Conan at TBS - Very Funny?

In a rare bit of TV media-related commentary, I just felt like I had to comment on Conan O'Brien's move to host a Late Night show on TBS this fall.

First of all, did any of you call this? It was quite a shock to me. While I was concerned with where Conan would fit in the FOX lineup, I never guessed he'd move to TBS. I'm not a huge fan of TBS's original programming, though it does add some much-needed diversity to the TV comedy lineup. I'm concerned about him competing with other 11 PM EST comedies, even with cable's generally low ratings standards.

But who knows! I could be wrong, and I certainly wish him the best!

What do you guys think? Will you watch Conan on his new time slot? Do you have basic cable (which I do not)? Do you think TBS will start airing their shows on Hulu? Do you even care?

UPDATE: This Daily Beast article offers a lot more insight, and definitely makes the case that this was the best possible move for Conan.

Thank You!

Thanks everyone for reading my blog post at the3six5!

This post meant a lot to me (it's the first time I've been blog published on a blog that wasn't my own!) and I really appreciate all the support.

Hugs!

Oh, and, for your efforts, here's an adorable puppy in a bandanna.

Why I Don't Miss College

While most of my "Class Notes: Alumni Updates!" email was filled with people I don't know doing cool things like working in Papua New Guinea to promote conservation or graduating from Harvard with a Masters in Education, there was also this guy:

"[Anonymous Jerk Face] has moved back to Bogota, Colombia. He is working as a business analyst for a Dutch chain of supermarkets with a presence in ten different Colombian cities. He finds the work to be both interesting and varied. As a former member of the Columbia golf team, Philippe likes to play a round of golf as often as possible to maintain his level."

The key words here are: business analyst, Dutch chain of supermarkets, interesting and varied, golf team, round of golf, and - most of all - maintain his level.

Seriously, who goes to Bogota to be a tool? Although, admittedly, you can probably be a tool for so much cheaper there than in New York. Plus, much more easily accessible cocaine.

Voice in the Vent Update!

I now think that the Voice in the Vent was watching this last night.



Still just as stereotypical. Also, awesome!

PS. For all you New Yorkers...

... It hasn't been this hot this early here since 1929 (and that record was only 89 degrees. Today it was 90!)

Of course, I spent the day (half of it outside) wearing a long-sleeved shirt with a short-sleeved shirt over it. I am the baddest of badasses.

What I Could Have Done While in the Hospital

This is both sad, funny, and inspiring. My question is - how did he get a green screen into his hospital room? Also, I bet he's written 12 screenplays by now. Seriously.



Anyway, in some small way, I relate to this guy (and love his accent, duh!), but I definitely fully respect him. Get better soon, Fully [Soon-to-be-Well?] Rapper!
