Episode discussion for: 17x157 | Conan O'Brien, James Taylor (May 29, 2009)

I could not be more proud. I sat with my mom and cried, which is not usual for me.

Wow, I knew Conan started on Monday (yay!), but I somehow didn't realize that Jay's final show would be Friday (duh). I went back and watched it on Hulu, though. Good show. Jay seems like a really nice guy, and I'm sure I'll catch him in September.

(I totally cried, too, Candy, and I'm not even really a Jay Leno fan.)

I can't stand Conan. And I'll be watching Jay's new show in the Fall. I am still hoping that he will jump to ABC or FOX and compete against all of them

Aw, Conan rules. He's so ridiculous.

I don't like Jay, so good riddance. I will not be watching Conan, either, even though he is more likable than Jay. Can Conan replace Craig Ferguson, please?

I'll either watch Letterman or find something better to watch at 11:30. I'll check out his first show just for the sake of it then I'll find something else. I do look forward to Jay's new show at 10PM

Craig Ferguson is WEIRD. I'll probably end up watching him after Conan, though. I'm definitely not gonna watch the Fallon. Jimmy Kimmel's show would be a lot more convenient if it started at 12:35.

I like Craig Ferguson. Although truth be told, despite always being up late enough to watch these shows, I pretty much never do...

Never liked Leno, Letterman or Ferguson so not going to miss this show...
The only two shows I've really liked is Conan and The Daily Show, and I still watch every episode of TDS

And I'm very sure the audience for the Tonight Show will enjoy a jacking off bear. Sarcasm of course

Hey, Conan acknowledged that and retired the Masturbating Bear! Conan tried to preserve him in carbonite, but Carrie Fisher reversed the process, allowing him to escape. The Masturbating Bear and Carrie Fisher soon reunited and, presumably, lived happily ever after.

Anyway, Conan's audience loves Conan, regardless of what time his show airs. Jay fans will just follow him to 10:00.

You are correct on that. Now lets boil it down to this, what will that do ratings wise? Craig Ferguson had been catching up to Conan and dead evening the ratings with them. Do you think Dave Letterman will be Conan?

Hmm ... well, for the first week at least, I think curiosity in Conan's new show will help his ratings, but I'm not sure after that. Jay's show constantly beat Letterman in the ratings, but Jay's fans might be more inclined to watch Letterman. I'm bad at speculation.

This is one of the more enjoyable typos I've seen.

Just to make things interesting I'll say the opposite of what Kelly said. Conan's audience will slowly build up to beat Letterman.

Conan will only beat Dave initially, because he has the new car smell, but Dave has that old charm. If Craig can almost beat Conan (LOL, seriously?) than Dave sure can.
