Oh, shit, I just realised I can apparently watch full episodes of this on teamcoco.com so I've been missing out for two years. It says "US only" but plays just fine. I'm like five years behind on all the shit that's been going on with late night TV too!
How's this show been lately? Just watching skits uploaded to the Youtube channel nothing recent really stands out as hilarious, but maybe that's just because I'm comparing to a 20 year backlog of stuff like SlipNutz where you can get all the payoff of a four-year running joke in ten minutes.
Changing the name of In The Year 2000 to In The Year 3000 is dumb as hell (I totally missed this shit when it happened four years ago). That was half the joke.
Can't wait for Leno to have his last episode to know what he'll say if anything, and to know how Fallon will deal with it. His kind of show is great, but it's sort of a funny contrast to Conan's deep reverence for the very name of The Tonight Show.
This is all old already discussed shit because I stepped out of watching late night TV, shit.

It wouldn't be very hard to assemble a "best of" from the past few years of the show. Just put every single Conan remote and you're pretty much set.
Not that funny bits don't happen inside the studio, but the writing has been the weakest link ever since the show moved to TBS (and to a lesser extent since the TTS) while Conan has remained as funny as ever.
Worth the double-post, but I think this is amazing:
Rebel Wilson Got Her Own Show!

So is this the next Conaco big project after Eagleheart?

Platinum Trophy: Learned to Shit While Upright Again.
So I'm catching up on my DVR viewing
Started 4/19 episode (yeah I'm back there lol)
Why is it when Conan during a joke says Holy Shit, it feels so refreshing
I was listening and a little tired, he say's Holy Shit, that got my attention hella fast
"Wealthy people curse more joke..."

I HATE how TBS runs ads for upcoming segments while the show is airing.
I'm already watching the show, you don't need to convince me to watch anymore!

I guess because some just watch the monologue and then lose interest. It's to keep people reeled in the entire show.
And to be fair, there have been times where I change the channel after the monologue because the guests just aren't interesting me to continue watching.
Was a few months back (I think), where she had her friend call up in the middle of the interview. I like her, and *loved* the standup she did about her cancer.
Yep. That was great. I honestly thought they somehow cut the broadcast and replayed that interview, then I looked at the time and saw what was happening. :lol
I think he's referring to how god damn fucking HOT Alice Eve was! Hoooly shit. I think she just became my new #1 crush.
Anyone else feel kind of awkward when she comes out with her boobs busting out then sitting next to Tig who had to have hers removed due to cancer?

On the other hand Tig is gay, so she probably didn't mind too much.
I kinda knew about her, but then came those bikini pics from last year.....
I mean dayum.
Huh, there you go. Her sexuality was never mentioned and I always suspected, but never assumed and to be honest, never really thought about it that much.
Alice Eve was umm... what's-his-name's love interest at the end of Entourage, yes?
Alex Trebek has gone insane
How anyone hadn't come up with this bit before, I don't know. There are years of archived audio to pull from.

They might have been able to milk even more comedy out of it by using reaction shots from contestants.
I'd love to know this too, I've always wondered what a taping is like.
There is a nude scene of her in some film with Ray Liotta. I swear to god she has the finest rack i have ever seen.
Its just ridiculous.

Fuckin' Leno fans.
Wow, so much salt.

People who dislike Conan find him unfunny because his humor goes right over their head.
People who dislike Leno find him unfunny because they can see his punchlines coming a mile away.
Thus, Conan fans are empirically right.

I find Leno unfunny because he tells old people jokes and lame jokes. He's bland and boring and I'm not sure he was ever funny.
He was before he got the Tonight Show. His Tonight Show writing is neutered safe jokes compared to his standup career.
Dude had talent and just turned himself off.

Hahah at the Conan-rage by the old people.

Sometimes they'll re-use the same setup over a few days with different punch lines, but that's the first I hear of re-using an entire joke. Weird.

But pretty fucking dumb on TCM part not having Letterman doing this.
Conan wasn't a huge fan of Carson like Letterman & Leno were.
He was a huge fan, but as someone from a younger generation, didn't have the chance to work in the business at the same time as Carson, like Letterman/Leno were.

What? Conan grew up watching Johnny Carson with his dad. Hosting the Tonight Show was his life-long dream and that has a lot to do with Johnny Carson.
Also, knowing Letterman he would (and may) have refused the gig... notice how he has been virtually absent from the media outside of his show for many years.

He probably stopped doing it because of the widescreen format. He'd have to jump pretty far to go from the middle of the screen to outside the frame, and back again.

My boyfriend and I just went to a live taping of Conan. He is naturally hilarious, and it was super interesting to see how the show works.
Any interesting details you might want to share? It's been a dream of mine to attend a live taping of Conan, but all my American friends and relatives live on the East Coast
On another note: Apparently, Conan was at E3! Please let me know if the're a segment on it in the show, I don't watch all episodes these days.
