Okay, so when is ILE going to pool their finances to get me a production job on a talk show so I can implement this abhorrent-yet-wildly-entertaining show?

am., how do you feel about the talk show aspects of the Daily Show (mainly Jon Stewart's interviews of various celebrities and politicians)?

BOOOOO!

n/a (Nick A.), Monday, 27 September 2004 19:14 (nineteen years ago) link

sometimes the non-celebrity segments of conan are funny, but lately (last 5 years?) he just seems totally exhaused and spent and bored

Thanks to the underdog timeslot and pedigree people see "edge" and more important, 'funny' that isn't there in COnan's show, never has been except sporadically. Letterman isn't cool to watch anymore but he still OWNZ(sp?).

tremendoidredcat, Monday, 27 September 2004 19:47 (nineteen years ago) link

jon stewart is a bad interviewer. he interrupts people all the time. it's annoying.

s1ocki (slutsky), Monday, 27 September 2004 20:51 (nineteen years ago) link

that's true - he hits most people with a barrage of questions but doesn't let them answer.

Kim (Kim), Monday, 27 September 2004 20:55 (nineteen years ago) link

I turn off the Daily Show when it hits the interview portion. They're just painful, super-awkward and rarely funny.

miloauckerman (miloauckerman), Monday, 27 September 2004 20:56 (nineteen years ago) link

But Stewart can be very, very funny whenever he makes an off-the-cuff joke. His interviews with actors (especially when they're on a similar wavelength) can be as entertaining as the rest of the show.

morris pavilion (samjeff), Monday, 27 September 2004 20:57 (nineteen years ago) link

maybe Stewart will get Letterman's spot if and when he ever retires

It means that NBC still doesn't realize that the small size of the Conan audience will kill Tonight

Dr Morbius, Tuesday, 30 October 2007 14:39 (sixteen years ago) link

the LA Times article that MSNBC one references, which sheds way more light on the situation:

haha, I went to a Conan taping in college a few years ago. Of course, there were a lot of tourists, especially from 666 Middle America 666. So Conan's doing his antics with one of the audience members, this big old lumbering guy you'd think was from like ... Illinois or something. Basically, Jay Leno's audience.

So Conan's gets up and starts dancing with the guy, and the guy realllllly reluctantly goes along. and then Conan gives him Max's drumsticks.

On the elevator after the taping, we're on there with that guy and he says to his family, "man, just when I thought I was gettin over my homerphobia" and then "and here I got those Mick Windberg fellas drumsticks." We get off the elevator and he throws them in the garbage.

I'm not sure how well Conan will do in Leno's slotttttttt. He shoulda just stayed really weird instead of trying to bridge the gap to blandsville, baby.

Leno doesn't get a Massachusetts priest stalking him...

Lafayette Lever hi wtf (ice cr?m), Tuesday, 9 December 2008 03:40 (fifteen years ago) link

haw haw, Conan's playing second fiddle to Leno again.

burt_stanton, Tuesday, 9 December 2008 03:43 (fifteen years ago) link

A show like this in the 10pm hour is actually a good idea. I just wish it was someone besides Jay Leno.

Johnny Fever, Tuesday, 9 December 2008 05:14 (fifteen years ago) link

Who are the people who actually like Jay Leno? Whooooo arrrrrre theeeese people?

Indiespace Administratester (Hurting 2), Tuesday, 9 December 2008 05:41 (fifteen years ago) link

How much of the 'too lazy to turn off the tv before they go to sleep' viewership share will he lose with the move?

mayor jingleberries, Tuesday, 9 December 2008 05:46 (fifteen years ago) link

uggggg make him go away

I just remembered this and was glad someone on Youtube had it: SHOOOOOOOOESSSSS!

Johnny Fever, Wednesday, 10 December 2008 08:51 (fifteen years ago) link

i watched jay tonight after yearsssss and he wasn't as bad as i remembered. conan otoh has been pretty shitty for a while now. he can be funny when he is outside of the late show format (uncensored). a tonight show thingy will be v. iuntersting to witness, because he kind of hates people. so so interesting. i'll sure be taking notes, don't know about anyone else.

Matt P, Wednesday, 10 December 2008 08:59 (fifteen years ago) link

Conan really isn't that funny anymore ... he hasn't been funny since, say, 2001 or 2002, with the mid-late 90s as his peak. Back then he was weird, sweaty, awkward, and depressed, and it was great.

dave hates people too. i thought it was a requirement.

also, why dave doesnt fire his writers, i dont know. hes almost as unwatchable as leno these days.

RADNESS UNLIMITED! (sunny successor), Wednesday, 10 December 2008 16:00 (fifteen years ago) link

i watch these shows sometimes and think what a mindfuck it must be to do this every day of yr life http://i35.tinypic.com/fc68h4.gif

puppy cam (ice cr?m), Wednesday, 10 December 2008 16:01 (fifteen years ago) link

dave is endlessly watchable and does not hate people, wtf are you talking about?

gabbneb, Wednesday, 10 December 2008 16:02 (fifteen years ago) link

http://i35.tinypic.com/fc68h4.gif dave totally hates people http://i35.tinypic.com/fc68h4.gif

puppy cam (ice cr?m), Wednesday, 10 December 2008 16:02 (fifteen years ago) link

Conan is still v funny at times and seems relieved that he doesn't have to do the big dumb show

gabbneb, Wednesday, 10 December 2008 16:03 (fifteen years ago) link

dave is endlessly watchable and does not partly due to the fact that he hates people, wtf are you talking about?

fixed

you are too dumb for this message board, btw

gabbneb, Wednesday, 10 December 2008 16:06 (fifteen years ago) link

i thought everyone knew that dave was a misanthrope

Mr. Que, Wednesday, 10 December 2008 16:08 (fifteen years ago) link

yeah i mean dave being mean to guests is the best part i just cant take another ham joke. admittedly i havent watched him maybe 2 yrs.

re conan. still v funny.

RADNESS UNLIMITED! (sunny successor), Wednesday, 10 December 2008 16:08 (fifteen years ago) link

the blow up doll choir gag last night wasn't too bad. Comparing him to his glory days is the problem, I guess

burt_stanton, Wednesday, 10 December 2008 16:11 (fifteen years ago) link

ive been starting to get back into these shows since they took mah stolen cable away and dave is still pretty funny - also craig ferguson who knew?!

puppy cam (ice cr?m), Wednesday, 10 December 2008 16:11 (fifteen years ago) link

two months pass...

Leno hasn't been funny in 20 years, but my God, Andy Richter's byplay w/ CO'B was the main reason to watch him.

Dr Morbius, Thursday, 19 February 2009 15:31 (fifteen years ago) link

You mean when he made this?
