You Gotta LOVE Conan! - Page 5

Nothing ever made me laugh more than when the little gnomes attacked that old lady and a bucket of blood was splashed onto the wall.

Boiiinng · 01-27-2009, 10:37 PM

The Daily Show/Late Night brawls were the best ever.

**JBond** · 01-27-2009, 10:41 PM

I agree. I was very proud to catch (possibly) every one from all of the shows.

SiMsTaR · 01-27-2009, 10:56 PM

Oh my gosh I used to watch Leno and Conan like every night. Now days though I haven't watched them in months. Been to busy and tired...and slightly occupied with other things.

slinger · 01-28-2009, 11:06 AM

Ted Nugent, Dana Carvey and John Ritter with Conan for a cooking segment. The reference to John Ritter's testicle... gold.

Yeah, same here. I remember wondering, "How long are they going to keep this up?" It was hilariously awesome.

Yeah, we haven't seen Conan or Jay for awhile. Can someone let us know when Conan's last episode is, and Jay? Thanks in advance!!!

Max Weinberg won't be joining Conan when he hits L.A.

Step back from the guacamole dip. Put the chicken fingers down. Bruce Springsteen's drummer will stay that way for now.

It looks as though drummer Max Weinberg of Late Night with Conan O'Brien's Max Weinberg 7 won't be going to L.A. when O'Brien makes the jump to The Tonight Show this summer.

The New York Post breaks the situation down like this: Weinberg has too many ties to the East Coast and the E Street Band and moving to L.A. would just complicate things too much. Plus, his true bread and butter is playing for Springsteen and moving to the other side of the continent could cause a huge strain on him and his family.

The Post claims that Weinberg wasn't able to sell his big-ass estate in New Jersey (big-ass is an actual real estate term in New Jersey). He also hasn't had much luck finding a place to stay in L.A., which should tell you just how bad things really are in this country when even the band leader of a 12:30 late night show can't buy a decent home. Hunter S. Thompson was right.

But worst of all, Weinberg doesn't want to give up his season tickets to the New Jersey Devils. Neither does the New Jersey Devils, because he's their only fan.

I'm going to miss him and his stone cold stare...

Tornado · 02-06-2009, 10:45 AM

Damn.

I'm sure he'll drop by every now and then though. Are Jimmy Vivino and the rest of the band going, though? I haven't really been following Conan's departure, aside from watching the show.

Boiiinng · 02-06-2009, 01:14 PM

See, this is what I don't get. Why does the show have to move to LA? They're just moving time slots and changing the name of the show. There's no need to move it to LA.

They've already built a brand new state of the art studio. The top tier shows can't be in the same city fighting for guests (Late Show and Tonight Show). Maybe if it they figured out this Leno business four years ago they could've avoided it but NBC is relocating everything to the new studio, leaving Jay in his Burbank one.

I understand your point, but Jay will still have his show, so they will still be competing for guests.

Neverending · 02-06-2009, 03:52 PM

Conan is moving to L.A. cause the Tonight show has been there since the `70s. Why move it now? Yes...it sucks losing Max but it sucked losing Andy and we all got over that. No biggie, folks.

**JBond** · 02-06-2009, 04:21 PM

Damn, I guess this means no more "Small Talk Moments."

So how many episodes are left, I need to knwo when to starting watchign the last week or so.

sshuttari · 02-06-2009, 06:08 PM

2 weeks left

They will be working together on how they book guests, which doesn't happen with other shows.

Neverending · 02-09-2009, 12:45 PM

wow. we're in the final two weeks. Farewell, Mr. O'Brien and good luck at the tonight show!

sshuttari · 02-12-2009, 02:00 AM

I think last night, Norm MacDonald expressed the thoughts of a lot of television viewers.

He was a guest on Late Night with Conan O'Brien, and he started off by talking about how he started on Saturday Night Live the same year that Conan started on Late Night. Then he told Conan that it was "stunning how Jay Leno outfoxed you again." Conan tries to laugh at all of it, but you can sense it's sort of an uneasy, "oh no, where is Norm going with this?" sort of laugh. MacDonald says that everyone thinks Leno is the funny, high-pitched voice guy, but he's incredibly shrewd, because he beat Johnny Carson, David Letterman, and now Conan in the late night wars. "You're in good company."

The funniest part is when MacDonald reenacts a conversation that NBC had with Conan: "remember that discussion we had where you said I'll never have to f***ing follow Leno ever again?" Conan laughs again but quickly (and oddly) changes the subject to the bad economy. Video after the jump.

slinger · 02-12-2009, 10:08 AM

That was a great few lines but then Norm bombed the rest of the interview. Horrible. He made the cooking segment with Ramsey good though.

Tornado · 02-12-2009, 02:13 PM

Yeah, Norm's interview was kind of weird. Was there a reason he was on the show other than to just "pal" around with Conan?

ViRUs · 02-12-2009, 02:28 PM

I dont think so, that first part of the interview was funny with Norm though. Then with Gordon afterwards, actually that was a pretty decent show. Yesterday's with Fallon was just ok.

It doesn't look good if Fallon is laughing like that. How is he supposed to do comedy if he's going to do the same stuff he did on SNL? When Stewart and Colbert break its funny cause they keep a straight face for the most part but Fallon will be laughing everytime he says something funny.

**JBond** · 02-12-2009, 06:36 PM

I was thinking the same thing, the interview only reminded me. He's going to be laughing the whole time as host.

Although to be fair, Stewart has his fair share of breaking up, but it's still funny.

ViRUs · 02-12-2009, 06:54 PM

yeah, thats what I thought too. He laughed the whole time on SNL too, but that kind of made it funny too in my opinion.

I dont know, I'll still give Fallon a chance though. It will be interesting to see how he does on a talk show.
