Late Night Talk Shows

What's a Jay Leno.
-
@robbybedfart:
You folks DO realise that, unless you have a neilson's box, you don't actually affect the ratings one way or the other, right? You can watch or boycott all you like, it doesn't make a lick of difference either way.
I like to pretend it matters.
BTW Darkstorm, this monstrosity is whats know as a Jay Leno.
-
Hope they can work around it cause it just wouldnt be the same without him.
It'd be like an Abbott & Costello movie without Abbott.

Can someone tell me how T.V. programs do get ratings?:/

About 5000 people have a router installed on their TV set, this data gets collected and extrapolated to all the millions of americans who have a TV.

Oh I see!!! It's like taking a sample population to calculate the number of individuals in the true population. But for T.V. viewing.
-
Because obviously there is reason or practical way to calculate what every person in this country is watching all of the time.
this is how good Leno is: he made a joke about Bush & Cheney. so relevant. genius.
anyways this is probably a reverse psychology experiment to get everyone that watched the tonight show (R.I.P) to go to bed at 11:35
-
What next, sitcom otaku?! Arguing over which character from The Big Bang Theory could beat which character from Yes Dear in a fight?!
This has already been going on for awhile .___. I've heard people sit around IRL arguing and fangirl/boying over that shit. Though actually, the late night talk show fanboys scared me more then the sitcom otaku..
-
Ah according to wikipedia it is 25000 households that are recorded, not 5000 my information must be a bit outdated. I just did a bit of calculation for one of my favorite shows (legend of the seeker) to put things in perspective regarding ratings, based on these numbers and knowing that 114.5 million households have a TV set in the US.
Last week it had its peak of 2.7 million viewers, which means ~590 people have been recorded watching it. But this week it dropped to a season low of 2.1 million or ~460 recorded people. So about 130 people decided to watch the Olympics instead. (this is not exact because they use more advanced statistics than I did but it's the general idea)
Curious to know what ratings Leno is going to get with this whole ordeal, it really makes him come off badly but I wonder if the typical American knows/cares enough about this to make a difference.

I must see this. I have to see the inevitable forum topic: "what do the characters in The Drew Carey Show represent in the American psyche?"
But seriously, this thread still makes me ashamed to like Conan O'Brien.

By that reasoning you'd be ashamed to like anything ever.
-
I think the shock at the discovery of talk show fanboys is contributing to my shame, to be honest.
-
Everything has fanboys & fangirls. Even you, Captain Schmuck.
EDIT: Oh crap, it's Shmeckie! I wasn't trying to insult you, I've always read your name like that. Never seen the word Shmeckie before.
-
Id be more ashamed if I actually used the word otaku to describe intense fans of something. Damn thats nerdy.
-
Captain Shmeckie has made nothing but absolutely horrible posts.

Otaku seemed pretty mainstream last I chequed.
Weeaboo is the new nerd word.
-
Be a man, spell it "checked".

If I called someone that Im pretty sure they would have no idea what I was talking about. It just seems normal if you have been in the "loop" so long your brain is fried. When you start calling people that like its a normal thing IRL its pretty nerdy you must admit. Outside of manga and video game discussion it really has no purpose.

Win win for TBS if George keeps up on his end. I'm still amazed that TBS got Conan.

Their programming has been going towards more comedy for like the past 5 years or so with all the Seinfeld/Family Guy/Tyler Perry stuff.
When they got George Lopez I was secretely hoping for a Conan deal when all this crap in NBC happened.
Guess Fox wasn't ready to commit. Or maybe Conan just doesn't like FOX from his past experiences as a Simpsons writer?

Probably a combination of both plus maybe he's just tired of big networks after all that has happened wouldn't blame him.
-
I'm happy that Coco will be back in November. Now lets hope that Andy and Max will return as well.
-
yes hopefully the rest of the crew will be back. i don't see why not since there still producing in LA.
-
Yaaaay, Conan! You know that first episode is going to be a killer.
And he now joins his good friends John Stewart and Stephen Colbert as cable-employees. I want another showdown.

I am severely disappoint because Conan's shows are chronically deficient of pretty girls.
George Lopez at least got that right by having a cute 'daughter' on his show, and now I have to wait an hour longer to see her. :sad:
Boo!

Why? Thought we were talking about Lopez Tonight not The George Lopez Show.

Oh, he got a talk show? Call me Slowpoke, whenever people name drop GL I either think of drills or the sitcom.
Interesting factoid: Carmen's actress is actually Armenian, not Hispanic/Chicano/Latino. I actually took offense when she was written off because the cast was supposed to be "100% hispanic". That's not cool at all!

I'm ok with a non latino in a Latino show getting canned oO;
Then again I've seen all kinds of crazy shit.
George's talk show is actually decent… he fails at interviewing but at least his humor and skits make up for it in strides. Maybe a Conan lead-in will help him (apparently it was Lopez who CALLED conan and told him to give TBS a shot).
-
I personally think Lopez Tonight is crap. I just dont find him funny. I thought it would be cancelled already. Im sure he needs Conan, you can always tell when talk shows are going down when they start to get less and less important guests. He's now getting C list celebrities on his show and Im sure he will be canceled soon. I dont even think Conan can save him. You know your desperate when you are willing to give up your time spot just to save your show and keep it going a little longer. Bit too late IMO.

He just got renewed for a second season…
Literally happened in the past couple of days.
-
This is great news! I may have to start watching Lopez Tonight, he seems a lot cooler than I ever had thought after this.
-
TBS is worldwide, is more stable than FOX or WB which have a history of cancelling things after 3 episodes, and has less ridiculous ratings demands. Conan gets to OWN his show, and he's going to be the heavily advertised main star tentpole that the network builds itself around. He won't get censored or limited, and due to his many years on Late Night, he'll STILL get high quality guests. (And low quality one too… Stuff with animals is always hilarious.)
People seem befuddled when they hear "TBS", and its not a place that was thrown around, but, aside from it not being one of the big 4, it seems like an incredibly good position to be in and makes incredible sense now that its happened. And again, its not one of the big American 4… but its worldwide.
And its all good for Lopez too, because it gives him a much stronger lead in and a built in demographic and channel draw he wouldn't have gotten before. He'll be much better off an hour later with that kind of stronger lead in front of him.
Also, first reports from Conan's live show are in. Apparently he now has...
-the masterbating Panda.
-"The Chuck Norris as a Rural Policeman Handle."
-Triumph still belongs to Smeigal, so is free to be on the show, but we already knew that -

Sorry. Like millions of other people I dont really follow or care about Lopez Tonight news. Besides, networks renew crappy shows and cancel good ones all the time. Look at According to Jim which ran for 8 seasons and Arrested Development which only had 3. Whats your point?
-
It's cool Conan got a new show setup somewhere he's not gonna be canceled.
This topic kinda needs a new name, don't you think… it's still just titled about a momentary shift in when they were talking about him MAYBE leaving NBC.

Haters hate…
But seriously, it benefits TWO comedians; so why the animosity?

You're right. We should get a mod to do something about that.
…oyah. Right. On it.

Nice argument. So having an opinion makes me a hater? Im sorry if I upset you by saying I dont like Lopez Tonight. WTF? Its a freaking late show hosted by a C list actor interviewing C list guests late night on TBS. Why do you care so much if I dont like it? Is it your favorite show or something? And I have no more animosity to George Lopez than I do to any other crappy show.
-
Dude, your post was nothing but hating on him.
-
Dude, your post was nothing but hating on him.
What I said in my first post was true. He started off with good guests and now is reduced to C list celebrities. Tons of people, myself included have predicted him having a short run. I also said this is "my opinion." I cant find ANYTHING about that show I like and my post reflected that. I would have included some redeeming qualities if I had found any but I cant make stuff up just so I dont look like a "hater".

Coco's on TBS now, that's awesome great since TBS is on my cable package!
