Conan’s being Conan. Thank goodness

by TV

There’s been a lot of talk among TV critics this week about how Conan O’Brien’s ratings for “The Tonight Show” have slipped after one whole week and David Letterman has picked up more viewers. “Oh,” cry the media pundits, “Conan’s already in trouble, his show is too edgy, he needs more A-list guests.” And to that I say: Pfffffft. Let Letterman have Julia Roberts and Denzel Washington and the Jonas Brothers. They’re … Read More »

Best, worst of the past week

by TV

A look back at the best and worst in the past week of TV, as well as a sneak peek at what’s to come. Highlights 1. “The Tonight Show.” Conan O’Brien slid effortlessly into his new gig. His first night was a bit heavy on the prerecorded bits and didn’t flow particularly smoothly, but the shows improved each night as Conan relaxed and got into his old spontaneous, improv groove. It was … Read More »

Monday night recap: ‘Celebrity’ trash

by TV

“I’m a Celebrity, Get Me Out of Here”: Are you really a celebrity if no one’s ever heard of you? That’s the question I was asking last night as I watched the two-hour premiere of “I’m a Celebrity, Get Me Out of Here,” which was every bit as bad as it sounds. Spencer and Heidi from “The Hills” provided, well, pretty much everything — the (probably staged) drama, the unintentional comedy … Read More »

Best, worst of the past week

by TV

A look back at the best and worst in the past week of TV, as well as a sneak peek at what’s to come. Highlights1. “Rescue Me.” A few weeks ago we saw Callie Thorne’s Emmy clip. This past week we saw Denis Leary’s. Though the setup was a bit contrived, his angry, self-defensive, guilt-riddled conversation with his dead family members while in a drunken stupor was absolutely gripping. Turns out … Read More »

Changing of the guard at ‘Tonight Show’

by TV

Later, Leno, it’s Conan’s time now. Tonight, Jay Leno will sign off as host of “The Tonight Show” after 17 years. Conan O’Brien will take over the show Monday, and will be Leno’s final guest tonight (11:30 p.m., NBC). Don’t cry for Leno, it’s not like he’s going far. He’ll be back five nights a week in the fall for a primetime talk show that’ll probably destroy NBC as we know it … Read More »
