TBS - Very Annoying The fact that CoCo has consented to even \*\*\*do \*\*\*these commercials, yet alone allow them to be aired, is embarrassing. What a loser. And PS, George Lopez? Moving to 12? ZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZ Getting bumped by Conan is humiliating… you should bitch and moan like CoCo did, and maybe YOU’LL get a nice payday and new show! Conan O’Brian = Male Joan Rivers. ---

> [@Tarwater](#): > > Not bad. What else have you got? not much. Sadly, I was on the SD when I saw the 30th promo commercial for Coco the red headed monkey’s show today. O’brien sitting in a dark studio like a weirdo waiting for Monday wasn’t funny. It was sad, because I think it’s a lot closer to the truth than we all know. If I truly cared about him, I would have put this in the pit. My lack of real interest in him caused me to type this less than epic OP, which didn’t muster the vitriol required for the Pit. I’m hoping someone else will pit him after his first show airs. I cannot bear to watch it. ---

In all seriousness, I thought he was so hot in that desk-washing commercial, I now consider his show appointment TV. ---

I cannot bear to watch it. I actually like the waiting-in-the-dark commercial. But then I like all the Conan commercials on TBS; they’re funny as hell. Even though I’ve never watched the show. Can someone explain the bit with the stripper’s odd dance to me? Is there a famous Conan dance skit I don’t know about? ---

I don’t wish him ill will, I think there is a market for him, though it is MUCH younger than me, (College kids and seniors in high school). > [@](#): > > The show will air Monday through Thursday, rather than the full 5 days, similar to the previous schedule of Late Night with Conan O’Brien which aired Tuesdays through Fridays up until 2006.[5] Conan’s hour-long 11pm timeslot will directly compete with Comedy Central’s The Daily Show and The Colbert Report, as well as the first 25 minutes of NBC’s The Tonight Show with Jay Leno and CBS’ Late Show with David Letterman Here’s a link to the [Wikipedia](http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Conan_(TV_series)) entry (quoted above) and the [official site](http://www.teamcoco.com/) We’ll see tomorrow night 🙂 ---

Problem is, the demographic that watches late shows is very old. I doubt that he’ll be able to draw a lot of young viewers. Of course, since he’s on cable now, the bar for good ratings is set much lower, so who knows. ---

I’m gonna try to watch, since I usually catch Stewart on the internet the following day. But I’m notoriously bad at watching TV at 10:00 so I don’t know. ---
