Shock. That was the general reaction in the TV broadcastisphere this Monday afternoon as news quickly spread that one of Lampoon’s most illustrious alums, the red-headed stepchild of Late Night, Conan O’Brien, will not be taking his act to FOX, but to TBS.  After heaps of speculation that began during the most recent late night wars, Coco is indeed getting a new show, just not the one anyone else expected.

It was all but a foregone conclusion that come fall when his agreement with NBC stipulated Conan could again take to …

Dear Leno,
I know you’re busy with this late night drama, but I just want to remind you of what you said in 2004, since it seems you have forgotten this:

Jay Leno rules late night. He’s not the funniest. (or funny at all in my humble opinion) He’s not the brightest. His voice sounds like tribbles copulating in a gunny sack, and he’s weird-looking to boot. Yet somehow, he’s managed to oust both Letterman and O’Brien from the halls of NBC. How does he do it?
Old People.
You might think that Leno attracts old people because his humor is edgeless and about as subversive as an episode of Leave it to Beaver.  There’s more to it than that. It’s the way …

Conan O’Brien, master comedian of late night comedy whose shows have brought us such joys as The Masturbating Bear, Triumph The Insult Comic Dog, In The Year 2000, and Twitter Tracker may very well lose The Tonight Show a mere 7 months after first sitting behind the epic desk.
For those of you who live under a rock or are Amish, NBC has cancelled Jay Leno’s insanely stupid primetime show at 10 p.m. and are moving him back to 11:30 for half an hour. Therefore, NBC wants to push Conan …

Craig Ferguson, the best late night host on television, celebrated his 1000th show. Now, if you’ve ever seen Craig and his seemingly improvised monologues and his tendency to show a young man in leather dancing, you should be surprised he made it past ten episodes. But The Late Late Show with Craig Ferguson is a bonafide hit. He gets better ratings than Jimmy Fallon and Jimmy Kimmel and now he’s made it to 1000 episodes.
Most hosts spend this monumental episode with famous movie star guests. Not Craig Ferguson. No, he …

Murder= My childhood crush on Zach Morris and my early 20′s crush on Jimmy Fallon. Suicide= Both Gosselaar and Fallon’s careers.
Jimmy Fallon had Mark-Paul Gosselaar on as “Zach Morris”, the character he played on the hit 90′s TV show “Saved By The Bell”. The only parallel I can muster up to describe this atrocity, is the sadness and hope I feel for our US economy. As with the economy, I’m just so sad that both Jimmy and Mark-Paul have fallen to such depths, and I truly hope, with the whole …

Conan O’Brien made his long awaited debut as the new host of the “Tonight Show” Monday night .  Then, in an unprecedented move, he  promptly turned around and told NBC Universal executives where they could shove it as he walked off the stage for the first and, apparently, last time.

Did you guys watch Conan last night?  What did you think?  Not his best, but not his worst…The show seemed like Late Night on steroids, but in a good way…
Here’s the cold open in case you missed it:

Jimmy Fallon’s new website just went live, and there is a tab where you can ask him questions, and he’ll hopefully answer them in his video blogs.  I know I have a few questions for him…
I’m curious to see what he’s made of…Right now I feel like that creepy audience member with my arms folded saying, “make me laugh”, but you know what? He does have a lot to prove in my book. We shall see!
Here is his new website, ask all the questions you want: http://www.latenightwithjimmyfallon.com/

The Roots have been hired to be Jimmy Fallon’s new talk show house band. That is very bittersweet for me because I’m a fan of The Roots, and now they’ve just become a house band? I suppose it’s a steady gig, and they’ll still get to perform together for 15 seconds at a time as they play to bring on guests, but I feel like they’ve completely sold out.
To me, The Roots have always had the “real factor” going for them, and they’ve just mainstreamed themselves. My friends and I …
