all I know is that it's probably gonna suck. 'ugly americans' has got to be the worst thing on television right now.

Lopez thing was pretty unfunny, until they busted on Jay Leno. I can get behind that from anyone.

Last night George Lopez had Chris Rock on the show. He made three audience members play "Chris Rock Band". They recited Chris Rock routines to the audience while Chris Rock stood there and listened.
To say that Chris Rock looked mortified is an understatement.

We should probably make the Conan on TBS anticipation thread sometime.

This was only fun when there was frantic hair-pulling and eye-gouging between Conan, Leno and the NBC execs.

I'm still looking forward to the show. Stewart and Colbert both repeat about 4 times per day, so I can catch them after the fact.

Roffle:
Big news on the late night TV battlefront today: The Tonight Show with Jay Leno posted its lowest-rated Q2 -- the first full quarter since Leno came back as host after Conan O'Brien was dumped -- since the Late Show with David Letterman launched on CBS in 1993.

JAY "BIG JAW" LENO HAS DESTROYED THE TONIGHT-SHOW FRANCHISE

Read a review of Conan's live show somewhere and they said he mostly just made jokes about the controversy for most of the time. Is this true? Sounds like it would get old fast.

it's funny. i saw a "tweet" from o'brien the other day, riffing on the controversy, and it fell flat for me.
but he's a funny -- and, here's the key -- inventive guy. he'll find new material. also: bitterness can be a great springboard for comedy.

ConanOBrien I don't care where LeBron James ends up... As long as it's not at 11pm on TBS. about 3 hours ago via web

thanks for sharing that. it prompted me to reserve the book for when it's back at the library.
