Conan O'Brien on the Tonight Show...

I finally got a chance last night to watch Conan O'Brien in his new host role on the Tonight Show after having missed the opening episode on Monday night. Anyone that really knows me is aware that I was a big fan of Conan when he was doing the Late Night show, so I was happy to hear a while back that he was gonna replace Jay Leno.

I did however, have a concern that NBC was going to make him alter his style of humor as the Tonight Show is more of a grown-up audience. After watching last night though, my fears have been eased as he brought the same style of comedy that made his previous show such a success. Same funny monologue as always before, and he even managed to bring Andy Richter back as his announcer, which was good to see. For those of you who don't recall, Andy was his co-host for the first few seasons on the Late Show, but left shortly thereafter to try his hand at Hollywood. Apparently he didn't appeal to mainstream America as he had a number of show flops and a stint or two on the big screen. I am glad to see him back though as he does a great job of being that funny sidekick and his sens of humor is similar to Conan's.

I am pretty sure that I won't see allot of the Late Night characters like Camel Toe Anny, The Masturbating Bear, and The Horny Manatee, but based on what I saw last night, I know they can keep the laughs a coming as I was on the floor laughing for most of the show. It will be interesting to see if everyone feels the same though and he keeps the ratings up. Guess we will have to wait and see.
