Reply #46 on:** November 09, 2010, 10:28:07 AM »

I was expecting at least 5 given the hype.

Still should have went with comedy central.

Still, I thought the show was fantastic and it's everything I wanted. The opening skit was amazing.

Himu · « **Reply #53 on:** November 09, 2010, 10:45:36 AM »

It is. Especially when you consider it's a talk show. But for a premiere to a highly marketed television premiere, it's pretty bad.

Mupepe · « **Reply #54 on:** November 09, 2010, 10:47:30 AM »

nah. i want him to fail so that all those bastards that didn't watch the nbc show will feel like shit and cry again when it happens.

i hate talk shows by the way. i just wanna be an a-hole.

Mupepe · « **Reply #55 on:** November 09, 2010, 10:50:07 AM »

Conan should do movies or a full skit show. I'd watch him then.

Himu · « **Reply #56 on:** November 09, 2010, 11:00:23 AM »

Why DID he go with a talk show instead of a skit show? Wouldn't a skit show akin to Chappelle's Show be more popular? I haven't watched a good skit show in a while. It's obvious that Conan isn't a particularly big fan of the traditional talk show format, the interviewing for instance -- he has always been nervous in them -- and not to mention the monologues -- he seems to be one of the few that realizes how silly and outdated they are. So it seems crazy to me that he's fine going back to the standard talk show format when he appears to want to or has the capacity to do something more non-conventional.

Maybe I'm overestimating him a bit or maybe I'm reading his emotions on tv wrong. It just always felt that while he loves doing a talk show, he wants to do more than that and the only reason he's settled for the traditional talk show format in the past is because he was stuck with that job and it wasn't worth making abstract or whatever, but here he is now starting a new show on a new network that lacks the negatives of the network infrastructure and it's the same format.

TBS

In its second week on TBS, the high-energy late-night series Lopez Tonight averaged 1.3 million viewers; 1 million households; 440,000 adults 18-34; and 790,000 adults 18-49. The Wednesday, Nov. 18, episode was particularly strong, delivering 1.7 million viewers.

* Since its Nov. 9 premiere, Lopez Tonight on TBS has averaged 1.5 million viewers; 1.1 million households; 519,000 adults 18-34; and 908,000 adults 18-49. It has delivered outstanding growth for TBS in the 11 p.m. hour, with viewers up 38%, households up 31% and adults 18-34 and adults 18-49 both up 40% when compared to the same time period for the prior four weeks.

* Among both adults 18-34 and 18-49, the first two weeks of Lopez Tonight outdelivered the season-to-date averages for The Colbert Report, The Late Late Show with Craig Ferguson, Late Night with Jimmy Fallon, Jimmy Kimmel Live and Last Call with Carson Daly. In addition, Lopez Tonight outdelivered the season-to-date average for Late Show with David Letterman and The Wanda Sykes Show among adults 18-34.

So Conan could lose a third of his first-night audience in the next two weeks and still double Lopez's performance, which was considered a huge success for TBS.

Himu · « **Reply #58 on:** November 09, 2010, 11:03:47 AM »

Is Lopez's hispanic audience even covered in nielsen?

Mupepe · « **Reply #59 on:** November 09, 2010, 11:04:25 AM »

Wow, the Lopez Tonight show has been doing a lot better than I assumed. Gimme that crow.

Either way, I agree with Himu. He's always seemed tired of the dated talk show platform. He just seems more enthusiastic when he's doing something besides the regular ass interviews or monologues.
