Yesterday the first episode of Conan O Brien’s new show Conan debuted on TBS. This opening skit shows viewers an exaggerated version of what he’s been up to in the past year.
I for one am thrilled that he’s finally back. Even George Lopez doesn’t mind going on an hour later. As he stated this week, “It’s the beginning of a new era in late-night comedy.”
Even though TBS is “basic cable” and paying Conan “much less” it really doesn’t show with the quality of this skit. Since almost all of Conan’s staff is back with him the chemistry is obvious. Hell, you don’t see Leno inviting Larry King on his show to dress up as an angel.
Confirmed guests for this week are Tom Hanks, Jack McBrayer, Soundgarden, Jon Hamm, Charlyne Yi, and Michael Cera. You can catch new episodes on Monday’s through Thursdays at 11 PM on TBS.
