Final Countdown to Conan!

TBS debut is Mon, Nov 8.
‎4 days til Conan O'Brien! It's like Santa coming into your house late at night. A tall, pale, ginger Santa. And I can't wait.

Conan's Coming Home!

Oh. Mah. Gawd.


In a display of sheer brilliance, Conie & Co. are taking it on the road with the "Legally Prohibited from Being Funny on Television Tour" that rolls into town in June.


His NBC-induced TV sabbatical ain't stoppin' him none (besides he clearly needs to get out of the house). In the past week, he - well, his online presence - has resurfaced strong. He showed up on twitter last week as @conanobrien thus forcing J-Lamo and his minions to start a twitter account of their own; there's a site set up - http://www.teamcoco.com/ - as well as the I'm with Coco facebook group -http://www.facebook.com/imwithcoco?v=wall.
Tickets went on-sale at what appears to be simultaneous to the Boston shows' announcement.
And we haz some! 
Wicked psyched.

See you at the Wang, Coco.

Oh, Conan!

I've had a thing for Conan O'Brien for years. It goes way back. I guess I'm into tall, pale, self-deprecating-yet-endearingly-genius-comedy-writers-turned-unwitting-show hosts. He's always been tops on my DVR's priority list and I'm feeling kind of traumatized in the way I'd imagine having to say goodbye to my summer camp boyfriend that I swore to love forever. I want to make a Conie pillow to make out with until I can see him again (I never did meet a boy at any summer camp or vow to love forever, nor did I ever make out with a pillow).

I've watched him from those early days in 1993, through those first few "lost years" (a.k.a. the first 3) that it took him and his staff to really find their collective groove. I loved that he was the comedic underdog and a local kid that had spent half of his life in and around Boston. And, yup, he’s quirky, he’s goofy, and he’s awesome. The past week has proven Conan to be a pearl among the network swine. And he will be the proverbial phoenix to rise from the ashes of getting royally fucked by the company he called home for 20 years. The way he walked away from this "job of a lifetime" is testament to the fact that this kid is not just some high-paid corporate suit. He is the real deal.


I'm with you, Coco. I'll wait for you.

Now, here's to hoping Jimmy can hang for a while.
