	I misread that for a second as...er, something a lot more sexual after 'Conan/John'. And, y'know, I'd pay to see that, too. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

That was my thought. I hope they aren't kidding themselves when they think TDS is just going to disappear. The show is popular because it's good T.V., period. It's clever, daring, and even educational. Just because ratings may be lower doesn't mean the show itself is lower quality - an especially skewed perspective when you consider the advantage Conan has on a basic cable station.

	Wow, I used to generally like Conan O'Brian, but now he just seems like a dick. And TDS may be less watched, but it's on fucking Comedy Central. (Reply to this)(Thread)

	esorlehcar 2005-10-02 05:17 am UTC (link)
	He certainly comes across like a dick in this instance, and a jealous, insecure one at that. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

Definitely. The whole article made him seem like a dick. I can't even put my finger on *one* thing it was that made him seem that way it was pretty much his entire attitude. The elitist humor, the attitude towards comedy clubs, the way he treated his writers, the whole fake self-deprecating act ....

am I the only one now thinking that the intro for his writing team in the Emmy clip wasn't a parody?

	I missed the Emmys (Emmies??) - what was it? I remember that as being one of the few entertaining bits in the whole show - what the writers sent in for their clips. Dang. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	krazycat 2005-10-02 03:58 pm UTC (link)
	The writer list scrolled by quickly, and there was Conan As Godly Thing. It was quite funny. ~~But I prefer TDS, I'd rather laugh about politics than celebs~~ (Reply to this)(Parent)

	wrongly_amused 2005-10-02 06:20 am UTC (link)
	I figured there would be some backlash of jealousy following TDS' explosive popularity this year. I just didn't think it would be so entertaining. (Reply to this)(Thread)

...me too. They should be uniting!

Although honestly? I am more of a Daily Show fan. I mean, Conan CAN be funny, but mostly it's sorta like watching that really awkward kid in middle school try really, really hard to be popular. Hit-and-miss, and it just sorta makes you tense up and feel sorry for him.

Conan's act is mostly comprised of him shuddering hard enough to make his hair wiggle. The only thing that's made it good recently is the Walker: Texas Ranger lever.

	I couldn't finish that article. It was so long. And ingratiating. If I want to read ten pages of someone trying to suck up to somebody nominally witty, I'll just go cruise the comments on Cassie Clair's journal. (Reply to this)
