Yup, he was. Didn't see the whole show, just the clips available.

I'm a big Conan fan but this wasn't one of his better shows. And I don't know why he brought Richter back. The jokes with Joel the announcer were some of the funniest things in his old show.

Now I guess with Andy there he won't be talking to Max like he used to, also some of the funnier moments of his shows. Ah well, guess I'm a bit disappointed.

I watched it, but I won't again. Not for me. I'm curious to see if he can hold onto enough viewers to succeed.

That was basically the same crap he used to do an hour later. The Tonight Show just lost me as a regular viewer. At least there's still Chelsea Lately (so hot) before Craig Ferguson.

If he wanted to keep Leno's older viewers, I don't think Will Ferrell + Pearl Jam was a good way to start.

I only watched the last half unfortunately.

thought it was ok, will probably be better once they go to the 2 interviews/1 musical guest format. the second short with the taurus was really meh.

also, were pearl jam's sound levels really off, couldn't hear eddie (not that i would have understood what he was saying anyway)

Leno's older viewers can still watch him at 10:00pm and then fall asleep watching the local news.

The show was good, overall. Conan looked a little nervous. It will probably take a little while to hit his stride again. And what is with people bashing this show already? Jay was never funny.

a random person off the street would have been more interesting then Will Ferrell.

and I'm sure that random person could make a string of movies that all make huge amounts of money too right?
