Conan O'Brien

[Marigold2]

I used to watch Jay but by the time Conan came on I was doing the zzzz. Now that he is on at 11:30 I have been watching him and the man is so darn funny and outragious. I laugh myself silly, especially when he does the little dance and hop pulling his hips and chest. :cool:
His face is such an odd shape, kind of square with a pointy chin. The faces he makes are beyond nutty. I am loving it.:p:p He is a great talent. Young, hip and I hope he won't change.

I used to catch him occasionally on a Friday night after Jay. Let's just say his humor is definitely not my style.

[Logan]

I have to agree with you, Pam.

[BitsyNaceyDog]

Love him! I never catch him live, but we used to record him on the DVR or watch him on hulu.

[lvpets2002]

:) I so agree.. I Do Not Like Him & Do Not Like to Look At Him..

:love: Love him! :love: His hairstyle cracks me up. I think he wears it that way to be funny.

[sasvermont]

I have watched Conan for years and think it may be time for him to mature a little. I prefer David Letterman now. Oh well, that is why we have different hosts for different programs! I don't dislike Conan, just a bit disappointed in his unwillingness to grow up.

Nooo...we don't want him to grow up. ;)

[Marigold2]

I love Conan, he reminds me of old fashioned slap stick, The Three Stooges, Laural & Hardy. It's suppose to be over the top and funny, pies in the face are so funny. John Ritter and Lucy were others who did that type of humor.

Not trying to be rude, but Conan and John Ritter and Lucy shouldn't even be mentioned in the same breath! :) They were artists. :cool:

[Medusa]

All a matter of personal taste. I like all of them; they're all unique and funny in their own way. Craig Ferguson, too.

[lvpets2002]

:) Thank you & I so agree.. Thats the diff between us older pups verses the younger pups..;)

[pomtzu]

I can never stay awake long enough to watch any of them, so I can't say one way or another. :eek:
However, Jimmy Kimmel really gets on my nerves from what I've seen of him. If Conan is as "funny" :rolleyes::rolleyes: as he is, then I'm not missing much.

[lvpets2002]

:) They are about the same && No your not missing much..

Conan is a funny looking guy, but he tries too hard to BE funny. IMO.
I perfer more wit than slapstick.:)

[finn's mom]

I love Conan. I really enjoy David Letterman, too, though, but for different reasons. Variety is the spice of life! And, I don't think Conan and Jimmy Kimmel are anything alike. I like that Scottish guy, too, but I can never remember his name. ;)

I can't remember the last time I saw any of the late shows, though...I'm usually asleep by ten. :p

[Marigold2]

Conan is the better educated and most likely the more intellegent. What is funny is a matter of taste. I like silly, becaused I am. I am also 50 not too young or too old. I remember Lucy and Laurel and Hardy and Larry, Curly and Moe too. Love Carol Burnett and Tracy Ullman. I also like new and young and hip which Conan is.

Career

I really miss Jay Leno. I do my computer stuff when he's on so I decided to give Conan a try. He's OK. I prefer him to Letterman any day. Watching Jimmy Kimmel reminds me of my mom. I was shocked when she told ME about his show and that he makes her laugh hysterically! Ya just never know, do ya? :p I'm a real Kimmel fan. I love his humor. He's as quick as a whip.

[Edwina's Secretary]

Once upon a time I was a big Letterman fan. Today...IF I could stay up that late I would watch Jon Stewart's The Daily Show and The Colbert Show....now those guys are usually (not always...) VERY funny!

I do try and watch the reruns the next day....:D:D:D

[kitten645]

My order is:

Jon Stewart
Craig Ferguson
David Letterman
Conan O'Brien

and the rest I can do without. Kimel irritates me. I thought Jay was a bit of a sell out. Haven't really seen Jimmy Fallon. I'm warming up to Cobert.

Where have you gone, Johnny Carson?


Go to the Slauson cutoff, then Cut off your Slauson.;)

[lvpets2002]

:( I thought he passed away a year or two ago..

Yep, Johnny died a while back. He was a master at making me laugh!!!
He could crack me up by just a look. He didn't have to make fun of anyone. I loved it when he had the animals visiting. One of them got on his head once and relieved himself. :D:D:D:D:D

[lizbud]

I guess everyone is too old to remember Jack Parr, but he was funny.:)

Then came Johnny Carson & I liked his show as well, David Letterman is
a local guy who made it big in the big city. He was assigned as a weather
man as a first job on local TV channel. He was the funnest weather guy
I ever heard.:D

I remember Jack Parr, but not real well. I only got to see him when I could sneak in when my parents didn't know I was watching. That was way past my bedtime then. ;) :D

I meant to say everyone is too young to remember.:o:o Anyhoo, I used
to stay up to watch on nights before a non school day.:D
