It seems the finale of the Tonight Show with Conan O’brien was a ratings success. He almost tripled Letterman’s ratings for the night. Given the decisions the NBC executives have made the last several seasons, I wouldn’t be surprised at the above outcome.
On a similar note, the Team Conan t-shirts are way out pacing the Team Leno ones. Get yours by clicking the image below while you can.

Told you, Bearman … it’s the power of the pompadour! 🙂
isnt pompadour one of the elephant servants of Babar???
I never read those books…
Now I’m dying to see Conan’s pompadour get a cameo in a Babar book! 🙂
I’m gonna miss Conan… I’ve been watching him since I was in school. He better get a job somewhere else and not just run off with his millions!
Nice job on the hair, by the way.
Chris…thanks for visiting. I am sure he will pop up somewhere but I say, enjoy your millions for a while.
I swear there is going to be a midday movie about this next year 🙁
Well they had one between Leno and Letterman so I can see it too.
you actually made conan good looking…so symmetrical and angular…
wasn’t he already symmetrical and angular???
You really did a great job on your Conan. You’re getting better and better with the caricatures each go ’round.
You should see how many renditions I have to do before I am happy. Still not happy all the way…but thanks
why yes he is and you depicted him perfectly.
i prefer C to L. L is so Lame and C is so Cool for a ginger..
Oh boy…another South Park watcher. haha
Here’s another one. 😀
I used to be in a relationship that was spotty like that. It was always on-again, off-again. And that was just in the bedroom.
I was going to say something about the Palm sisters but I’ll resist.
I liked Conan in the later time slot anyway.
I think he could have grown into the other slot. Jimmy Fallon is breathing a sigh of relief though.
Zucker is such a weiner, so I think the toon is right on.
He used to be a WINNER.
I agree with FJ…who, ironically enough, agrees with you.
Now I guess the real question here would be, “Who do you agree with?”
?
…?
(Er, please disregard above, I shouldn’t be allowed to have access to a computer this early in the morning.)
…Within a few months everyone will have forgotten the whole mess anyway. It’s what we do.
What do you mean ironically enough FJ agrees with me. I have never seen anyone disagree with me.
I wish you yanks would make up your fecking mind as to which presenter is in or out! You would think it actually mattered the amount of noise it has created? Does NBC stand for “No Bleeding Clue?”
Hey who asked for your opinion..haha j/k. I agree it is amazing how much press it has gotten….but I guess Haiti wasn’t a big enough news item.
A very pungent contrast bearman, or do I mean apposite?
I thought Conan was a barbarian. You guys all sit up way too late for me.
Good comic though… I recognize him because I have seen all the ruckus on the Today Show. When I was young all we had at that time of night was a test pattern.
Funny I was watching a fairly recent movie the other day and they played the old stand by trick of a guy falling asleep watching tv only to waken by snow on the TV. What channel doesnt broadcast 24 hours these days?
That sounds about right for NBC…
You wonder why I can’t get a job there…I could make just as good of decisions.
The L&L brothers, Letterman and Leno, are thinking dastardly thoughts on how to stop the Conan machine from taking over late night wasteland. I’m sure switching his Rogaine with Nair is one of them.
When I was younger I tried Nair on my back before going to the beach one year. Worst sunburn I ever got.
lmao silly bugger, u shouldve worn sunscreen
I did…it was snorkeling with a bare back.
You know, I actually had that same thought about NBC. I’m superised it didn’t get dragged out longer
I am surprised they didn’t let him run it a few more weeks until the olympics started.
Hey Bearman! Yeah, I’m glad Conan did well! He deserves it; he’s been a nice guy waiting 3 yrs!
5 but who is counting.
WOW! I’m impressed with your caricature!! Great job, Bear!
Does that mean you are usually unimpressed with my caricatures beano??
Now don’t go turning around a compliment! 😉
Well what would you say to your husband if he said “wow! I’m impressed with how you look today!”
You are determined to back me in a corner aren’t you! 🙂
Even though Conan’s ratings topped everything, they were still below Jay Leno’s “last” tonight show’s numbers. Just goes to show that because of the majority, we can’t have nice things.
Then again there are situations where a certain small group of the public does/does not want something and we all have to follow along.
I heard that a lot of the great skits Conan had on the Late Show were cut out of the Tonight Show. I hope wherever Conan goes he gets that stuff back in. It was waaaaay better than anything Dave or Jay had/have.
Jay is still tops for the monologue. I used to watch Jay’s monologue and then switch to Letterman for everything else. Letterman is just unwatchable anymore.
It’s the second coming of Boss George and Billy!
Run! Run! Run for the hills!
Huh???
Baseball analogy.
George Steinbreener hired and fired Billy Martin about three or four times. They even made a Miller Lite commercial out of it.
NOW I get it!! I am thinking Boy George and Billy Dee Williams.
Oh God, that’s a frightening thought!
Not a bad technique – generates lots of publicity – free advertising …
Still, late night? Not sure I believe in late nights these days. Must be the long years catching up…
No late nights when getting up for work isn’t the same option as getting up for class.
