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.

The... Not Fucking Ninjas

I made a video the other day that i've now posted on YouTube, where i'm going off about some scenes in the American Ninja movies. I had been meaning to do the video for a while, and even took the scenes from the movies I talk about and show a fair while ago now, but never got around to actually doing the other bit because my microphone was fucked.

In the end, I ended up just filming myself with my phone and put it together with the footage. Hopefully it will get as popular as my last video, but I doubt it will. Ninjas don't seem to be as cool these days in the interweb. Take a look below.

The... Late Night

So, it is Tuesday night here in Australia and I have just watched the opening of the new version of Late Night, starring the insufferable Jimmy Fallon. I felt I had some sort of obligation to do so because the last two hosts of the show were comedy geniuses, and I was hoping that somehow, Jimmy Fallon wouldn't suck like he usually does. Too bad that Jimmy Fallon isn't a comedy genius, and he does indeed suck like he usually does.

I watched up to the point that he pleaded for the audience to stay to watch the rest of the show before the Robert DeNiro interview. My god, how the hell did this man get to be the host of a show that had David Letterman and Conan O'Brien as the previous hosts? He couldn't even look directly at the camera for his stupid 'slow news jam' or whatever the hell it was called, and looked at the tele-prompter the whole time.

Really? He still does that after all the years he was on Saturday Night Live? He hasn't learnt how to… oh, I don't know… memorize a few lines here and there? You're a fucking comedian. Did you use cue cards and tele-prompters during your career as a stand-up? Does he still giggle during every single joke he tries to complete?

All I have to say to Mr Fallon is: Please, stop raping comedy, and shoot yourself in the face already.
