'Team Coco' Conan O'Brien Thread

[JDE]

Cool news.

[hammersavage]

Good. Glad they are reunited.

[razorboy]

Tubular.

[styckx]

totally radical 2-the-xtreme dude

[Don Stugots]

that's really wicker

[GreatAmericanZero]

thats awesome! I will become a watcher of "The Tonight Show" for the first time ever!

Guess it works, being in LA, Andy can still do outside work and do the show

but i do guess it will mean that there will be no Joel Goddard in the Tonight Show. I'll miss him

[Don Stugots]

first time ever? how old are you? i only ask because if you my age then how could you not have ever seen it when Carson was the host.

[Kevin]

first time ever? how old are you? i only ask because if you my age then how could you not have ever seen it when Carson was the host.



I think he means reg watcher, Stugs..C

[GreatAmericanZero]

i was too young for Carson

i've seen episodes of "The Tonight Show" but i've never been a "watcher". if someone cool was on like Norton i'd check it out

[Don Stugots]

I think he means reg watcher, Stugs..C

oooh.

[FezsAssistant]

We're gettin' the band back together...

[led37zep]

Nice! I was watching the final episode of Conan this afternoon and watching the clips of them in the past was hilarious.

Should be pretty awesome

[fezident]

Mint.

[MagillaGorillaz]

This reminds me of why I can't stand Leno at times. Let's make Stuttering John the announcer, but don't have him stutter.

[spoon]

I thought those two were awesome together when it all started. It's amazing though how AWFUL Andy's career has gone after he left, and just how far Conan has risen.

Can we get a Conan on a cross pic here stat!

He has risen!

[Fallon]

I was so happy when I heard the news. Late Night defiantly lost something after Andy left. I liked Max and Joel, but Andy was key.

[pittphantoms]

This is when Conan peaked - wonderful news to hear Andy is back...

[instrument]

I was upset when andy left but it really only made conan act crazierrrrrr.

I just wonder how much of its edge the show will have to lose to appeal to a broader audience..

[TheMojoPin]

I thought those two were awesome together when it all started. It's amazing though how AWFUL Andy's career has gone after he left, and just how far Conan has risen.

It's not Andy's fault the public didn't embrace a show as awesome as Andy Richter Controls the Universe.

Huzzah!!!

Didn't know he was hosting the Today Show too.

[hammersavage]

Pearl Jam scheduled as musical guest for the June 1st premiere of The Tonight Show with Conan O'Brien.


Oooh my

[cougarjake13]

Didn't know he was hosting the Today Show too.

he's multi talented

[hammersavage]

Well, he is back on Monday. Will Ferrell who is always amazing with Conan. And Pearl Jam playing new songs. It will be an amazing night, I can't wait.

[KnoxHarrington]

It's good that he is getting a few months to establish himself at 11:30 before Leno's 10:00 gets going. That should help.

I just hope that he doesn't soften his act, or play it more seriously. I think he can do much the same show at 11:30 that he was at 12:30, and doesn't have to play it "safe".

[RingWraith]

Conan is going to be on Jay Leno's show tonight.

[Contra]

So is Andy going to be back on the show permanantly?

What about Max Weinberg and the Weinberg 7??? Are they staying or going with Conan???

[TheMojoPin]

What about Max Weinberg and the Weinberg 7??? Are they staying or going with Conan???

They're all dead.

[Contra]

They're all dead.

That was the day the music died

[hammersavage]

Just a fantastic article in the New York Times about Conan's move and new show. Some highlights:

On changing to fit a broader audience: “I’m not thinking about how I’m going to change myself to fit a certain demographic. I just have to block that nonsense out. In entertainment, you have to stake out what you think is right, you have to put out that signal, make sure it’s pure and then do it and do it and do it and know that they will come. And if they don’t, you have to pack up your bags and say: ‘I enjoyed my time here. Sorry it didn’t work out.’ But the biggest mistake would be to alter my signal to make sure that I reach all these different people. Because then you’re lost.”conan-pool

On the early, troubled days of “Late Night”: “One executive,” O’Brien recalled, “particularly despised Andy [Richter]. He told me I’d never succeed until I ‘got rid of that big fat dildo.’”

On meeting network affiliates across the country: “I moved to Los Angeles on March 9, and I’ve only slept here two nights in three weeks.” [...] “If you want to host ‘The Tonight Show,’ you need to go to Kansas City and Cleveland and Milwaukee and San Jose and Oklahoma City. There’s something about the show that does belong to those people.”

On missing performing: “The other day, I was at my daughter’s school to read to the kids, and I started acting out all the characters. I ran into [wife] Liza on my way out, and she said, ‘How did it go?’ I said, ‘I killed in there!’ She looked at me and said: ‘They’re a bunch of 4-year-olds. You’re just supposed to read the book.’ ”

[Fallon]

So is Andy going to be back on the show permanantly?

Yup.

I don't get why Leno is having a show at 10pm. What is it about? Is it to purposely try to upstage Conan?

It just seems kind of...sad? I guess, like why not just bow out gracefully?

[hammersavage]

I don't get why Leno is having a show at 10pm. What is it about? Is it to purposely try to upstage Conan?

It just seems kind of...sad? I guess, like why not just bow out gracefully?

Because NBC is the worst run network in television history right now.

[grlNIN]

...but they have 30 Rock :\

[hammersavage]

...but they have 30 Rock :\

Which they almost canceled. I guess they deserve credit for not. But that's 1 out of 30 slots that is somewhat successful.

[grlNIN]

...but they have Conan :\

[hammersavage]

Touche ninny. Touche

[Fallon]

I don't get why Leno is having a show at 10pm. What is it about? Is it to purposely try to upstage Conan?

It just seems kind of...sad? I guess, like why not just bow out gracefully?

Conan was gonna bolt to ABC or FOX, NBC didn't want to lose him, so he signed a contract saying that he would get the Tonight Show in four years.

Four years later Leno is still going strong. NBC feared Jay would go to ABC or FOX. Leno was going on Kimmels show as a guest just to say fuck you to NBC. ABC was going to get rid of nightline, put Kimmel at 12:30 and have Jay at 11:30. So they decided to put him on at 10.

So this way NBC doesn't lose anything except for 10pm drams and if Leno bombs at 10pm his image is tainted and if he goes to another network after that he might not be as strong.

[grlNIN]

Wow, so basically Leno looks like a dick no matter what.

[hammersavage]

Wow, so basically Leno looks like a dick no matter what.

Actually, Leno wins no matter what. They are such a disaster ratings wise, its unbelievable. He will cost less and get probably similar ratings to the horseshit they normally show.

That's what I call my biceps.

[Fallon]

It's the local 11 o'clock news who loses. They don't believe Leno will be a good lead in.

[hammersavage]

New set. I hate it. Band should be to his right and close.

CONAN!
ANDY!
WILL FERRELL!
NEW PEARL JAM!
WHAT A DEBUT!!!!!!!!!

[hammersavage]

Can a mod change this title to The Tonight Show with Conan O'Brien? Or Conan viewing thread

Here we go!

[hammersavage]

A very Conan beginning. Not toned down. Hilarious

[KnoxHarrington]

A very Conan beginning. Not toned down. Hilarious

That's what I'm thinking too: this opening is vintage Conan. Silly, a little surreal, very nice.

[KnoxHarrington]

Andy!

[hammersavage]

Nice to see the whole group back together.

I know its only an hour earlier, but it still seems surreal. It just seemed so far away.

String dance already, nice. Crowd seems like his audience, not typical Tonight Show.

[Sue_Bender]

Terrific opener!!

[Chob]

The opening bit was classic Conan. And I'm psyched they kept the old Late Night theme.
http://www.boardfromhell.com/imagehost/images/479_conan.gif

[hammersavage]

That Clippers joke should be a Knick joke. I hate that he's not in New York!

[grlNIN]

This is so strange to watch because it's different but it's still the same.

Why does Andy have a podium?

[KnoxHarrington]

"Do you have swine flu?"

:lol::lol::lol::lol::lol::lol::lol:

[hammersavage]

Andy should be giving a lecture in front of that thing. He better be on the couch.

[Ton80]

so glad max and the boys made the trip...and they kept the theme song. good game.

he seems pretty comfortable

[Judge Smails]

Andy should be giving a lecture in front of that thing. He better be on the couch.

He was on Stern this morning. He said he won't be on the couch.

[Ton80]

And I love Andy as the new Stuttering John.

[hammersavage]

900 people in there?

174...

[hammersavage]

Wow, great Octomom joke. I think thats the last of them though

[Reephdweller]

Love the opening, monologue, the return of Andy Richter, Max Weinberg, the new set, the classic Conan theme music, it's all good.

[Suspect Chin]

My first impression is that this show lineup idea might just work out. Hilarious so far, especially the Jay Leno impression he just snuck in.

[hammersavage]

I thought it was real for a split second.

[Suspect Chin]

There's no way he is going to have all these produced bits on a daily basis however.

[Suspect Chin]

Anyone flipping over to Letterman? Bill Cosby has lost it.

[Sue_Bender]

There's no way he is going to have all these produced bits on a daily basis however.


Well, he's had enough of a break.

There may be a few in the cue.

[hammersavage]

The first couple of weeks will have so many produced bits.


I want to see 'Away We Go'

[TheMojoPin]

There's no way he is going to have all these produced bits on a daily basis however.

He had them on a pretty regular basis on his old show. Usually at least a couple a week.

[Chob]

Will Ferrall stripping down and giving Conan a lap dance on the first show would be epic.

[hammersavage]

Ferrell is hilarious. And he's the funniest he ever is on Conan.

[Suspect Chin]

Will Ferrall stripping down and giving Conan a lap dance on the first show would be epic.

How about Will Ferrell coming down from the ceiling half naked and putting his balls in Conan's face?

It's never been done.


Can't wait to see it!

[Chob]

Only if Conan storms off the set.

[hammersavage]

I wonder if 'urinating on the flag' was uttered while Leno was there.

[Suspect Chin]

Will Ferrell did Conan a huge favor coming on tonight.

I compare it to the time Ronnie B called into the first live Special Delivery show.

[hammersavage]

I was told 'a couple' new Pearl Jam songs. There better be time!

[TooLowBrow]

I was told 'a couple' new Pearl Jam songs. There better be time!

That's objective.

An opinion, even.

[Ton80]

not so sure about that.

<-- kind of over wf

[Sue_Bender]

Why do the mixes always suck on NBC?

No direct soundboard to the viewing audience?

[hammersavage]

Sounds like an awesome song with a poor mix.

[Suspect Chin]

Why do the mixes always suck on NBC?

Sounds like they are playing in a high school gym using a guitar amp for vocals.

[Ton80]

I've interviewed a few musicians and they've told me that the sound sucks on shows in general because the bands have no control over the mix, and it's usually handled by union guys who couldn't care less.

[Sue_Bender]

That's exactly the cavernous sound I experienced. :happy:

It was crunchy guitars with "blah blah" vocals.

Yuck.

[Judge Smails]

Hey, Jimmy Fallon's on! Time for Aqua Teen Hunger Force on Adult Swim.

[Sue_Bender]

I agree.

However, I always found Leno's ass licking interviews (and monologue) unwatchable.

[Suspect Chin]

Jimmy Fallon looks terrified delivering his monologue.

Hey, Jimmy Fallon's on! Time for Aqua Teen Hunger Force on Adult Swim.


But he's supposed to be funny!!!

Well, Pearl Jam is the best live band I've ever heard so someone who does that job should be fired.

[Doctor Z]

A few thoughts:

* LOVED the opening segment with Conan running across the country.
* Strange not hearing Joel's voice opening the show.
* Max Weinberg & "The Tonight Show Band"?
* Will Ferrell kept his clothes on... I guess the first casualty of the 11:30 shift.
* Set looks terrific, except for that ugly stained glass behind the monologue. Looks like a 70's themed church.

Overall, happy to see the first show go smoothly. Always been a huge admirer of Conan. Sucks that he's not in NY anymore, but I think the LA show will be solid.

Also, thanks to Conan's lead-in, I'm tuning into Jimmy Fallon for the first time right now (probably not alone on that one)... and my God, is this show miserable. I tapped out after 15 minutes. Fallon is Late Night AIDS.

[hammersavage]

Never saw Conan on Letterman. Here it is:

it looks like the lobby of 30 rock but in blue stained glass

[RingWraith]

I thought it was a great start for the show. The studio audience was definitely a Conan audience. Also glad Andy is back as well.

Now I'm wondering when "Triumph" will make a appearance.

[TooLowBrow]

[pennington]

My observations:

He looked nervous during the monologue.

The running across the country bit was OK.

The Universal Studios tour guide bit was painful.

The Ford Taurus bit was unwatchable.

The Hollywood Sign "D" bit was harmless.

Andy Richter had nothing to do but it's only the first night. Keeping him behind that podium doesn't make much sense.

Max Weinberg wasn't on much, but again it's only the first night. I wounder if he would rather be on the current Springsteen tour.

Overall, at this point, I prefer Jimmy Kimmel. Too bad he doesn't come on until midnight but I guess that's not going to change since Nightline has been beating Letterman lately.

[grlNIN]

Ferrell is hilarious. And he's the funniest he ever is on Conan.

I am now starting to question things other than your sexuality.

[TheMojoPin]

The Universal Studios tour guide bit was painful.

The Ford Taurus bit was unwatchable.

I'm not going to act like they were the funniest things ever, but man, you have REALLY high standards if those were "painful" and "unwatchable."

[hammersavage]

I am now starting to question things other than your sexuality.

You prefer Ferrell on Leno?

[grlNIN]

You prefer Ferrell on Leno?

I prefer Ferrel on nothing, now.

[hammersavage]

[Reephdweller]

[Reephdweller]

Rodeo Rd is a funny segment

[styckx]

That Rodeo Rd bit was funny

[spoon]

Conan will be fine. I love his old vids when he went running around NYC, now we get to see him do it on the west coast. With all the fake assholes out there, it shouldn't be hard to get some good material.

A classic was his trip to China Town to find out why they're the only area in NYC that doesn't celebrate St. Patrick's Day. It all wrapped up with him singing Danny Boy at Hopkie and it was fucking hilarious.

[KnoxHarrington]

What was that about Conan toning down the show for 11:30?

[styckx]

The only thing I wish was that Andy was on the couch like the old days. I don't get the standing at a pedestal thing

[spoon]

They need to bring Andy back next to Conan if you ask me. It seems so unnatural with him at that podium, and he's just trying too hard. His back and fro with Conan in the early days was just so much more natural. I hope it can be recaptured.

[Suspect Chin]

Both of those licenses had the addresses of the studio where he works. How does that work?

As I do listen to ron and fez, I don't even post on this board because of it (to talk about it). Strictly off topic section for me and making sure retards know that they are exactly that. Ron and Fez are great, but if your off topic section sucks cock, and all the posts mainly go to listening threads and The Lounge (which is closer to being mantown then ever). The board will suck donkey cock.

Definitely one of Conan's best guests. He had good timing and can improvise. And as you saw with the meteor, will commit to a bit.

Green Day is sounding better then Pearl Jam did last night.


Also, loved that Tom Hanks took that fake meteor hit.

I actually haven't watched conan for a few years now. Before that I watched almost every day since 95 96 about? I'm glad to see he is going strong. I may have to start watching again.

[styckx]

Ok.. What does Andy Richter do on this show on air? I've got to imagine he's the crowd entertaining during breaks etc. He was on camera what? Twice?

brb, emailing Ron about this so he can mention it on the show. IT"S THE ONLY WAY THIS WILL GET FIXED!!

Good idea, you should add in that he should move back to the east coast too.

I bet his role increases once this first week and all the big time guests phase out.

I personally loved the Twitter burn because I cannot stand these people that think they are so important that anyone wants to know what they are doing every fucking minute of the day. Get over yourselves!

Conan could start ripping on twitter easily if they got creative with the "140 Character Limit". Would be a perfect door to test possible new reoccurring characters.

Speaking of which, I want to see masturbating bear once more.

But...but Palin killed him!

So far so good on the new show for Conan. You can tell their budget is much larger just by the graphics they used for the twitter bit. Whoever does that voice is always funny.

Tom Hanks ruled, Conan can really have some fun interviews.

[styckx]

^ Agree. Really enjoying the show a lot. Glad he's still himself, and the bands are the same genre. Sure it'll scare some of the older demo away but, it's a very modern show w/ a lot of class. Max and the band never sounded so classy as they do on The Tonight Show. It fits in soo well.

[spoon]

It is weird that it's not the Max Weinberg 7 though.

[Fallon]

I hated that name just because it was "Max Weinberg and The Max Weinberg Seven".

Should have just been "The Max Weinberg Seven".

[fezident]

I was reeeeally hoping that when Conan jogged into his new studio, CHEAP TRICK would be in there playing "Surrender" ... live... from the exact point where the recording left off.

That would've been funny, creative, and memorable.



I watch/watched the first 20 mins of Consey for years. Looking forward to the 11:30 version.

[TheMojoPin]

Definitely one of Conan's best guests. He had good timing and can improvise. And as you saw with the meteor, will commit to a bit.

One of my favorite moments on the old show was when he gave Hanks Hooch's skeleton for Xmas.

[grlNIN]

Rodeo Rd was really good. I heard some of Hanks as i was about to slee and thought it was good. I am glad i can now at least watch half of the show at night before bed.

[GreatAmericanZero]

i used to be an avid Conan watcher and then I just stopped...no reason, just one of those things

I started DVR-ing the Tonight Show now that hes hosting and I'm having a good time, set it for tonight too

I don't find it any different than "Late Night" but the slight change did seem to rekindle my interest in the show so thats cool

[ChrisTheCop]

As for The Max Weinberg Seven, I'm guessing they had a band meeting and decided to take the new name. I know many musicians who wanted to be part of The Tonight Show Band growing up; it just looks good on a resume.

And yeah, I feel kinda bad for Andy. All this yipee-ing about him being back, and he's just giving the thumbs up? That's gotta change!

I've liked the 1st 2 shows, although I feel kinda bad about turning my back on Dave.

Yes, but I'm not a chronic thread starter, so if something strikes my mind, I'll just say it wherever I'm at. Ronfez.net isn't exactly the bastion of staying on topic in threads anyway. Most are derailed by post 3.

It will be interesting in the sense that you've gotta think this is the kind of guest lineup he'll get on a regular basis, not like what he's gotten these first two nights.

You'll get a better feeling for what it'll be like on a "normal" night.

You don't derail threads out of nowhere with your own personal opinion about something completely unrelated. Up until this point, this thread was on topic.

Next time maybe take your unsolicited thoughts into a thread you create about the subject or just keep them on the DL.

Start a thread called 'Enough threads about that German lady'

It is sound advice.

There is a difference between brain farting in a thread that is already derailed and derailing a thread with your brain farts.

I am sorry to learn that you are unable to distinguish between the two. Seriously though, stop being a spaz, go waste the time you dedicated to defending yourself here and channel it into a thread with 100 views and 4 replies.

What did Katja have to do with this thread? Zilch. You chose out of nowhere to totally divert the thread for no reason. It makes even less sense since your complaint is there are too many threads about her...so derail another one to be about her? Just drop it now and take it out of this thread.

Ugh, only Tuesday and Thursday look remotely appealing to me. Major dropoff from the debut week, IMO.


So, now that it's done, which day of his debut week was the best for you? For me, it was clearly Tuesday with Tom Hanks and Green Day.

Personally, I would prefer more of the 1 main guest and 1 musical act deal. That leaves more time for his skits which to me are the best part of the show. I hate to say it, but his monologue has pretty much sucked.

[styckx]

New week, new shows. Bill Burr tonight too

[HBox]

Every part of Thursday's show is fucking awesome.

[Judge Smails]

Decisions, decisions:

Conan has Bill Burr.

Stern will be on Letterman. I heard him say this morning how he plans to badmouth Leno. It will be interesting to see how much, if anything Letterman lets him say.

And Colbert is doing his show from Iraq.
