Conan's last show

[sahyder1]

Conan's last show in his current timeslot is on. Who else is watching?

[Maxx]

Hooray 1864 baseball, one of my favorite Conan visits ever.

[Gene Kiniski]

I thought that wasn't for a couple more months?

[livid]

I totally forgot about it. I was hyped to watch it but then got sidetracked by the Lakers/Hornets game.

But man, after tonight we'll have to wait until June to see Conan again. Not cool.

And Gene, the end of his run with Late Nite is tonight but he'll be taking over the Tonight Show in June. He's taking the next 3 months off to prepare for the move, etc.

JUNE!?!?!?!?!? WTH! Ah, I'm watching live for the first time, but man that's a long time.

[GhostMachine]

Yeah, no Conan until June after tonight. Jimmy Fallon takes over next week.

Personally, I think Jimmy Fallon may bomb. I could be wrong, though.

He moves out to LA after tonight's shop to prep for the Tonight Show.

[Maxx]

I imagine Fallon falling all over himself and laughing through interviews and monolouges will get old fast.

Ferguson will demolish Fallon.

[livid]

I'm being open minded about it. At least until I see a show.

He might be okay but that's as best as he can do as he'll have some huge shoes to fill.

I'm far from a music critic but does that qualify as music?

Amen. Ferguson is the main reason I predict Fallon bombing. And if Fallon acts anything like he did on SNL - especially the news segments - it'll be the biggest slaughter in U.S. history since Custer's Last Stand.

[Mr Evil Guy]

Man that show was intense. Conan. Like, seriously. Probably my favorite person on TV.

Craig Ferguson is great anyways. It always sucked cause I had to choose between him and Conan and Conan would always win. This is now much better for me.

I hope Fallon does good though. You know how big of a cunt he'll feel like if he trashes it? The eye shit on Conan the other week was bad enough. But yeah, here's hoping he does good.

I hate watching Ferguson cause I can barely understand him. Waiting til June sucks cause I leave for boot camp June 2nd. Which means I can't watch Conan until the end of August. That's too long.

I think Jimmy Fallon will do just fine, but I bet Ferguson will continue to grow in that timeslot and become the official 12:30 leader.

Conan's last show was great, I was thrilled that Andy Richter was on.

I'm planning to give Fallon a chance, but betting I end up watching Ferguson most of the time anyway.

However, I don't plan on watching Fallon his first week or two, beyond the first episode, because he'll need some time to get the kinks out.

[Universal]

I hope Ferg wins it at first. Fallon I will give a chance though, but Ferguson deserves it. He has vastly improved and his short run of putting his opening monologues on YouTube boosted his ratings considerably, so naturally CBS stopped doing it.

[gunnar hendershow]

And now my full conversion to Ferguson begins. Unless I hear from a bunch of people that Fallon actually is doing really well.

[PatDaMan]

I think Fallon's gonna bomb. He always comes off like a speed freak when he, you know, talks.

Fallon will not be to blame for Ferguson being the #1 at 12:30. If I'm not mistaken that's no longer a rare occurrence anymore.

As for Fallon, I definitely agree with you. A lot of people forget that Conan himself started rough and needed to improve a ton to get to where he is now. Fallon has the advantage of having much more experience in front of the camera and may have a much smoother learning curve. But yes, he has very big shoes to fill. Letterman, Conan, now Fallon. Late Night has one hell of a legacy.
