The Tonight Show with Conan O'Brien

Ugh

Lampanelli. Can't stand her unless she's on a roast.
 
"What the hell?!"

Martin Short is one of the best talk shows guests ever, for any show.
 
Brian McCann has a new character that has to return!
 
Martin Short could write a book about penis stories.
 
And you'd buy 7...

They are very funny.

There was his locked out of his hotel room naked in Australia story from Conan last year and another one where as a kid he put some sort of cream on his penis and it turned red.
 
The results of Obama being on Monday. CBS destroyed NBC. Craig Ferguson had more viewers than Conan.
Though NBC performed much better than CBS back in March when Obama was on Leno.

Obama Leads Letterman to Ratings Win

By BILL CARTER
Published: September 22, 2009

Landing an appearance by the president seems to be a game-changer at least for one show in late-night television. On Monday night, President Obama lifted David Letterman to his most-watched “Late Show” in four years, with a total of 7.218 million viewers.

That was more than enough to propel Mr. Letterman, on CBS, past his late-night rival on NBC, Conan O’Brien, in every audience category for the first time since Mr. O’Brien became host of the “Tonight Show” in June.

It also gave Mr. Letterman a bigger audience Monday than his longtime rival Jay Leno, whose new prime-time hour on NBC hit its lowest number to date, with 5.81 million viewers. (Mr. Leno can still claim precedence in one area, however. When he was still host of “Tonight” and Mr. Obama made the first late-night appearance by any sitting president last March, Mr. Leno attracted 14.6 million viewers.)

Mr. O’Brien wound up with 2.44 million viewers, his second-lowest total to date. In all the audience categories where he has beaten Mr. Letterman every night, he trailed Monday.

Mr. Obama’s appearance also helped deliver viewers to the program that follows Mr. Letterman, “The Late Late Show,” hosted by Craig Ferguson. Mr. Ferguson attracted his biggest audience ever, with 3.24 million viewers. He beat his NBC competitor, Jimmy Fallon, by more than two million viewers, and outdrew him in every audience category. (He even topped Mr. O’Brien in viewers by almost a million.)

As for Mr. Leno, he experienced a somewhat predictable falloff now that he is facing full first-run competition from two other broadcast networks. Mr. Leno finished third at 10 p.m., well behind the CBS hit drama “C.S.I. Miami” and the far-from-hit ABC drama “Castle.” “Miami” had 14.2 million viewers and “Castle” had 9.27 million.

Mr. Leno also dropped Monday in the 18-to-49-year-old audience NBC cares most about, to a 1.8 rating. (“Miami” had a 4.3 and “Castle” a 2.3 in that category.) NBC has maintained that any number above a 1.5 will be more than enough to produce big profits because of the lower cost of Mr. Leno’s show compared with expensive scripted dramas.
