Thought: “Late Night” with Conan O’ Brien, final show from last night thoughts?

Leave a comment

Last night’s final “Late Night” show with Conan was a really good one. The show dragged on a little longer so Conan can do a long goodbye message doing all of these “thank you’s” and all that. Notice how in his goodbye message at the end of the show, there wasn’t one mention of Jimmy Fallon taking over his place soon? Weird. Conan was looking so nervous and emotional, he almost cried at the end of his speech, but then he lightened up quickly by saying something like, “taking over the Tonight Show will only get better”.

He had quite a career ride. Conan taking over Leno will not fail with ratings at all. This will only make Conan an even bigger of a star. A LOT more people will watch Conan now that he will be on an hour early soon.

I love Conan, been a longtime fan for years, I’ll be watching him on “The Tonight Show” when he makes his debut on that soon. I have no interest in watching Jimmy Fallon’s show. Unless, Jimmy Fallon has celebrities on his show that I’m a fan of, maybe I’ll watch it, but I’ll be watching Conan all the time still like I always had. It’s kind of sad that he will no longer be a New Yorker, but him moving to a different show is a huge opportunity for him, he will be more famous and big than ever.

Congrats to Conan, I’m happy for the guy. Usually I’m never this happy toward celebrities I don’t know about, but I am with Conan. He’s the fuckin’ man!

The White Stripes were really good too last night by the way. Jack and Meg are both looking great. The song they did was great.

Confirmed: The Max Weinberg 7 still going with Conan for new show…

Leave a comment

Conan fans! To those worry about if Conan’s move to the “Tonight Show” will get Max Weinberg’s band and Conan seperated, that is NOT going to happen. On last night’s episode of Conan O’ Brien, Conan made it clear that each member of the Max Weinberg 7 band are moving to California permanently to still do the “Tonight Show” with Conan. So that’s great news to hear! I can’t see these two apart ’cause that would be weird.

More unsanswered questions that still need to be confirmed about Conan’s new show:

1) Will he still have Triumph the Insult Dog?

2) Will his jokes still be as funny on “The Late Show”, will he be forced to keep his jokes Jay Leno style when he moves to the “Tonight Show”? (I hope not, I’m sure he’ll still be the same old Conan he’s always been)

3) Will the “Tonight Show” still let Conan talk to impersonator Arnold on TV

So much more questions that still needs answers.

I’ve been watching Conan O’ Brien all week, every night. Only 2 more episodes left, tonight and tomorrow, that’s it. The White Stripes have been confirmed as the musical guest of the show for Friday’s last show.

Report: Conan O’ Brien almost done with the Late Show…

Leave a comment

There has been many late night talk shows over the years. None of them have been funny and entertaining except for one who really is…that man, is Conan O’ Brien. In my honest opinion, he is the King of late night talk shows. Jay Leno has never been funny, Jimmy Kimmel has never been funny, Carson Daly has never been funny and Craig Ferguson is not even funny either. Conan O’ Brien is the man who knows how to make someone laugh out loud non stop, and he knows how to keep a smile on your face everytime you lay an eye on him. That’s how amazing of a man Conan O’ Brien truly is. The most entertaining late night talk show host since Johnny Carson, indeed.

After a 16 year long run on NBC late night, Conan is moving to California to take over “The Tonight Show”, to replace Jay Leno, which means America will get to see the most funniest man on TV an hour early. He maybe leaving “The Late Night Show” for good, but don’t worry folks, Conan is not dead and he won’t be leaving TV anytime soon.

As this article says, Conan’s been receiving goodbye gifts from famous rock stars, mostly gifts from legendary guitarists. Those who don’t know this, Conan is a musician, I believe he plays both electric and acoustic guitar, he sings too. Conan is also a drummer himself, I think.

Thanks for the entertainment over the years Conan, and we shall soon look forward to seeing you an hour early which will be awesome. We don’t have to stay up late just to watch him. I watch Conan every single night. One of my favorite shows on TV.

It didn’t take long for NBC to find a replacement for Jerry Springer to host, “America’s Got Talent”. Nick Cannon has been confirmed to be the host this year for the talent show. Those who don’t know who he is, he is the current husband of legendary pop star, Mariah Carey.

Thought: Springsteen was a let down, not very energetic…

Leave a comment

I wasn’t too impressed by Springsteen and the E Street Band’s performance at the Halftime show tonight. I love Springsteen but the song selection wasn’t that great. Jennifer Hudson was the musical highlight of the night, she did better than Springsteen. Sorry, just an honest opinion.

Edit: Another thing to add, Jennifer Hudson is the one who should be the Halftime performing act, maybe she’ll get the Halftime gig for next year?

Friday Night Lights – Season 3 premiere thoughts…

Leave a comment

Just got done watching the Friday Night Lights – Season 3 premiere. I’m so happy to see the show back. Just to give a quick brief review ’cause I don’t want to give out any story spoilers.

The show just got even better. 1st episode of Season 3 were better than the first two seasons. Acting of the cast has improved. Yep, the same actors in the same cast is back. Everybody is the same and has the same personalities except the girl who plays Tyra has a new hairdo and she looks a little older. Tim Riggins is still the same drunk who picks up a lot of girls. Coach Eric Taylor is no different either, the same old short tempered coach who does his best by keeping his team mates in good moods so they can win the football games. I’m glad the writers didn’t change the characters.

Hopefully the ratings will be good on the first episode. This weekend, I’ll keep an eye out for a ratings report to see how the first episode did. Hopefully Season 3 will be successful so there can be a Season 4. This show deserves to be on the air for a long time.

Report: The Muppets return to TV this Wednesday night…

Leave a comment

This Wednesday night at 8 p.m. on NBC, the peacock station will air ,”A Muppets Christmas: Letters to Santa”, which marks a huge return of the Muppets to TV. Will the show get strong ratings for this one? We’ll have to wait and see. I personally think this is a test to see if America still cares for the Muppets, since there is a new Muppet movie in the works.

I’ll indeed be watching since I love the Muppet characters and they deserve a huge comeback. The last few Muppet movies were terrible failures in the box office. Lets hope the new upcoming Muppet movie will live up to the “Great Muppet Caper” and “The Muppets Take Manhatten” which are the two best Muppet films.

Animal and Gonzo has always been my favorite characters out of the whole gang.

Does anyone out there enjoy the Muppets still? Sound it off in the comments below.

BREAKING NEWS: Jay Leno is staying put at NBC late night!!!!

Leave a comment

Just when everyone thought that Jay Leno is retiring from TV late night and leaving NBC studios, it seems that Leno changed his mind and the iconic talk show host isn’t leaving anytime soon!!!

NBC announced they will give Leno a deal where he can appear on NBC at the 10 p.m. hour. They also gave Leno a better pay deal as well. Leno is reportedly to make $40 to $50 million a year for his 10:00 p.m. slot. He’ll be able to buy more cars and motorcycles!!!

Jay Leno’s move will be similar to how he usually have his shows. You know, the usual making fun of news reports, interviews with two celebrities and a musical guest. Jimmy Fallon will take over Conan O’ Brien when Conan moves to an earlier hour on March 4th.

Variety Reports:

Jay will never retire, he’ll be doing late night ’til the day he dies. What a copout!!!! I don’t like Jay Leno that much and I was hoping that he would be gone but nope. I think Conan’s the best late night host, I watch Conan all the time. Conan makes me laugh, Jay doesn’t.

EDIT TO ADD: On a side note, the only reason NBC is paying Leno more is that they are doing whatever it takes to make him stay at NBC. NBC doesn’t want him to leave.
