Thank you. Thank you and welcome to my 2nd Annual first show.
Yes, I know what you guys are thinking, “Hey, it’s the guy from Twitter.”
Welcome to my new show, “Conan.” People ask me why I named the show “Conan.” I did it so I’d be harder to replace.
This is an exciting night. I’m glad to be on cable. The truth is, I’ve dreamed of being a talk show host on basic cable ever since I was 46.
And things are going well already. I’m happy to report that we’re already #1 in TBS’s key demographic --- people who can’t afford HBO.
I’m going to be honest: It’s not easy doing a late-night show on a channel without a lot of money and that viewers have trouble finding. So that’s why I left NBC.
But the weird thing is this: I put myself and my staff through a lot because I refused to go on at midnight. So I get this job at eleven. Then, yesterday, Daylight Savings Time ended --- so right now it’s basically midnight. In fact, it’s 12:05.
A lot’s happened in the news since I went off the air --- and I was hoping I could cover it all in one joke. But then I realized that’s like trying to keep an Icelandic volcano from wearing Lady Gaga’s meat dress while a trapped Chilean miner cleans up the BP oil spill…Brett Favre’s penis.
Reasonably funny. He seemed a little out of practice, honestly, but I like the overall format. I'm glad to see Andy is back on the couch - that was a major mistake in the Tonight Show, in my opinion. [Reply]
i thought it was good. First episode was just supposed to be about him and it was. Him singing at the end with that dude was pretty good. Like his intro and his monologue.
I was laughing my ass off when he was moving the moon. haha [Reply]

My kids are so used to it now, they get disappointed when they cant FF through something....
It actually frees up time, i can do other things in the early evening, start watching shows around 9PM, then be done in under two hours. Win!
Yes, exactly. There is only one show I watch regularly on commercial TV, Big Bang Theory, and the rest are football games. Amazing how much faster you can watch a game when you can eliminate the commercials. [Reply]

Agreed! I enjoyed his TBS debut as well. I thought the stoner bit with Seth Rogen was pretty funny too. It was so easy to tell he was baked off his ass. I'll probably continue to watch from time to time. Hell my fav. is Craig Ferguson and I don't even get to catch his show as often as I might like. That being said he and Conan are easily the best in late night talk shows in my opinion anyways and I do enjoy their shows when I have the free time to watch. [Reply]
