Conan Ratings Are Solid

conan_owl_120.jpgOr! Or, maybe Conan O'Brien has the right format after all: According to a TBS press release, Conan's premiere was watched by 4.1 million viewers. To compare, Conan's debut as host of The Tonight Show back in June of 2009 garnered around 8.2 million viewers. Sure, like last time, there was a massive buildup of hype and, yes, his numbers will fall. But, with The Tonight Show, there was a built in audience that was "giving the new guy a chance." Pretty much anyone who turned in last night -- except some very confused George Lopez fans -- knew what they were getting and probably weren't disappointed (except me, apparently). Onward!

    It was an ok start, but I like Conan and know that I'll tune in daily

    I wasn't really expecting anything groundbreaking last night. The show was solid. I laughed my ass off.
    NBC and Zucker are such asses, they shot Conan like 100 times and got away with it. Revenge belongs to Team CoCo!
