Conan to be on TBS: Very Funny?
Posts
I don't know about the whole job/economy angle, but I did think the jokes about the nbc situation were excessive. we all know what happened. it just came off as bitter and it would have been nice to start the new show on a more positive note. but also it was the first episode and I guess he just wanted to get a little more off his chest. I just hope it's the last we hear of it.
also, love the return of andy.
Because they're always funny.
I think he used enough and didn't make the whole episode center around NBC.
TBS are much smarter people. The episodes go up almost immediately, are intelligently catalogued for the segments, and it appears old episodes won't be rotated out.
Where as you had to wait 1 or 2 weeks before a Conan show would be up on NBC.com, and you had to seek around to find the segment you were looking for.
Wasn't last year the height of Hulu fighting with everyone, though?
Also: Damn at his ratings last night. I hope he can hold onto it for a bit, just to rub it in... but I'm sure people will go back to what they were watching before.
Nah. I remember watching a few episodes and they had them broken up by segment the very next day.
I'm just watching clip by clip, and that was the first thing that jumped out.
That seemed really odd to me too. Nothing else really jumped out like that though.

Conan is not rich as fuck, as you say. He could probably retire, but he'd live most likely a middle class existance. He's not hobknobbing with Puffy and Donald Trump.
...what? He got $45,000,000 to walk from NBC. With that and whatever he's earned from hosting forever he's got to be close to $100m.

Crazy good.
He had to move from NYC area to LA during the middle of a housing crisis. Also, that $45 mill included a lot of money he passed directly on to his staff to keep them from being fucked over in the interim.
He may have some money saved, but the circumstances of the move and having to help out his staff may have left him more tapped than you'd naturally assume.

Yeah
...
Just... yeah
That was a bit. As in it was staged and rehearsed. How could anyone not know that?
Also iirc Conan got his employees a severance package in adtion to his own.
Well there's your first problem: Morning Joe isn't actually a news program.
Uh, wut?
There's a 0% chance that Tom Hanks wasn't in on that gag. Conan didn't "do" anything to him because Tom was in on it the whole time.
that is pretty naive
But MAN, Andy's got his shit together now! I haven't seen last nights episode yet, but in Monday's show he was awesome. I think I laughed more at Andy's jokes then Conan's.

Oh god. It's like those idiots that were screaming that Conan was an asshole for wasting NBC's money with those "How much money can we spend" skits in his last week.
Oblivious that they were fucking skits
That slayed me.

Not to mention NBC was where he buttered his bread for years, but since he took his stand he'll probably never work for them again. I mean he's probably missing out on some good money by taking the stand he did, which is doubly impressive when you stop to remember he's a family man with wife and kids.
