I just finished watching Jay's last show. Not an earth shattering send off
but it was in good taste.

I can't put my finger on what's up with O'Brien either. Maybe some of each.

I won't be watching.

Connan O' Brian was boyish and funny when he first started and a
breath of fresh air after the boring schick of late late night show
Letterman. However, Connan has aged and he needs to grow up now.

I watched "Panic Room" for the first time last night, but I lost
interest when she sent the police away. I'm thinking "she's got the
gun, she knows the bad guys can't hear anything she says"... HUH?

sf,

To his credit, he never had trouble selling out his studio audience. I
remember he did a week in San Francisco a year or two ago and it was well
received. I even applied for tickets. Alas.

I saw that once but forget most of it other than it being a big stretch of
the imagination.

Best,

Andy

Conan will do as well as Leno if not better... folks who watch late night TV
are not looking for profoundly intellectual (foodtv), at that hour they want
mindless. I never cared for Letterman, he's creepy, and his facial
expressions turned my stomach, he needs serious dental work. I for one am
happy that both Leno and Conan will be moving up an hour, they were on later
than I could stay awake most nights. Conan's skits are funny (what, you
don't like the masturbating bear), it's better to fall asleep on a happy
note than with the hopeless, hapless misery of world news.
