9UnknownMen Posted June 2, 2009 Share Posted June 2, 2009 Conan on 'The Tonight Show' wins high ratingsBy DAVID BAUDER – 59 minutes ago NEW YORK (AP) — Conan O'Brien has reason to smile after his debut as "Tonight" show host. His first Nielsen Media Research report card showed a 7.1 rating and 17 audience share in the nation's biggest media markets. Those numbers indicate more people checked out O'Brien's show out than watched David Letterman's "Late Show" on CBS and ABC's "Nightline" combined. "We were very happy," said O'Brien's boss, Ben Silverman, co-chairman of NBC Entertainment and Universal Movie Studios. The trick is the second night, and the third — and the hundreds more likely to come. O'Brien set himself apart early from predecessor Jay Leno with his reliance on taped comedy bits, but that approach drew some mixed reviews from the critics. "I just wish O'Brien had shown more nerve on his opening night," said David Zurawik, The (Baltimore) Sun TV critic. O'Brien's Nielsen numbers were 19 percent lower than Leno's farewell Friday night, which had an 8.8 rating and 20 share. History suggests goodbyes draw more interest than hellos, even if Leno's exit is only temporary. (He hosts a prime-time weeknight show starting in September.) Leno drew more than 16 million viewers to his 1993 debut replacing Johnny Carson; Carson's farewell was seen by 41 million people. A typical "Tonight" show this season had a 4.0 rating. Each ratings point represents 1 percent of the nation's homes with TV, which means 7 percent of homes had someone watching O'Brien on NBC. The audience share is the percentage of televisions on at a given time; 17 percent were tuned to O'Brien. O'Brien opened his show with an extended segment supposedly showing him running across the country from New York to Los Angeles, only to realize when he got there he had forgotten his keys. Separate taped bits also had him commandeering a tram full of tourists on the Universal lot and driving his Ford Taurus in his adopted, auto-obsessed hometown. The Washington Post critic Tom Shales said it wasn't encouraging seeing O'Brien devoting the entire first half of his debut to himself. Newsday's Verne Gay said opening-night jitters were apparent. "The first night of what will probably be the first night of the rest of Conan O'Brien's professional life was not a disaster," Gay wrote. "Not at all. But it was far from a success ... A few million `Tonight' show habitues turned to their spouses and said, `tell me AGAIN Mabel why NBC dumped Leno for this guy?'" Entertainment Weekly's Ken Tucker said the debut was "glitzy, glamorous fun" and that the taped material showed how much planning O'Brien is putting into the show. Silverman said he was optimistic that O'Brien can keep NBC ahead of its chief late-night competitor, Letterman. O'Brien is 46; Letterman 62. "I'm hoping that Conan's youth and smart sense of humor and kind of transparent kindness comes across," he said. "I think that comes through with Fallon and Leno, too. These are genuinely kind people that care about the people around them." Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Minifig Posted June 2, 2009 Share Posted June 2, 2009 Even me, a LONG time fan of Conan didn't understand why he had to bring back Andy Richter... To stand behind a podium and laugh at his jokes? Gee. I wanna get paid to do that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Xero Posted June 3, 2009 Share Posted June 3, 2009 I don't think Joel wanted to move to LA so Conan had to get a new announcer. Who better than Andy. Plus Andy was with him back on late night. It's nice to see him have a spot on the new show, even if its just announcing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nightwind Hawk Posted June 3, 2009 Share Posted June 3, 2009 I have always watched the Tonight Show and so far I really miss Jay Leno... last night wasn't funny at ALL. A few jokes were funny, the car clip was good... but all he does is stand there quiet or yell nonsense o_O Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Give it time he will loosen up, its his first week of a new show. He was on the air for over a decade before he started getting crazy, not that it will take as long but he's gotta capture the crowd before he starts making an ass out of himself. Although his pimp gear when he went shopping was hilarious. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SolidSapphire Posted June 4, 2009 Share Posted June 4, 2009 I think i like Conan better than Leno, I'm glad he's on earlier because i missed the show a lot when it came on after Leno. I think this change will be good and i predict Conan will do well.. Plus he is funny and wild where as Leno is a bit more laid back.. I still like Leno, don't get me wrong, I just don't know about 4 late night shows, Please cut Carson because i never watch that show i don't think anybody else does..

Xero Posted June 4, 2009 Share Posted June 4, 2009 Norm AND Nealon! ****ing right on. Those are gunna be great. Screw Eddie Murphy, we need Charlie Murphy up in that bitch. I hope Conan stops doing the string dance at the start, I don't want him abusing it, it was nice when he did it now and then, now he's made it part of the routine. I am loving Andy back, he adds a lot more to it that I really like, his swap of cat and executive was classic. And naturally the year 3000.
