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.

So why didn't he go with a non-talk show? The whole thing makes no sense to me. Then again, he says it was his dream.

Himu · « **Reply #61 on:** November 09, 2010, 11:11:43 AM »

Really. Hmm, I figured it'd work for Conan because a lot of his most popular shticks are from his skits already.

Robo · « **Reply #62 on:** November 09, 2010, 11:15:46 AM »

The talk show format is probably his best fit. He gets to be a spontaneous, ridiculous personality -- his biggest strength as a comedian -- AND do the occasional skits without living or dying by how good they are.

First guest should have been Norm MacDonald

tvbythenumbers guessed that the 2.8 will mean about a 1.5 in the 18-49 demo. So equal to Leno's TTS return, and double Stewart/Colbert (his real competition)

I'm not sure why that got a QQ emoticon

That Glee girl was really fucking boring. I wish he would just get interesting guests and say no to these hoe bags

Conan should replace Andy with Norm.

Andy was nailing it last night

He ended up blowing away that preliminary number. He did 3.3 mil in the demo, over double that estimated number.

The median age for the Tonight Show is 59.

Dickie Dee · « **Reply #69 on:** November 09, 2010, 01:31:45 PM »

A "1" rating =! 1 million people.

I'm not sure what formula is used - in that same article it says Conan got a 2.9 household, with 4.3million household and 3.3million 18-49.

oh gawd this is worse than sales-age - that excel chart isn't mine, I swear!

Cheebs · « **Reply #70 on:** November 09, 2010, 01:33:11 PM »

Must be. Never got monologues or weak jokes. Might work in a club with a bunch of alcohol, but those jokes shouldn't tickle any sober, straight man.

Great Rumbler · « **Reply #74 on:** November 09, 2010, 03:55:25 PM »

The only thing you really need to know is that the show with the biggest number is the winner.

lennedsay · « **Reply #75 on:** November 09, 2010, 10:33:43 PM »

Anybody going to check out tonight's? I think we're going to watch for Soundgarden.

Stoney Mason · « **Reply #76 on:** November 09, 2010, 10:43:08 PM »

Yeah. It's at a good time for me actually. For some reason it coming on at 11:00 makes me more likely to watch it than if it came on at 11:30.

I don't know why that is though...

Mr. Gundam · « **Reply #77 on:** November 09, 2010, 10:54:02 PM »

TBS HD used to be East Coast feed. They changed that about a month ago. It would've been nice to watch Conan at 8pm...

TakingBackSunday · « **Reply #83 on:** November 10, 2010, 01:24:02 AM »

it's because soundgarden is and always has been bad

Himu · « **Reply #84 on:** November 10, 2010, 02:00:34 AM »

the mixing was horrible. Cornell sounded like he was singing with someone covering his mouth and the lead electric was too loud.

anyone got a link to the performance

not really. pd just needs a sense of appreciation of self deprecation in humor.

Self deprecation humor is funny. Late night hosts are completely outdated, and cheap humor. The punchlines are rarely laugh out funny, and instead garner a chuckle or two, forming a chain of half hearted chuckles to some climax that's usually forgettable.

I have better things to do at 11pm or midnight than watch middle aged or or old men trying to be edgy. The entire style is played the fuck out.

So I'm guessing Triumph the insult dog belongs to NBC?

Dickie Dee · « **Reply #99 on:** November 10, 2010, 07:51:09 PM »

I thought I read somewhere recently that NBC is allowing all the old IPs except Triumph. Which is weird because back when this all started going down, the word was that NBC could hold on to all the IPs except Triumph because he belongs to Robert Smigel.

It's a mystery.

TakingBackSunday · « **Reply #100 on:** November 10, 2010, 07:55:17 PM »

Meh, Conan can still theoretically use any of his old IPs, he just needs to get permission from NBC to do so, usually through a license. I'd wager he had to pay a license for the masturbating bear. For Triumph, any time Smigel comes on I'm sure Conan would be willing to pay up, but otherwise I think Conan's going to be starting fresh with characters.
