Conan As Host of the Tonight Show


I have to say I am really enjoying Conan O'Brien as the new host of the Tonight Show. I had my doubts because I wasn't a big fan of Late Night With Conan O'Brien. He had some funny times. But he is just so much better on the Tonight Show. He has really stepped it up. Allen and I watched his first ep with guest Will Ferrell and Musical guest Pearl Jam. That was seriously hilarious. There was no awkwardness like the first Jimmy Fallon ep who I think is doing a great job as well. I love all the sketch clips he does. He did this one where he took the tram tour at universal studios but he took it to another level I was crying from laughing so hard!

Took it from the Hulu so there is an ad at the begining. So great hahahaha. Tonight he has Green Day as a musical guest and interviewed Tom Hanks who was pretty interesting with his impressions of people he knows and works with haha. There is one point where they were discussing Conans night background behind his stage and Tom Hanks suggest having meteors flying by in the background every so often. Conan says yeah I think we can figure out some thing like that. Then he asks one of the crew to cue the meteor and a giant foam meteor swings down and Knocks Tom Hanks over in his chair hahahahahah priceless. Unfortunatly there are no vids up of his 2nd episode yet or I would post some good clips.
Hahaha I found this animated gif randomly.
<--------Tom Hanks getting owned!!! lol
There's another sketch clip where he says he always hears how people dream of having a shopping spree on Rodeo Dr. in Beverly Hills. He says now that I am in L.A. I told NBC I want to go on a shopping spree on Rodeo Dr. on NBC's dime. They said no way but they did let me go on a shopping spree on Rodeo Rd. Which is in south central L.A. hahaha he went to some Urban style clothing stores and a wig store. What he ends up with is so fantastic especially because he is a very pale skinny man. I will update this post once I can get more content. All I know is the critics are saying he isn't doing well and that his comedy isn't strong and he is relying too much on pre recorded sketch clips. Why is it when critics review things they never have the same opinions as actual viewers. It's like that with a lot of movies and other shows. Critics will say something is awful and the rest of us totally loved it. Same situation here. A lot of people are lovin Conan. We loved Jay Leno and he was awesome as the host as well as Johnny Carson. And i'm sorry but those critics don't know what they are talking about most of the time. Conan is doing a spectacular job. I am laughing so hard everytime I watch. And I think they are really underestimating his capabilities. Keep up the good work man!!! And Jay I can't wait to see your new show!
