oh man that is awesome! I would have approached Pierre and just hold a random conversation with her. Just to hear him talk. That guy is comedy gold. He should be in movies.

No kidding. But I think it's the only thing LA people find hilarious. It got laughs every night for 17 years on Leno.
Conan's free fall continues. NBC is making the argument that they're getting the all important 18-49 demographic, however does that really matter if your losing in overall viewers? I'm not surprised to see the shift simply because Leno's audience was older and would naturally shift over to Letterman. http://pifeedback.com/eve/forums/a/tpc/f/63310451/m/492108712 Letterman beats NBC's 'Tonight Show' David Letterman has overtaken NBC's "Tonight Show" in the household ratings. The CBS "Late Show" host earned a higher Tuesday overnight number than "Tonight," which swapped hosts from Jay Leno to Conan O'Brien last week. On the seventh day of Letterman vs. O'Brien, CBS earned a 3.4 metered-market household rating to NBC's 2.9. "Late Show" was also up 13% from last week and 17% from last year. The ratings gap between the hosts has been narrowing nearly ever night since O'Brien took control of the "Tonight" franchise. The last time "Late Show" topped Jay Leno's "Tonight" was back in October. NBC aired live NHL playoff coverage Tuesday in primetime, which led to low-rated local programming airing in the latter hours on the West Coast, providing "Tonight" with a weaker-than-usual lead-in. When asked about O'Brien's ratings yesterday at an event, NBC co-chair Marc Graboff noted that the late-night ratings game "is a marathon," not a sprint, and that this is a contest that will be fought over years. Also, Graboff said the network is focusing on the adult demo ratings in this race, the numbers for which have not yet been released by Nielsen. O'Brien attracts a younger audience than Letterman, and when those 18-49 figures become available this week, NBC expects they will tell a different story than the overnights, which measure overall household viewership. Still, NBC would rather not have to give up winning this hour in any major measurement category after having easily ruled the time period for years. http://www.thrfeed.com/2009/06...-for-first-time.html
I think Eddie Murphy was high like a MoFo on the show last night. I have never seen him act like that.
free fall? that's not an exaggeration. Eddie was a bit odd last night. Then again, he's been more and more odd as he has got older.
It took a while for Leno to gain his audience, he was getting trounced by Letterman when he debuted on CBS.
Jay's "What the hell were you thinking?" interview with Hugh Grant certainly helped turn the tide in his favor. Conan is still getting his feet wet so we'll see what happens. Letterman just agreed to a two year extension with CBS so he's in for a fight.

http://popwatch.ew.com/popwatch/2009/06/shatner-conan-tonight-show.html 'Conan': William Shatner hits a raw nerve Jun 18, 2009, 10:39 AM | by Annie Barrett Categories: Ridiculata, Star Trek, Television, Things that are classy Just watched Kobe Bryant's interview with Conan O'Brien because I like to pretend wayyyyy after the fact that I still vaguely care about basketball. But the real highlight of last night's Tonight Show was the following segment with William Shatner, (possibly blurred) vision in seersucker. I believe The Shat is the first of Conan's L.A. guests to require post-production pixelation of a body part. It was just his middle finger...though from the way he was gesturing at an arm's length to signify a different digit, you might expect otherwise. Press play below to hear Shatner discuss his raw nerve, mid-piss hallucinations, and why he shouldn't have to know how to make the Vulcan hand gesture himself. I just love it when Conan jumps on top of his desk. That great white giant is taller than the enormous L.A. moon. It's the only time a crazy late-night backdrop's proportions finally make sense. <object type="application/x-shockwave-flash" data="http://widgets.nbc.com/o/4727a250e66f9723/4a3d3c383f9eba16/4a3a4a80ea2a7c6f/fce7fab1/-cpid/4a7b83196bb55fb8" id="W4727a250e66f97234a3d3c383f9eba16" width="384" height="283"><param name="movie" value="http://widgets.nbc.com/o/4727a250e66f9723/4a3d3c383f9eba16/4a3a4a80ea2a7c6f/fce7fab1/-cpid/4a7b83196bb55fb8" /><param name="wmode" value="transparent" /><param name="allowNetworking" value="all" /><param name="allowScriptAccess" value="always" /><param name="allowFullScreen" value="true" /></object>
