What are they going to call the band? Band with no leader 6? Max fit in so well in Conan's show.

Anyone know if I'll be able to watch it online? Because I won't have Cable at the time it comes on. And if I miss this I will just die. Also, I really don't feel like torrenting each episode every damn day.

I see TBS.com has full episodes for streaming on their site, but not everything. So will they be doing Conan?
 
Subbed. Not long to go now, can't fucking wait! I've decided to dress up as Conan for Halloween drinks here in Australia :lol
 
From what I've heard Max was pretty difficult to work with, and wasn't there a rumor way back when Conan was booted off the Tonight Show that Max wanted to stay because he felt it was more "prestigious" or something?
 
I don't get the Andy 'hate'. He is great with off the cuff humor and really got to show it at the end of the tonight show's run.
 
I only just caught up with all the new content on teamcoco.com today... the stripper promo was fucking incredible :lol Bley's West Cost (do I capitaise that? :/) blimp inside the office was hilarious, too.

It looks like the humour/writing should be fairly spot-on once it gets to air, give or take a week or two to find their feet.
 
DP, whatever.

I noticed that for the new promo, the whole thing (up until the car drives off, so far as I can tell) was done in one take... the speech, the fighting and the orchestra. Fucking kudos to Conan, seems like he'd struggle doing that sort of thing. Bet it took a fuckload of takes. And I noticed the pose/look he gave the camera at the end... like he's about to say something but doesn't :lol

Quick question: I don't know much about the US ratings, is there any way (even with a massive cable audience) that Conan can get anywhere near that of Leno/Letterman?

Nah. Maybe for the first night or so, but I doubt that.

Should I post this here? What the hell.
Jay Leno’s Tonight Show Ratings Stay Below Conan’s

Eat shit, NBC/Leno.

Getting near it? Really shouldn't be that hard. In the 18-to-49-year-old group, which is all advertisers care about, Leno and Letterman are both scoring about a 0.9 or 1.0. Meanwhile, on Comedy Central, same type of basic cable deal like Conan's TBS, The Daily Show and Colbert Report usually score an 0.9 and 0.7 respectively. Comedy Central is arguably a smaller channel than TBS is, so I'm pretty sure that Conan could pull similar ratings. And thus, get near to/beat Leno and Letterman.

Depends how long NBC keeps Leno on air.

If it is feasible and he does come close, it would be great vindication given that he's on a cable network. I'll sadly have to resort to other means though, as I'm sure there won't be any channels in Australia picking Conan up :(

The what? :lol


I wouldn't be surprised if the Comedy Channel does pick up Conan, they've ran his Late Night / Tonight Show run a day behind for god knows how long, plus they've got all kinds of different talk shows, I'm sure they could show Conan if the audience is there, which I beleive it would be.
 
Do we know who his first guest will be? Hopefully it's Tom Hanks and/or Will Ferrell. Can't wait to see how he opens it. He always does an amazing first show opener.

When he got Late Night it opened with him walking to work while everyone kept telling him he'd better not suck.

When he got Tonight, he overslept and had to run all the way across country to get to the set.

Cannot wait to see what he does this time. My girlfriend thinks I have an unhealthy obsession with Conan. I'm pretty sure she's right.
 
I had a dream last night that I was finally watching the new show, and Steve Urkel was Conan's sidekick. And he never shut up, it ruined the show and everybody hated it.

Sounds like a Family Matters episode plot.
 
The Conan band is officially "Jimmy Vivino and The Basic Cable Band". Descriptive, hah.

http://www.hollywoodreporter.com/blogs/live-feed/jimmy-vivino-will-lead-conan-31426
Jimmy Vivino, former associate music director, guitarist and vocalist for The Tonight Show with Conan O’Brien and Late Night with Conan O’Brien, will serve as O'Brien's bandleader for his new TBS series.

Jimmy Vivino and The Basic Cable Band will include Scott Healy (keyboards); Mike Merritt (bass); Mark Pender (trumpet); Richie “LaBamba” Rosenberg (trombone); Jerry Vivino (saxophone, woodwinds and vocals); and James Wormworth (drums).
Conan debuts Monday, Nov. 8, at 11 p.m.

Was Wormworth the guy who filled in for Weinberg while on tour who was always smiling? Yeah, he was cool. I wanna see more Mark Pender/lookalike bodybuilder skits as well :lol
 
Is great to see Conan coming back, but the commercials have passed the point of irritation and are now just fucking tedious.
