Notice she didn't mention any type of intellect for her perfect man.

"Physically, what are you looking for in a guy?", was the question.

Not that I'm trying to justify their presence on the show or anything mind you :lol

It was strange, they were all separate people but they sounded like one single creepy entity, often even laughing in perfect unison.

Were they blinking in unison?

I still don't really know what they are.
 
I was going to say I'm surprised that some of you haven't heard of jeggings... but then I remembered the lot of you don't interact with females. *rimshot*

Seriously though, I love jeggings on a female. Dem curves. There is a downside, though: they're a pain in the ass to slide off of them. It's basically a team effort in the heat of the moment. :lol

I can't help that I prefer the company of men. I only knew about jeggings pre-Conan shenanigans because I work in retail, and occasionally around clothing.

Yeah they were terrible. I was thinking Kim sounded the most balanced until she went into her perfect man rant.

And can we change the fucking thread title already? This thread will be around for years and we are stuck with Conaw? I do not even get the reference and I have been keeping up with this whole debacle since Conan took over for Leno.

Anyway this was a really good week despite some weak guests. I think it was consistently better then the NBC show and they seem to be getting their shit together.
 
Although I hate Leno with a deep and furious passion, Louis Ck was on last night and I was forced to watch. Luckily Leno did nothing as Louis ranted for 15 minutes and it was AWESOME.
 
Am I the only one who has just now noticed that the intro animation in the credits is different almost every episode? That's so awesome! Sorry if it was mentioned, but I wouldn't have noticed it for a while if I hadn't heard the "BOIIIING" in Thursday's episode of the car being flung into the air as they drove home to catch the show.

So goood.

There was that... and I also think they have specific bits depending on who they have on. I noticed that Kevin Nealon and Joel McHale's names both appeared on a silhouetted TV, while Tim Gunn's name appeared after a clothes rack popped out. They may all be different depending on whether they're from TV/music/fashion/sports etc.

I'm tempted to watch the credits from every show now to check :lol

PS. Deon Cole parking in the B. Willis spot :lol I'd think that Time-Warner letter was a setup but it did seem like the sort of thing that is completely plausible, too. Easy enough to do throwbacks to that joke over the next few months as well.

PPS. That Kardashians thing was PAINFUL. Still had to watch because Kim is fucking stunning and, well, dem everything, but I at least thought the interview would have gone better than that. Next time someone like that is scheduled to come on, Conan should try and get Norm to come on as well.

BOX OFFICE POISON :lol
 
Double-post, whatever. I can't believe I've only just spotted the resemblance (and someone had already noticed before I did, this was from Google :lol )

Edit: Also just found this out, from the Conan wiki:
The new theme song was co-written by bandleader Jimmy Vivino, and O'Brien himself.

No idea if he had anything to with the others or not, but writing the current one is pretty fucking awesome.
 
Just on the Kardashian interview - I found it funny that Kim was trying to act morally superior to her sisters when the reason she is famous is because she was in a sex tape.

The tape itself?
 
I have a shitload of respect for Tim Gunn. Every time I've seen him interviewed for anything he's been entertaining and fascinating without being the slightest bit annoying. Kudos to him.
 
I've seen every episode so far (skipping a few interviews with people I don't care about here and there), and I must say I couldn't be happier with this show. I especially love being able to catch up with everything online.

I'm never bored while watching it, and it is one of the few programs that makes me laugh consistently. My love for this man is much higher than I ever thought it could be

You echo my sentiments. Looking back now I can't help but feel that Tonight may not have been the right place for Conan. I know he always wanted to do it since watching Johnny as a kid, but it's just not the same anymore. The networks have changed the viewers have changed and I think Conan's respect for the show and trying to cater to everyone really limited his style and comedy. I see his show now and I think "YES", I am really glad to have the old Conan back.

He is really enjoyable to watch.


Also I just saw a commercial for Conan that used the recent jeggings bit. Those legs could sell anything.
 
I'm enjoying the show a lot, but I do wish they'd go more of those 'wacky' sketches they used to do all the time on Late Night.

Conan's writers have always been better at doing that type of humour - masturbating bear, evil puppy, cactus playing We Didn't Start the Fire on the flute, Preparation H Raymond that whole weird running gag where the writer who is Preparation H Raymond would canoe down the stairs of the studio and they'd cut to a clip of someone falling off a cliff. Even the Walker lever fits into this.

And Conan is at his best when ad-libbing, which he usually has to do because those wacky sketches fall over a lot :lol

Wham, exactly.

Show's mediocre right now. I like the guy though. Seeing him on tour was one of the better live things I've ever been too.

I think the fact that his show is still incredibly hilarious despite the seemingly lengthier (and pretty weak) monologues is just a testament to his brilliance. While his sketches are undoubtedly great, his monologues are just as good to me by how funny he can make completely lame and predictable jokes seem

I don't watch the show for the writing, I watch the show for the host
 
I wonder if we can get Conan to address the fact that his intro music sounds like Super Mario Bros 3 music. The background from his Tonight Show set looked like a Mario bros level too. Someone must be a fan.

It all makes sense now!
Hank Scorpio: Uh, hi, Homer. What can I do for you?
Homer: Sir, I need to know where I can get some business hammocks.
Hank Scorpio: Hammocks? My goodness, what an idea. Why didn't I think of that? Hammocks! Homer, there's four places. There's the Hammock Hut, that's on third.
Homer: Uh-huh.
Hank Scorpio: There's Hammocks-R-Us, that's on third too. You got Put-Your-Butt-There.
Homer: Mm-Hmm.
Hank Scorpio: That's on third. Swing Low, Sweet Chariot... Matter of fact, they're all in the same complex; it's the hammock complex on third.
Homer: Oh, the hammock district!
Hank Scorpio: That's right.

I'm sure they will. It's only 3 weeks into the new show. Your bringing up 17 years worth of material, and thinking they did them all the time. They're moving at pretty much the same pace. We've had the blimp bit, and I don't think you get wackier than stalking Gary Busey.
