The fuck? It's supposed to be a comedy show and you want to start with him talking about a great one who died? That would ruin the whole thing from the get go. Don't watch it if you don't want to.

Jay hurry back since i am tired of this Fucking prick

If you knew anything about show business, or human interaction at all, you'd know that opening a comedy show with a downer will ruin the night. He's funnier, wittier, and more entertaining than you could ever hope to be so hush, buster.

Its there anyone other than people acting like sh!theads in this thread that actually saw the show and can comment on their impression as well?

Seriously. I'm curious if it was poorly done like the OP said.

I watched the show. You can watch the show on Hulu to see for yourself. It was fine, the OP is just a bleeding vagina.

The only one acting like a shithead in this thread is BooHoo. I watched the show and he handled it like he should have, considering they launched a video tribute of his best of moments on the tonight show right afterwards. Did you expect him to do that before the monologue began? That would make no sense whatsoever.

Thank you. Atleast that's what I was looking for, someone who saw it.

Not sure where all the hate comes in when Conan gets a dissed. Afaic, he's a pinhead who can be very funny at times but won't last two years doing the tonight show because when he's not funny he's annoying as hail.

Given the responses, I'd swear we were talking about Michael Jordan or something. (in which I would have trashed you to. :p;) )

Dave Letterman is quite annoying when he's not funny as well. He's lasted quite a while.

I assume you're one of the elderly folks who thinks jay's humor was great because it was "nice" and "like the olden days"?

I used to watch Letterman religiously when I was in high school. Since then Leno's grown on me more and more. I've tried going back to watching Letterman (love Paul Schaffer and his little-recognized tallent, he's a HUGE cornerstone in the music industry), but it's just not my taste. He's not funny anymore.

That being said, I've been watching Conan since high school and have only missed a handful of shows since. Conan is my hero.

Here is the tribute to Ed McMahon on Hulu.

Yeah, that was totally rude and offensive :roll:

And he isnt funny either.

Ain't that the truth. I seriously hope his ratings fall so much that NBC cans him...maybe they can actually hire someone funny to do the show...MAYBE, if they offered enough, Leno would come back.

rofl. You got flamed for being an idiot, and suddenly we all lack balls. What a classic, "I have no comeback" response.

I think what will fail Conan on the tonight show is the audience that he is thrown in front of. He's no Leno, just as Letterman was no Carson. But they didn't take Carson's audience and say, 'ok, now everyone watch letterman', which is sort of what's happening with Conan taking over for Leno (with somewhat awkward timing as well since Leno was still going pretty strong.)

Conan and Letterman were both in a place where they could be themselves and not pander to a particular audience. But now Conan is supposed to captivate two audiences...the one he's bringing over from his original show, and Leno's previous audience. And that's not going to happen - atleast not quick enough imo before Nbc has to make a change. Nbc had two loyal audiences, now they have one, and that's not going to cut it (unless they come up with another late night hit to absorb the audience that doesn't care for Conan)

As for Schaffer and "cornerstone", please explain (or link?) for my edification. I know he's talented and respected but not much else about him.
