You gotten open up your heart man. It sounds like me that you reject his existence. I let him into my heart and he has shown himself to me. it has been amazing. I went to Winter Jam Thursday, and not only could I feel his presence there but it was just an amazing spiritual experience. This is why I can't stand religion or openly religious people. |

From what I have seen recently if you don't believe in some God, then you are ignoring the obvious. Really? I have the same, but exact opposite view on the subject. Believe what you want if it helps your life...but it just seems reasonable for there to be no god. |

I just hear the phrase "God loves his children" and can't help but laugh until I point out the fact that good people are consistently fucked over, murdered, etc. What God would do that to his beloved children? |

My reaction, taken straight from an AIM convo: OMGConanOBrien (12:43:55 AM): what the fuck is this OMGConanOBrien (12:44:06 AM): where the fuck is Conan OMGConanOBrien (12:44:48 AM): Conan needs to just walk out and slap the fuck out of every single person involved in this. |

I am watching Jimmy Fallon right now. Right away I have some observations.
Glad that is how it is going to be.
The set looks far too cramped but I feel I am just overreacting.
The Roots, yay.
The announcer looks like an illegitimate love child of Max Weinberg.
Fallon's monologue so far is weak. As far as I can see, he is trying to play off of Conan's whole theme of 'the show is terrible, but actually is good'. However, Fallon will have to work to bring the good. The random, un-scripted comments he has thrown in could be good and definitely appear to be his strong point.
More to come.

Well I watched the whole show through. I can only say that the show was less than great, better than what I had expected, and could end up being a decent show after some time. Fallon needs to calm down and not try so hard. Some of the jokes on the show were good, but the pressure is on the writers to get better skits. Space Train was just downright awful. However, I think you can work with that 'Lick for Ten' thing. If you take it out of the studio and into the streets of New York that can get pretty interesting.
The announcer is annoying and does not seem to have the same likability as some other late night announcers we find. This guy seemed like he is the understudy for The Price is Right. Hell, bring in Joel Godard. If Andy Richter is going to announce The Tonight Show with Conan, at least give Joel a chance. Joel can work well into jokes and is generally more likable. This current guy seems like he is an uptight relative who didn't get laid enough during college.
The Roots were good. The music they did was very nice and somewhat different than what we are used to on late night shows. However, I really enjoyed it and would like to see what the band continues to do on the show.
The guests were average at best and that is what I think some people will complain about. Being as this is a new show with no reputation, maybe that is why they took what they could get. If I am starting a talk show, Robert De Niro is pretty far down the list to be on the show. Don't get me wrong, he is a great actor but that setting really requires someone else. If you want to bring him on to talk about the film festival, have him be the second guest. Get somebody with a little more energy to start the show off.
Also, avoid a huge douchebag like Justin Timberlake. I am sure the idea was young people like him and that is who they are after. However, Justin Timberlake is just so self absorbed and seems that he has no idea the reason why he is even where he is at was by manipulating teenage girls a few years ago. Bring in a guy like Andy Samberg. He has the appeal to the younger audience and isn't a complete douchebag. In addition to Timberlake, I think Van Morrison was a bad choice. The man is a great musician, however, you want punch. You want to have a garage rock band that will just get everyone's blood pumping.
That is one thing I think I would say about the show. There were no times where I was on edge waiting for the next joke. When watching Conan, you always want to see what he will throw out next. With Fallon, that is missing. That isn't to say it isn't possible, I feel it just needs to be a collaborated effort between the staff, the writers, and Fallon himself to inject a pulse into the show.

The thing that I noticed most - Conan was always completely at ease with his cast and crew and became a master at playing off them. Fallon's interactions seemed tense and forced, and it was a huge detraction.

Well recall, that is how Conan was. That is why I think Fallon may end up alright once he gets that being a late night talk show host is different from his other gigs.

I'm On A Boat! The lyrics are hilarious. I'm going to listen to this song way more than I should. I met a slammin' hottie in Oxford this past weekend. She was actually hitting on me too (which is weird) and I was thinking "what's the catch" because she was actually pretty cool. Then I got the catch, she has a kid already at 18.  Then I went to another party, had some fun with this Filipino girl and ended up talking to this other girl all night. Been a while since I just met someone and talked for that long. It was refreshing. Too bad my best friend is all over that...I'm not that guy. |
