Title: Last Episode of Late Night with Conan O\'Brien tonight
Post by: SkyePrizm on February 20, 2009, 11:15:22 am
Maybe some of you don\'t like him, or don\'t care, but for the rest of you who may be fans tonight is the big night! Last show at 12:35 am. This show definitely kept me company and had me laughing through late night cramming in high school. And then as a young adult was the source of background during college dorm parties. (We even invented the Conan O\'Brien drinking game). I love his cheesy gimics. Masterbating Bear, Chuck Norris Lever, etc.
After this, no Conan til June, that\'s when he takes over the Tonight Show ;)

Really... That\'s news to me... I had heard that he wasn\'t... In any event, he\'ll be missing from the show while he\'s on tour with Bruce this summer...

Love Conan, he incorporated everything I great about letterman, then made it better. Plus his musical guests have always been top notch.
Hope he doesn\'t change much.

I rarely see 12:30 on a work night, but I\'ve been watching Conan on Hulu for awhile.

Chuck Norris lever was done last night. ;)
So glad Conan promised not to "grow up" as he moves on to host the Tonight Show. I\'ll be looking forward to June.

Yeah, it definitely wasn\'t a funny show, more sentimental than anything. But you have to expect that. 16 years and moving on to something extremely big.....
The shows that aired earlier in the week and last week had more shenanigans.

Conan\'s thank you rant was great. I didn\'t think he was even able to get emotional like he did. Meg and Jack sucked big time. I\'m still a big fan, but shit.

Perhaps a glimmer of hope for Conan\'s predecessor
The band is holed-up in a Manhattan studio, preparing for its new gig as the house band on "Late Night With Jimmy Fallon," the NBC show that will take Conan O\'Brien\'s place when O\'Brien moves to "The Tonight Show."
They\'re working long days to create 200 "sandwiches" - the intros and outros that will buffer each segment on the show.
"Right now, my whole life is this show," said drummer Ahmir Thompson, better known as ?uestlove.
Since forming in Philadelphia in the early 1990s, the Roots has been one of the best regarded bands in hip-hop. It was one of the first hip-hop bands to take up instruments, and it\'s been an acclaimed act for nearly two decades, with respectable (though not huge) album sales.
So when word got out that the Roots would be following in the tradition of Paul Shaffer and Kevin Eubanks, the blogosphere and much of the music world erupted in say-it-ain\'t-so shock.
Gawker.com wrote that the band\'s "opening up for Jimmy Fallon every night is the cultural equivalent of Miles Davis playing his horn on the subway platform."
?uestlove says Branford Marsalis - who abruptly quit his gig as Jay Leno\'s musical foil in the early 1990s - cautioned against the move: "You\'ll be neutered!"
But ?uestlove says the band\'s new job has "enabled us to survive."
"This would basically match or surpass what we would make touring 200-plus days out of the year. And, two, this allows us to be home," he said.
It\'s a welcome respite for a band that has always toured extensively. The band members - most in their late 30s - are looking forward to living like "normal men," as ?uestlove says.
"Initially I was a little leery," said Roots\'s MC Tariq Trotter, or Black Thought. "I initially was thinking, \'Is this just going to be ammo for some other rapper to try to dis me for?\' "
The idea gradually sunk in, though, Black Thought says. When the economy went into recession, ticket sales - their chief source of income - started to slow. And with album sales tanking, many music acts are considering different ways to make money.
"It was just sounding better and better as the months went on," said Black Thought. "The pros outweighed the cons."
But the job is already more than the Roots bargained for. NBC isn\'t paying for publishing rights - not even for the band\'s own material - so the band is having to create a new TV-ready repertoire.
Seeing hip-hop regularly on a late show will be revolutionary, but the Roots are more than a hip-hop band.
"We\'re going to cover every genre, though I doubt we\'ll do bluegrass," said ?uestlove. "This is a chance to really show people how diverse we are."
