I’ve only watched the new show via clips on Facebook (so does that align me more Millennials or more Baby Boomers? Fuck it, never mind, I just don’t give a shit, I’m Gen X), but I can’t imagine Conan without a band. Seriously, Coco shitcanned LaBamba? Who’s gonna anchor his “Year 2000” bits?

Watched a couple more episodes.

Yeah, it’s just not the same. It feels rushed and cramped. Coco needs room to riff.
