explodo Posted February 17, 2009 Share Posted February 17, 2009 Anybody think Conan will have to stop having generally good musical acts after his move to the first slot? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
jakobnicholas Posted February 17, 2009 Author Share Posted February 17, 2009 Anybody think Conan will have to stop having generally good musical acts after his move to the first slot? I don't think so. Lettermen's able to have some good musical guests at 10:30, and beings Conan is a big music fan, he'll surely do the same. But I DO think that Conan might feel obligated to have more "popular" music acts than he does now. As for Friday, should we expect a new White Stripes song perhaps? Maybe a new album or summer tour announcement? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Sir Stewart Posted February 17, 2009 Share Posted February 17, 2009 Is Conan really moving the show to LA? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
jakobnicholas Posted February 17, 2009 Author Share Posted February 17, 2009 Is Conan really moving the show to LA? Yes. Sounds wierd doesn't it? Conan was on the Actor's Studio last month and admitted it will be a big change and that he's a little scared, not really knowing how he'll do in the 10:30 slot. But he says he doesn't plan to really make any drastic changes. He and his writers are gonna keep doing what they percieve to be funny. Conan's new show won't begin until June 1. USA Today has a tiny bit about it: http://www.usatoday.com/life/television/ne...onan-side_N.htm Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Sir Stewart Posted February 17, 2009 Share Posted February 17, 2009 Yes. Sounds wierd doesn't it? Totally. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Elixir Sue Posted February 17, 2009 Share Posted February 17, 2009 A little bird told me that they were going to do new material! Maybe a new album or summer tour announcement?That's what I'm expecting (or hoping for, at least). Quote Link to post Share on other sites
jakobnicholas Posted February 17, 2009 Author Share Posted February 17, 2009 Did the little bird tell you if they might sing more than one song? Sounds like the whole show will be old Conan bits, a couple "surprises", and then the White Stripes. I'm hoping Andy Richter or Amy Poehler's brace-wearing character or Pimpbot or Triumph make a showing. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

m_thomp Posted February 21, 2009 Share Posted February 21, 2009 Can someone explain to me why the reappearance of the White Stripes is causing so much excitement? I thought Jack White had passed into the same 'still relevant' territory as Billy Corgan. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
myboyblue Posted February 21, 2009 Share Posted February 21, 2009 Can someone explain to me why the reappearance of the White Stripes is causing so much excitement? I thought Jack White had passed into the same 'still relevant' territory as Billy Corgan. I believe the excitement comes from fans of the band that are really like seeing the band play together again. Your lack of excitement is likely related to the fact that you don't enjoy the band. What you are seeing here is what folks often refer to as a "difference of opinion". Hope this helps. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
KevinG Posted February 21, 2009 Share Posted February 21, 2009 i'm sorry, but that kind of sucked. why are you sorry? that was awful. I love the stripes, I love the song, but good god man, that was terrible. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
stooka Posted February 21, 2009 Share Posted February 21, 2009 I read somewhere that the song is a favorite of Conan's. The re-working of it was a pleasant surprise! I also got to watch it with my best friend, so that made it even better. Thanks jack & meg! Quote Link to post Share on other sites
