Attention, Team Coco! I just want to remind y’all that Conan’s new show, conveniently named “ Conan ,” debuts tonight on TBS at 11pm.
During the big Team Coco versus Team Leno feud that tore American apart about a year ago, we pretty solidly supported Team Coco. Then, like the rest of America, we lost interest. But Conan’s back now. My one hope is that the show is different . There’s a reason why Conan’s Tonight Show didn’t do too well, and then Leno’s re-launched Tonight Show similarly tanked in the ratings: TV is different in 2010 (nearly 2011) than what it was when Johnny Carson was the man. The very idea of sitting around, waiting for 11pm, to see someone tell a few jokes about the sitting president, or about the latest pop music hack, and then interview Tom Hanks or Anne Hathaway about their latest nothing movie, well, I have better things to do with my time.
For example, I could be arguing with children about what’s better, Half-Life 2 or Call of Duty.
