Another thing he says is that L.A. is the only city in the world where a native L.A.'er can sit in another city with guys just talking crap about L.A. and the L.A. guy nods his head and actually gets in talking about all the things that blow about L.A.
Obviously since Hollywood is here, and the movie industry thinks it revolves around them and, to be honest, most of the world takes that view unfourtantly, it gives the appeareance that L.A. is one of those cities that have a huge ego about it's city. I have been here for awhile and IMO it is simply a city with huge egos. As opposed to (IMO w/ no mean to offense since I love these cities as well) New York, Boston, Paris, and probably more I haven't been to that believe the world revolves around their city. L.A. is full of people that think the world revolves around them.

From: City of the lakers.. riots.. and drug dealing cops.. los(t) Angel(e)s. ca.
Monday is repeat so that the creative team cant ake an extra day to come up with bits and to film some of those segments.
it's a week of repeats cause.. they can.
Oh for fucks sake, you did read this thread:
http://dvdtalk.com/forum/showthread.php?t=405553
What did we say about "Out here". You aren't OUT HERE. You are HERE. One major thing about Los Angeles is that because the pulse of hollywood is certained in los angeles, it's easy for a show with this format to get its guest and produced because of the unions and many other studios here.
I don't think Los Angeles has any sort of ego that is not justified by what it does. Much like New York has wallstreet. Would it be justified to say that New York has a big business ego to think that the whole U.S. should revolve around the opening and closing bell on wallstreet? It's justified. They are the first to get up in the morning and so it's only common sense for the work day to start up when the first side of the US wakes up.
The show benefits from the fact that the guest live in los angeles because that is where hollywood's pulse is. It's not an ego thing, it's a simple matter of if you want wine, you go to the wine country. It's not an ego, it's basic logic.
As for why you will see a lot of different team shirts all over the place in los angeles is because a.) tourist town, so you will see a lot of different folks. b.) wanna be actors, directors, film makers migrating for careers bringing a piece of their home town. c.) the place is full of band wagon sports fans. If a specific team is winning you will get a lot of people jump on their wagon. You will notice that this was the case with the bulls and with the lakers. It's all about who is getting ahead and so forth.
Los Angeles if full of Fruits, Flakes and Nuts. It's like a cereal. Fruits cause well west hollywood and so forth. Flakes cause everyone makes plans or last minutes and will give you noncommitment answers till the last minute in hopes to find something better to do and nuts because... we are nuts. All and all, it's an alright amount to pay in order to benefit the year round good weather.

I say he'll have to go to the west which is a shame. That's where the Tonight Show should be. On the other hand is California still gonna exist in '09? That's 4 years from now, they're due big time for something we all know what it is.

What is in that thread? I guess you and I just disagree. It is just something I have noticed from visiting and living in certain cities, and growing up HERE. The undying loyalty and ego is something that newly relocated people have but quickly disapates.

Uh, may I request a turn back to the original topic?
I wish Conan would stay on the east coast, it is afterall where I live, so I would like to see him when he gets promoted, but if he can't he can't. I'll just catch him while I can. June 14th can't come soon enough.

I heard a rumor today that Max Weinberg may not being going to LA. I guess he practices a lot with Springsteen who lives on the east coast. I'm not sure if its just a rumor or not but I hope its not true.

Earlier this year I was chatting with Mark Pender from the Max Weinberg 7, he told me then he wasn't sure if the band would be moving to the Tonight Show or not.
That would be a real downer, the band is one of my favorite parts, and Max can be hilarious.

They should let Conan stay in NY.
Are they still moving ahead with the Jimmy Fallon Late Night? If so, they should have him do it from Boston or something like that. Due to the glut of shows, he's not going to get any guests anyway.

Just a guess, but considering how tight space is here, there probably isn't a big enough pre-existing theater in NYC since he's giving up his to Jimmy Fallon. And it's probably too expensive to build something new or retrofit a Broadway venue. NBC is building a new one for Jay in LA (which I'm sure is much cheaper than building in nyc) so Conan can move in.

Re: Conan O' Brien/Tonight Show question....
I think it will be kind of rough to rip out the band though, a lot of the humor is played off of them, and I just feel Conan will have to change his schtick even more (he'll probably already have to tone down the bizarreness).
Here's to hoping that everyone in the band stays gainfully employed by something!

WHEN Conan O'Brien takes over the "Tonight Show" in June, it will be the first time in nearly 40 years that the show will get a new home.
Conan is leaving behind the studio in "beautiful downtown Burbank" that Johnny Carson made famous and moving several miles away into the house that Jack Benny built.
TV shows reflect the places where they are made - think of Oprah and Chicago or the "Today" show and Rockefeller Center. It's part of their show- business DNA.
That means the "Tonight Show" will be changing more than its host when it moves from Burbank to Universal Studios this summer.
Crews have been working for months to prepare the new digs at the same Hollywood soundstage built in the 1950s to be occupied by "The Jack Benny Show."
"Tonight" debuted in September 1954 and was broadcast live from New York for its first 10 years.
Carson moved the show to NBC's West Coast headquarters in Burbank in May 1972. Leno has used the same studio - with some minor alterations - since 1992.
O'Brien takes over the coveted late-night program from Jay Leno June 1. And Leno will broadcast his new, 10 p.m. nightly show from his current "Tonight" studio in Burbank.
Universal Studios is doing a complete renovation to its historic Stage One, which will house a new state-of-the-art set, an audience reception area and several levels of offices for the show's staff.
Stage One opened in 1961 and was most recently occupied by "Desperate Housewives."
It has also been used for the TV show "Knight Rider" (the original) and the movies "Jurassic Park III" and "Bruce Almighty."
The network has been highly protective of the new set-up. Repeated requests last week for information and pictures of the new home of the "Tonight Show" were turned down.
Tickets for the "Tonight Show with Conan O'Brien" are not available yet.
But a Universal spokesperson tells The Post that the first people to get them will be guests at the theme park located next to the studio.

"Tonight" debuted in September 1954 and was broadcast live from New York for its first 10 years.
Carson moved the show to NBC's West Coast headquarters in Burbank in May 1972. Leno has used the same studio - with some minor alterations - since 1992.
O'Brien takes over the coveted late-night program from Jay Leno June 1. And Leno will broadcast his new, 10 p.m. nightly show from his current "Tonight" studio in Burbank.
Universal Studios is doing a complete renovation to its historic Stage One, which will house a new state-of-the-art set, an audience reception area and several levels of offices for the show's staff.
Stage One opened in 1961 and was most recently occupied by "Desperate Housewives."
It has also been used for the TV show "Knight Rider" (the original) and the movies "Jurassic Park III" and "Bruce Almighty."
The network has been highly protective of the new set-up. Repeated requests last week for information and pictures of the new home of the "Tonight Show" were turned down.
Tickets for the "Tonight Show with Conan O'Brien" are not available yet.
But a Universal spokesperson tells The Post that the first people to get them will be guests at the theme park located next to the studio.
