I've never known a red head that has been offended by the term ginger or ginj. And there are plenty that can be hurled at me (asian), don't think I've ever been offended by one as such as none of them are in a hateful context. I have met a few people that are easily offended, and it frankly all comes across as ridiculously oversensitive.

Being described, period, in a hateful ton is one thing, having a goofy term that conveys it is another. Ginger is the actual color being described, it isn't derogatory or looked down as negative in any situation I've been in. I guess blondie is equally offensive.

Are you even watching the show? You don't seem to be a fan, so I'm not sure what your interest is.

Getting questions and entering debate such as this would be my guess. ;)

If you hate the show so much why do you keep coming back to post about it? Seriously I hate people like you who come back to bitch about something that you don't like. It's one thing if you do it once but to continually come back is just trolling and annoying.

I've loved the New York shows this week. I kind of wish Conan would go back to doing his show there instead, but that's probably not going to happen. He just seems more in his element there.

Attended a taping of tonight's show with Morena Baccarin and Wilco. Definitely considering making a yearly trek to LA to attend future tapings. Holy shit that was a lot of fun. :D

The rattle snake taunting was much longer. They were having a hard time trying to get the snake to pop the balloon.

bummer. he's their go-to guy for sketches. now that him and Brian McCann are gone, the days of the old late night show guys are over. :sad:

The show just isn't funny anymore. I miss Max Weinberg. Joel Goddard. The randomness. The skits. Andy serves absolutely no purpose anymore. Conan these days looks bloated and tired. His show used to seem youthful and energetic. Now it's stale and quite lame. He just doesn't care anymore, his soul has been sapped.

Just cancel it. I prefer to think of Conan when he was on Late Night.

Agreed this show isn't what it used to be. I honestly tune into Fallon over Conan these days.

I don't watch all the time but I still find the show pretty funny when I do catch it. Ferguson was my favorite until he left to be honest.

Deftones 04-02-15 05:16 PM

Re: Conan --> Series Discussion Thread --> 2010-2011
 
i still watch the show daily. it is a different show, but it has to be. it can't be like the old late night show. they still have some great bits like deon cole breaks down the news, wikibear, celebrity survey and a few others.

I like Conan and didn't see it before. :shrug:

I DVR and wait daily. I skip around. Always watch till the interviews at least. It's the only late night show I have interest in.

My damn DVR didn't have this week's Comic Con shows marked as "new".

either did mine and that annoyed me to hell because usually Optimum is damn good with my dvr scheduling, but because i watch Seinfeld on TBS, i saw the promos and thankfully, because they were real good, dvr'd them all.

I'm curious, Why didn't Conan stick it out at the 12 am slot for a couple of years till Leno's contract ran out?

because he was hired to do the tonight show. moving his show later was not the tonight show. he had every right be be pissed off. and leno/nbc already fucked him over. why would he want to stay on a network that showed a huge amount of faith in him giving him the job, then yanking it away so quickly?

wearetheborg 08-02-15 02:07 PM

Re: Conan --> Series Discussion Thread --> 2010-2011
 
It wouldn't have been yanked away, just delayed for a couple of years more till Leno's contract ran out. And Conan could have hammered out a new deal to ensure he would not get screwed over again.

Mike86 08-02-15 02:24 PM

Re: Conan --> Series Discussion Thread --> 2010-2011
 
He was right to leave in my opinion. It was a slap in the face to Conan to give him the gig for roughly seven months and then basically say: its not working so we're going to bring Jay back to the spot you were promised and essentially put you back where you were. Plus who's to say that NBC wouldn't have had another change of heart about giving him the gig after Jay eventually left for good? I think all in all its worked out better for him anyways as his TBS show doesn't have to cater to a mainstream audience necessarily and he can be more himself.

And thats why he would have had an additional legal guarantee.

Mike86 08-02-15 02:45 PM

Re: Conan --> Series Discussion Thread --> 2010-2011
 
Regardless it was a good choice on his part to leave and I think a lot of people in similar situations would have done the same.

Jay Leno was hovering over that job. The only reason he doesn't currently have it is because NBC forced him out. He wasn't going anywhere until he was forced to do so.

Again, Conan would not have trusted Leno, he would have hammered out an ironclad deal with NBC.


Also, why did NBC force Leno out after Conan left? Wasn't he getting good ratings?

Deftones 08-03-15 07:41 AM

Re: Conan --> Series Discussion Thread --> 2010-2011
 
He had an iron clad deal to host the tonight show on NBC. Look where that got him. I don't think you realize that having a contract didn't mean shit in this case because they just bought him out of it. They wanted him out so they got him out.
