Leno Replaces Conan on Tonight Show...

xpost that shit is mad funny if you have a proper amount of distance, which most of his fans clearly lack

roommate, to me, discussing his 4 bill hicks DVDs yesterday--

"The thing about Bill is that he was less a comedian and more just like...a truth-teller, you know?"

The thing about Bill is that he was a comedian.

Hicks could be a hateful motherfucker and there's sort of a cathartic element to that. I don't think he was totally joyless though, he'd let his humanity poke through here and there. Probably most explicitly in his "it's all a ride" and "we are all one" acid inspired... stuff.

hoos: your roomie--he's still in college, right?

I really love Bill Hicks, but he certainly had his flaws.

Yeah he's got one more year xp

okie. was worried for a sec.

im overstating the case against hicks. but i really do prefer carlin

Wait til dude tells you about global cooling though lb, that's when the dude will really expand your understanding of the world.

what is standup, johnny fever?

hate is a key part of humanity. i like seeing it represented in comedy.

Perrin clarifies that he doesn't dislike Conan, just thinks he won't work on Tonight. Says Fallon is godawful and getting worse:

if you don't, there's something wrong w/ u

I can't define standup any easier than you can, Morbs. But I know when it's being mistreated by a goon.

O_O jeff!

did anyone else lol at the riffing on "In The Year 2000" before they started the sketch

I thought the 2000->3000 thing was awkward and lame and it seemed like the audience thought so too

I wasn't sure it was going to work as "3000" but by the time it was over I was fine with it.

Also, glad to see they're bringing back Max-as-perv gags.

Meantime, Nikki Finke has gossip and thoughts.

Juicy!

Cry me a river, evil-chin.

After the way he screwed Letterman, any poor treatment now is just karma.

Since this has sort of turned into a general late night thread, who's placing odds on Jon Stewart taking over for Letterman when his run is over? CBS and Comedy Central are Viacom bedfellows, and I can't think of a single candidate more primed for the job right now (excepting Colbert, which could be fun if he carried over the character).

x-post -- But his happy marriage. (No, seriously.)

How did he screw Letterman?

Who would do "The Daily Show"?

ugh I just imagined "Glenn Beck"

Helen Kushnick did it, really. Seen Late Shift? http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0116835/

Who would do "The Daily Show"?

CHAPPELLE, BITCHES

by the time Letterman is ready to quit, Stewart will be in his 50s. Without the news-spoof template, I don't see a network betting on someone that old.

Didn't CBS only extend Dave's contract by 1 year recently? He's only a sure thing through 2010 I think.

"The Late Show with Demetri Martin"

"The Late Show with Dr Morbius!"

WOULD SEE

totally

first show, Seth Rogen & Sec of State Hillary Clinton

oh wow the number of nicknames generated per hour would be A+

favorite segment would be morbs stalking around brooklyn with a camera crew trying to k.o. hillbillies

Cobble Hillbillies

first show, Seth Rogen & Sec of State Hillary Clinton

okay yes, would absolutely watch this

yes pleaseeee

"Stick around, because after the break we have some guests I despise coming up, and everything else on TV is worthless!"

okay yes, would absolutely watch this

One episode of the Morbs show would be more entertaining than a lifetime of Jimmy Fallon.

Instead of a house band, there would be a white noise machine.

Would there be a sidekick?
