Imma gonna make a topic about a show I can't watch on TV.
VIDEO: Conan O’Brien’s Return to Late Night Gets Taiwanese Cartoon Tribute (http://www.movieline.com/2010/11/video-conan-obriens-return-to-late-night-gets-taiwanese-cartoon-tribute.php?utm_campaign=outbrain&utm_campaign=ml_rsssynd&cmpid=outbraind_ml_rsssynd)
Conan' Premiere Beats Leno, Letterman (http://www.hollywoodreporter.com/blogs/live-feed/conan-premiere-beats-leno-letterman-43317)
Conan O'Brien is enjoying a sweet, sweet victory in the ratings.
The TBS premiere of Conan has soundly beaten NBC's Tonight Show with Jay Leno on Monday night.
Conan drew 4.2 million viewers, which is very impressive. What's more: 3.3 million of them were adults 18-49.
By comparison Tonight had 3.5 million viewers, with only 950,000 of his audience in the demo.
Late Show with David Letterman had 3.4 million and 1.3 million.
O'Brien also trounced Jon Stewart and Stephen Colbert, as expected (see chart below).
As rivals are sure to point out, the series premiere of a new late-night program is almost always victorious, people want to chell out the new show. O'Brien's Tonight on NBC dropped more than 50% from his premiere within a week. It's still an accomplishment, however, anytime a cable show beats broadcast.

'Conan' gives audience the moon in cable debut (http://articles.cnn.com/2010-11-09/entertainment/conan.debut_1_team-coco-tbs-show-conan?_s=PM:SHOWBIZ)
-
So far this show is pretty much exactly like it was during his run as Late Night and the Tonight Show.
-
And thanks to this show I now know what a Tokyo Sandblaster is....I wish I didn't, but I do.
-
I have no idea what that is.
-
Google brought back to many different results.
-
Well if what I found is true...what is is when someone with diarrhea farts in your fact. The Tokyo comes the fact that your eyes squint like an Asian when you get hit with shit particles.
And if that it is really what it is, I can't believe the stuff some people are able to talk other people into letting them do.
-
someone with diarrhea farts in your fact.
I am not correcting you this time, I sincerely find this mistake hilarious. I am imagining a man stating something very important, and a young woman running up and making a mess of his podium.
-
Yeah, Face...sorry.
I probably was thinking about if what I had read was true, IE: fact. So that slipped in there in because of it.
-
You know what the problem with me correcting you is? I look like a jackass. I just want you t know, it's because I care.
-
so...is the show worth watching?
-
I enjoy it.
-
You know what the problem with me correcting you is? I look like a jackass. I just want you t know, it's because I care.
That's because you are. Don't fight it. You can't help it. You were born that way. Don't let anyone tell you different.
And yeah I like it too. It's really good. But then I liked this work on the Late Show and The Tonight Show.
-
I thought Thursday's episode was especially delightful.
-
I thought Thursday's episode was especially delightful.
I pictured you drinking tea out of fine china with a raised pinky when I read that.
-
Me and Kary watch football with fine tea out of Imported Japanese stoneware.
-
That is quite possibly the most elaborate sex metaphor I have ever encountered.
-
If that's the case, I have no idea what they're doing.
-
It sounds complicated.
-
And boooo...no Conan on Friday? What the Fuck? I guess Lopez tonight doesn't run on Friday either, but I didn't know that cause I wouldn't watch that shit if you paid me.....
Well maybe if you paid me, but only cause I need the money.
-
Being saved one day of Lopez Tonight should cancel out the loss of one less Conan a week.
-
It would if I ever stuck around to watch it, which I never do. I mean he's thanking the musical guest and I'm already looking for the remote.
-
Yet another Lopez who inexplicably has a thriving career.
-
Hey, they bring that Latin juice that quenches the thirst of the masses. Or something.
¡Ay ay ay!
-
1. Move Lopez Tonight to Arizona.
2. Playfully hide all identifying documentation.
3. ???
4. PROFIT
-
They won't deport Slater, not even in Arizona.
-
We won't know until we try.
-
I'll only go along with the plan if we can get them to take Dustin Diamond too.
-
Is Slater still a thing? Does he still do stuff?
I saw him once back when Conan had his old show, and he was all, "Look at my Latin muscles. You can have Latin muscles like me if you buy my book about Latin muscles."
But I didn't.
-
Latin muscles are gay.
-
I hear the hairs on Latin muscles naturally grow into the shape of Zorro's mustache.
That's just what I hear.
-
Not these days and with easy access to wax.
-
Wait. So... wax to remove the hair, not wax to shape it, right?
Because with shaping wax, anyone could have Zorro's mustache on their muscles. But that would be cheating.
-
Or a little Lighting Bolt.
I keep going back to the Lighting Bolt...no idea why.
-
Wait. So... wax to remove the hair, not wax to shape it, right?

To remove. Although I was able to shape Zorro's Z in my armpit with a pair of tweezers and strategic plucking. Hijole!
Or a little Lighting Bolt.
I keep going back to the Lighting Bolt...no idea why.
Bestial love affair with Bolt.
-
No...that has Miley Cyrus in it. I could never love anything with that in it.
-
Not even Billy Ray Cyrus?
Okay, okay, yes, that was terrible.
-
When you said Bolt, I immediately thought Silverbolt from the AllSpark and HotF. Toe used to call him Poonbolt because he was always bragging about how much he got laid.
He posted pretty irregularly, even back then, so you might not recall the guy.
-
Toe used to call him Poonbolt because he was always bragging about how much he got laid.
Dude, is THAT why? I thought it was because he was a pussy or something. :lol:
-
Ahahaha! Nah, man. He was like...
You ever watch Jersey Shore? I don't, but I hear them talked about enough to be somewhat familiar with the cast.
Anyway, Poonbolt would have been like the proto-Situation. He was the Situation before the Situation reared his ugly head.
At least, that's the vibe I got from him. He seemed okay though. Never came across as an asshole or anything.
-
I have never seen any Jersey Shore. Sadly, I still know who that is.
-
So is Conan still doing good? I hope he is, he was funny as fuck in his old show.
-
It's certainly better than him trying to be someone else when starting on the Tonight Show, but doesn't have the manic energy and disregard for authority of those last few weeks.
I'd say it's on the same level as his Late Night stint. It's bumped The Daily Show from my nightly schedule. Sometimes Colbert too, depending on who the guests are.
-
I hope he keeps growing the beard to reach ZZ Top levels of ridiculousness.
-
That would be sick! And he could braid it like a Viking and shit! :happy:
-
I'm catching up on the episodes I missed last week and, man, I'm probably too old to have celebrity crushes, but I'd do crazy, awful, horrible things for Ms. Rosario Dawson.
-
You are never too old for a crush, especially not one on her.
-
And your crush is never told old for you, just like me and Betty White.
-
You and the rest of the followers.
-
Look, I'm sorry Bea Arthur's dead but haters don't always gotta hate.
-
All the Golden Girls are dead except her...it's like all the Beatles being dead except Ringo. I mean what's the point!
-
Excuse me, but all Golden Girls were golden! There were no weak links like with the Beatles. :fingershake:
-
Sure, sure...you keep telling yourself that.
-
It's reality and you should learn to accept it.
-
It's your opinion and Bea Arthur out shined the all. I mean she didn't have some cheap gimmick like being a whore or an idiot to make people laugh. She just had herself and her penis, and that was all she needed.
-
And that paddle game. And the remote control. And that lamp. But that's ALL she needed!
-
The penis WAS her gimmick.
-
It's not a gimmick if you were born with it.
-
Of course it can be.
-
You are just trying to downplay her natural talent and I won't let you sully her memory like that.
-
Then how about we go sully her corpse!?
-

Yo Rama, I'm very happy for you, I'mma let you finish but Betty White was the best Golden Girls of all time!
-
Look I'm talking about a fine upstanding transgender woman and you two have to go make it dirty with talk of necrophilia and Kayne West.
-
Yo Rama, I'm very happy for you, I'mma let you finish but Betty White was the best Golden Girls of all time!
+1 Faye-Faye

You know I think I got unfriended on Facebook for what I said about Rosario Dawson on Conan. I guess it was too dirty. The irony is it was by a chick that sat in front of me in art class and talked about how wasted she'd get and then blow her boyfriend. People done changed since high school. Oh well I had blocked her feed anyway.
-
I don't remember seeing that. What did you say?
-
Ummm I think something along the lines of "I almost saw Rosairo Dawson's promised land on Conan last night." Which if you ever post that yourself, be prepared to have many of your friends send you screen grabs from Alexander. It was a little better with the mystery I must say.
Anyway I got defriended by her not long after that. But like I said I didn't notice for awhile because I had already taken her off my feed. She is married to a Marine...and he got deployed. I know that sucks ok...but I don't need to read 5 facebook posts a day for two weeks straight about it. Especially when you bring NOTHING else to the table. The only other thing she posted was Jesus stuff, I guess she found Christ in the last ten years cause she went around bragging about being Wiccan when I knew her. I mean if I need to hear how I don't get enough Jesus in my life, I'll just ask my Mom or my Aunt to do it.
-
Hey, that's what being in my family is like as well!
-
I lost a friend and don't know who it was, so I feel a little guilty.
Actually n/m, I remember who it was but he also unfriended our other friend, so either he did a mass-unfriending or he deleted/closed his profile for a while or something.
-
I lost Robert Z'Dar awhile back, but I think he closed his account.
-
What kind of name is Z'Dar?
-
Might be a stage name. The guy was in a bunch of B-movies. I friended him almost as a goof and he accepted. I was actually shocked, cause as far as I know it was the real dude and not some fan site or something.
Edit: It is a stage name. Real last name is Zdarsky.

HAHAAHAHAHAHAH they are all bitches, dont worry. A couple of people also unfriended me and I dont know the reason...the only thing that could have offended them, if its even their damn business is that I had the pic of me in a bikini on my profile for a while, even after giving birth so maybe they thought a mom shouldnt have that pic in there? I dont know and I dont care. Haters gonna hate
-
Haters gonna hate
No matter what, no matter where I see this, I always read it as a serious country hick saying it.
-
I read it as a ghetto bad ass mothafucka saying it. I like my version better
-
Mine makes me laugh, yours makes me want to abort full grown adults.
-
Ditto.
-
Mine makes me laugh, yours makes me want to abort full grown adults.
We are not in the matrix. Stop trippin'
-
I am not trippin you must be.
-
My friend came back. :) He must've closed his profile and then reopened it I guess.
-
Charlie from Its Always Sunny was great on Conan this week.
