Go Team Coco

Ghoulish Delight · 01-22-2010, 11:37 PM

Tonight's Conan's final night as host of the Tonight Show. You have to wonder at this point what NBC is thinking. The have to know that they're in a total lose-lose situation. Conan's popularity just jumped, and if Leno's wasn't already considered in the tank, it's floating around in there now. I would be shocked if he returns to 11:30 and doesn't fail as badly as, or worse than, he has at 10:00.

Meanwhile, I can't wait to see what Coco ends up doing. If I caught what he said on last night's show correctly, the severance deal he signed prohibits him from doing anything until September. Not sure if that includes online content. Because if he's smart (and he seems to be) he'll be all over YouTube et. al come Monday morning. My real hope is that he'll get to work coming up with something that's not yet another "monologue-sketch-interview-interview-musical guest" cookie cutter show that he can sell to another network. Probably a pipe dream, but I think he's got the momentum to pull it off.

I'll be watching tonight, should be fun. I'm mostly hoping he lays into Hanks for starting the whole "Coco" thing
