Who's getting sick and tired of Conan saying...
 
"Tonight is an excellent show. I only say that on (insert different days) and (insert another day). The other time I know it's crap."

First couple of weeks it was funny but then he keeps going with it. It's like the producers tell him to tell the audience that every show will be a "great" one. I already expect to hear him say this every night. When will it end?. Show is still funny but that part is getting annoying!

i don't mind.

Phuzbox 11-20-02 08:08 PM

Then don't watch that part of the show. :eyebrow:

They probably do.

He can't exactly say "Tonight we've got a really sucktacular show for you. The guests are lame and the skits are weak. Sorry."

Although that would be funnier. :)

I'm not tired of it. In fact, I think that he just says it himself, without the prompting of cue cards or producers.

I love his string dance. :lol:

And I love when he does his Anna Nicole Smith impersonation and he runs around going, "aahhhhhhhhhhh". :lol:

I also like when he hisses at the camera and walks up to it for an extreme close-up.

WhoGirl, are you still madly in love with Conan? Or are you over that phase?

I for one am tired of it as well. too repeatitive.

outcastja 11-20-02 09:40 PM

Yes, hearing it for the the past nine years does get annoying.

Kudama 11-20-02 11:06 PM

I don't really give it too much thought.

I really look forward to the hissing, though. He didn't hiss the other day and I was like, "Whaaaa?!?"

Jackskeleton 11-21-02 01:04 AM

It's a running gag. :p

it's been going on forever.

Personally I like Conan, but I think he really should start to spend more time prepare for his show. IMHO, Letterman does much better job in prepare for his show, in that he always have at least a topic, or something happen to him each day that are different to talk about on the top of the show, instead of just repeating "this show is excellent".

When it comes to skits, Conan is the most creative. When it comes to interviews, Conan keeps my attention the most out of any other talk show host because it is interesting and extremely funny. Every once in a while there is a show where many things fall flat, but Letterman/Leno/Kilborn have that happen a LOT more often than Conan does. And it's comedy, so not EVERYTHING is going to work!

I like it when he says the thing about the show being good tonight. It's an ongoing joke. Plus, if that's your biggest complaint, consider yourself lucky. I don't like Leno's monologues or interviews. Thats a BIG chunk of the show!

Rogue588 11-21-02 03:10 PM

Let's get this out of the way...

Leno = Suck
Letterman = Entertainment
Kilborne = Sarcastic but comedy bits suck. Good with guests.
Carson = :.....: [If you can't say something nice...]

As far as Conan goes, the only thing that annoys me about him is the shifty way he glances at the blue cards on his desk while doing an interview.

Oh yeah...and the fact he hasn't had PimpBot on in a while. ;)

Da Thrilla 11-21-02 04:37 PM

Who cares? Conan can do whatever he wants! :D

Those three things make that the best show...EVER! rotfl

kilcher 11-22-02 06:06 AM

I never really watch Conan but the other night during the monologue he'd tell a joke and then apologize for how unfunny it was. Seemed like he'd do that every other joke or so. I don't know if he does that every night but that would certainly get old.

CTUK 11-22-02 06:38 AM

It's great the way he says it. You can tell it's a running joke... Never knock Conan... he rules!

Calculon 11-23-02 11:27 PM

Conan usually talks more during the interviews than the person he's supposed to be interviewing. The rest of the show is good, though.

Precisely why I enjoy Conan's interviews. The vast majority of the celebs are powerfully dull.

BabiG 11-24-02 04:01 AM

Conan does tend to repeat his banter a lot, I still watch the show, but that's the main reason why I don't watch as regularly as I used to. He has programmed responses for certain situations...when a reference during the monologue doesn't get a strong response, he says the "Okay, about three people know what I'm talking about" line, when the women in the audience scream for a male guest he gives the "It's okay ladies, I'm here all night" line almost everytime, the previously mentioned "Good show tonight, not like most nights" intro he usually gives before saying who the guests are, etc.

It's still a great show, it just can get predictable at times, it's not one I can watch every night.

I pretty much agree with that to a T. It's very predictable even after only watching a few episodes, but it's still funny and favorable to other late night shows, IMO.

HurricaneKicker 11-24-02 04:13 PM

Conan can be pretty funny at times but I dont watch him enough to really get sick with anything he does!

The Bus 11-25-02 11:07 AM

In the past at least he didn't repeat it each time... Now it's funny when he says he has a great show and he's got like the nurse that left E.R. and some other dipwad on.

Oh yeah let's see!

Favorite show was still the x-men Rebecca Romjin Stamos where she acts like her Mystique action figure.
