No more Coco?

This was my first LOL of the week for me

I really enjoy Letterman because he has a dark and angry streak. Sort-of a cranky old man thing. And after his heart surgery, Dave pretty much said "Anything goes now."I really grew to like him during that stretch of time between Conan leaving "Late Night" and getting "The Tonight Show"

Dave's real strength is he's easily the best interviewer of any late night host, and seems to have more non-celebrity guests than anyone else. Dave also has had some great moments on his show that have also been serious (i.e. his show after 9/11 with Dan Rather, and his admittance of his extra-marital affairs). he's not afraid to speak his mind, and it seems CBS lets him.

Besides, he has "Lyle the Intern" and "Alan Kalter's Celebrity Interviews" and leads into Craig Ferguson.

Watch his interview of Paris Hilton. It's fucking hilarious. Also, some of his old-school stuff was just way off the wall. While sometimes he seems like an angry cat crawled up his ass and died (that's the angry streak Cassiel is talking about), I think he's far funnier than Leno, and certainly a rival to Conan, if not better.

It's official, from Jay Leno's mouth; tomorrow night will be Conan's last show.

So sad

So sad indeed beaky.

Thoughts on the last show? Couldnt find a thread.

That HAD to be hard for Conan, respect the hell out of him for doing it, somewhat surprised he took the graceful bow out, part of me wishes he coulda turned on more rock star for a more 'fuck you' exit, show some anger that you know is there. More the energy he displayed during the writers strike.

I did like the closing Will Ferrel performance, complete with cowbell, still a tad odd, Beck next to Billy Gibbons............

Overall the show was somber as hell I thought, everybody just kinda speechless, but trying to say something........

Theres something about this happening to Conan I find scary, the way American society is right now, so creatively narow-minded, reserved, same-ole traditional, too afraid to try anything new.......Conans never been afraid to blaze new trails...........now here comes Leno with his stale family-friendly 1-liners.............

Still, I believe Conan is the Phoenix, I look forward to his comeback............

I thought he was going to burst into tears when he gave his speech at the end. He was very graceful about it.

And Will Ferrell plays the best fucking cow bell EVER!!! I could not stop laughing at that.

i would liked to have seen triumph show up sometime during this week, but other than that, i think he did a good job with the time he had to end things.

and the fact that he stuck up for his entire staff, down to the janitors, not to mention that he brought so much of his staff with him from new york, has earned so much respect from me.

(hat tip to FejjO)

-TM

He fucking ROCKED that guitar! I knew he could play but I didn't know he could play like that. It was pretty hot!

Love it.
That was a truly awesome way to go out. It doesn't get much better than Will Ferrell banging on a cowbell.
But I'm still sad.

Sweet!

But it's still sad how bad NBC fucked this whole thing up. And I can't wait for the HBO movie with Tilda Swinton

Class act. His comments on cynicism were touching and so honest. He will have his fun on TV!

also, Artie Lang is an idiot-savant:

here's hoping coco gets a show opposite jay, and takes that motherfucker DOWN!
