Gee, wonder who Laurne Michaels supports? I would have been shocked if Conan's former boss had gone with Team Leno.

Gee, wonder who Laurne Michaels supports? I missed the opening because of my brother. What happened? It was Jay and Conan on Larry King. Whoever was playing Coco was horrible and played like a pissed off kid, while "Jay" was cracking jokes. It was horrid other than the Larry King old jokes.

In other words, your typical SNL episode. Why is it SNL needs elections to actually be relevant, much less be funny?

Yeah it was a pretty bad piece, though I assume that SNL threw it together earlier today right before dress so I give them some leway.

The anything with Hartman and his cast mates or Eddie Murphy was great.

I kinda chuckled (not a full laugh) at the James Cameron short film. Didn't know Three Amigos inspired Avatar.

I've never watched Leno anyway because I always thought he sucked (okay, I watched him enough to forumlate the opinion that he sucks). It will be easy as hell for me to boycott him since I did it "by accident" all the time anyways. eh, if I had a million dollars, I'd buy it. If you had a million to burn I'd think there would be better uses for it... like say... Haiti? We're not going to get political or anything, but let me just put it this way. No. Simply no.

It was horrid other than the Larry King old jokes. The only one that had less material was Carson Daly. Even Sudekis' David Letterman did more than Hader's Conan.

Seth Meyers did a speech during Update basically supporting Conan.
"This week you didn't have to watch Cinemax to watch someone getting screwed on TV"
And jeez could Hader have at least tried to do a decent Conan?

Again the skit bombed, but it also was a last minute thing. I give it a pass. The update bit was stronger with Seth Meyers explaining the whole fiasco threw the guise of a mariage.

yeah the opening Conan/Leno skit on SNL was ok only for a few reasons... Jason Sudekis' David Letterman impression, and the return of Darrell Hammond if only for that one sketch.
otherwise, Fred Armisen as Larry King?!?!? and yeah, not the greatest Conan impression in that skit

otherwise, Fred Armisen as Larry King?!?!? the only person SNL should ever have playing Larry is Norm MacDonald "This is 'News and Views'. You heard it here first, gang: if you only see one film the rest of your life, it should be 'Jungle 2 Jungle'! Baltimore is a dirty, ugly city! Is it just me or is anyone else sick and tired of the Pope? Sometimes I wonder if giving women the right to vote wasn't a huge mistake! I don't care what anyone says. In my book, Ellen DeGeneres is not gay!"

From what I know of Carson Daly though, he was spot on.

"He was a company man to the bitter end" Leno: Tonight's guests are Joey Lawrence and Patrick Duffey. Hicks: Yes! Tonight's the night! Love the tag at the end "'He's just jealous because he's never been on the show'......You're so right". the only person SNL should ever have playing Larry is Norm MacDonald "This is 'News and Views'. You heard it here first, gang: if you only see one film the rest of your life, it should be 'Jungle 2 Jungle'! Baltimore is a dirty, ugly city!

If Timothy McVeigh is found guilty of the Oklahoma City bombing, he should go to jail. For a very VERY long time! I remember when Norm got fired from SNL he was on The Daily Show with Craig Kilborn (remember that show kids?!) and during "5 Questions" he was "Don Ohlmeyer: Punk ass bitch, or Bitch ass punk?" which is makes it too bad Kilborn doesn't have a show that Conan can be a guest on to ask about Zucker and/or Ebersol.

So...is anyone else not thinking about the 200 person staff that Conan is screwing over? I have no pity for a guy making $20 million a year, but if he gets a severance package that is rumored to be worth $30 million and he's giving the big middle finger to his staff, then he's just as bad as Leno, NBC, etc.
