March 10, 200917 yr So, for those who have watched it, what do you think so far? I'm not too into it... but I love the set. BUT, I remember the early Conan years and that was some rough stuff and he's really good now. So, who knows.
March 10, 200917 yr I finally got to see it last night and I give it a thumbs up overall. Yeah, there's some awkwardness but his wit is quick enough that it's funny
March 10, 200917 yr maybe because I expected a complete trainwreck and didn't get that, I give it a slight thumbs up. The parody of "The Hills" made me laugh
March 10, 200917 yr It's not bad, but let's be real. Fallon replacing Conan is akin to the 2006 White Sox replacing the 2005 White Sox.

Fallon replacing Conan is akin to the 2006 White Sox replacing the 2005 White Sox. oh no doubt. and it takes a long time to define your "Style". What you think works as a joke, might not play with an audience. So, over time, you tweak and refine.
March 10, 200917 yr He's got funny standup, but he wasn't very funny on SNL and I don't think he's a very good interviewer. Time will tell though.
March 10, 200917 yr Waaaay too early to tell. Give him at least a year before we see what he's all about...
March 10, 200917 yr That may be true...but Fallon comes from a more traditional performance background. Whereas Conan was more of a writer/improv. Conan could be whoever he wanted to be because no one knew who he was. Fallon is pretty well known, so his leash is probably going to be shorter.

Conan could be whoever he wanted to be because no one knew who he was. Fallon is pretty well known, so his leash is probably going to be shorter. The key to this show will be to carve it's own audience rather than trying to placate to Conan's. That, IMO, would be his biggest mistake.
March 10, 200917 yr I DVR'd a couple episodes last week and am doing the same this week. I liked what I saw so far. I love the Roots as his band.
March 11, 200917 yr The first episode wasn't great, but DeNiro is notorious for bad interviews. Jimmy's interview with Cameron Diaz cracked me up, and playing beer pong with Serena Williams was cool. I can see a lot of potential for this show, I'm glad we'll have Jimmy and Conan each day
March 11, 200917 yr Personally, I hope Fallon succeeds. I've always liked him but he picked some pretty bad roles in movies (aside from his Boston Red Sox movie), I thought that was pretty good.

March 12, 200917 yr QUOTE (Milkman delivers @ Mar 12, 2009 -> 12:50 PM) It doesn't surprise me at all, Shipps. Iam not surprised. Nor am I surprised that you didnt like it.
March 13, 200917 yr QUOTE (shipps @ Mar 12, 2009 -> 01:27 PM) Nor am I surprised that you didnt like it. It doesn't work in reverse? You didn't type "amI". Did you even notice my clever putdown? Edited March 13, 200917 yr by Milkman delivers

March 13, 200917 yr Last night fallon had the guys from diggnation on. And they are now attempting to make a random audience member last night the most followed guy on twitter which is currently Barack Obama. I think fallon taping into the internet is a great idea. Tons of people there.
