The... Imagine Conan’s Set
I've just started watching a clip of George Lopez's talk show that airs on TBS. His show is going to be pushed back an hour later on in the year to make way for Conan O'Briens new show, and he was happy to do it, because he knows that having one of the three greatest talk show hosts at the moment be your lead in is excellent for ratings.
I don't find Lopez that funny, and his style on his show seems very robotic and fake to me… but at least he had Louis CK appear to do a stand-up routine.
But anyway, my point is that if George Lopez can have the massive set that he has for his talk show, then can you imagine the set that TBS will be willing to give to Conan? Holy crap, Lopez's set is massive and looks like it is from a comedy special… so I can hardly wait for Conan's.
Hopefully Conan can make his new show just as good as his run on Late Night/Tonight Show, even though he won't be able to access any of his old characters or anything. I'm hoping that because Robert Smigel is the creator and puppeteer of Triumph, that he owns the rights to the character, and not NBC… because really… why else would they use Triumph. They should just let Conan have his old dog back.
