The Wait is Over: Will You Tune in To Conan O'Brien's New Talk Show on TBS? - Sitcoms Online Message Boards

Brian Damage · 11-07-2010, 04:26 PM

Will you watch? Do you care?

Adamantium · 11-07-2010, 06:31 PM

YES!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I got cable mainly for "Conan." I know I can probably watch it online, but I still wanted to get cable for this. Makes it more special that way.

Now I'm hooked on an oldies channel. All oldies music, all day long... Channel 924.

more than likeley i will tune in ive really missed him

HuntingtonM15 · 11-07-2010, 08:27 PM

Definitely not. Nothing his show could offer will compare to Chelsea Lately.

TV Knowledge Fan · 11-08-2010, 04:54 AM

Certainly! I was "there" for his first and last "LATE NIGHT", and his first and last "TONIGHT SHOW"- and I wouldn't miss his first TBS show for anything!!! {now the question is, how long do I have to wait for the last show this time?

I've been looking forward to watching Conan again--wherever he would wind up--since January. My wife and I will definitely be watching. Whether we'll be staying up until midnight tonight or watching it tomorrow on our DVR is yet to be determined!

robyrob · 11-08-2010, 12:21 PM

i will be checking it out, but I probably wont be a regular viewer, more likely to watch depending on the guests.

Here is a transcript of Conan O'Brien's opening monologue at tonight's premiere of his latenight show on TBS:

Thank you. Thank you and welcome to my 2nd Annual first show.

Yes, I know what you guys are thinking, “Hey, it’s the guy from Twitter.”

Welcome to my new show, “Conan.” People ask me why I named the show “Conan.” I did it so I’d be harder to replace.

This is an exciting night. I’m glad to be on cable. The truth is, I’ve dreamed of being a talk show host on basic cable ever since I was 46.

And things are going well already. I’m happy to report that we’re already #1 in TBS’s key demographic --- people who can’t afford HBO.

I’m going to be honest: It’s not easy doing a late-night show on a channel without a lot of money and that viewers have trouble finding. So that’s why I left NBC.

But the weird thing is this: I put myself and my staff through a lot because I refused to go on at midnight. So I get this job at eleven. Then, yesterday, Daylight Savings Time ended --- so right now it’s basically midnight. In fact, it’s 12:05.

A lot’s happened in the news since I went off the air --- and I was hoping I could cover it all in one joke. But then I realized that’s like trying to keep an Icelandic volcano from wearing Lady Gaga’s meat dress while a trapped Chilean miner cleans up the BP oil spill…Brett Favre’s penis.

it was great to see him again even though he was a bit rusty he was still much better on this show than he ever was the whole 7 months of his tonight show run more like the late night conan rather than the tepid watered down conan that nbc forced him to be in jays old spot

Adamantium · 11-09-2010, 12:03 PM

I really enjoyed his first episode. Everything seems right with the world again. Conan's back on TV. I like this set better too (than the Tonight Show set).

On a side not, my boss was doing a nerd impression, supposed to be of me. He was just goofing around, he likes me. Then he said "Dear internet." I asked him if he was a Conan fan and sure enough he is, lol. It was nice.

I don't know if this was just for the debut night or if it will always be like this, but they reran "Conan" at 1am.

AKA · 11-09-2010, 01:34 PM

I thought it was great, though (as mentioned above) Conan was a bit rusty. But ten months off the air will do that to anyone.

The show has a decidedly more Late Night feel than Tonight, up to and including the new set. And it was great to see the cameo by our favorite impulsive bear!

And how about that cold opening? Pretty epic!

Loved the opening segment when he was "interviewing" with Don Draper! LOL!
