Guest MarvinisaLunatic Posted January 29, 2003 Report Posted January 29, 2003 If you can't get guests...the show won't last cause PEOPLE WONT WATCH after the novelty of a new show wears off. The guest situation is easy to figure out btw..the show is LIVE..
Guest Eagan469 Posted January 29, 2003 Report Posted January 29, 2003 Carson Daly=Boring, Good Looking but Popular with Celebs. Gets Good guest (Tonight: Dave Chappelle). Jimmy: Funny, Fat Ugly, Hated, Gets horrible guest. BIG Difference, Carson gets like $20 dollars for his show and brings in big guests...JKL gets Millions and gets Tammy Faye. I meant Johnny Carson
Guest Choken One Posted January 29, 2003 Report Posted January 29, 2003 Yeah, I won't be shocked when *Because of Bugetary problems, ABC has announced JKL will be Taped Live*. in about a Month at the most.

Guest Choken One Posted January 29, 2003 Report Posted January 29, 2003 Finally, Its over? Nope. more comin up.
Guest Eagan469 Posted January 29, 2003 Report Posted January 29, 2003 Armenian Comedian! Huzzah! Who?
Guest ant_7000 Posted January 29, 2003 Report Posted January 29, 2003 He actually turned on the Conan show and watching it during his OWN show.
Guest MarvinisaLunatic Posted January 29, 2003 Report Posted January 29, 2003 LOL..they are running Conan on the screens..
Guest Choken One Posted January 29, 2003 Report Posted January 29, 2003 U mean they couldn't even get the Armeanian Comedian? Tommrow's Guests Carrot Top and Adam Corrolla.
Guest ant_7000 Posted January 29, 2003 Report Posted January 29, 2003 The Bishop might find himself a new ho in that ghost lady.
Guest MarvinisaLunatic Posted January 29, 2003 Report Posted January 29, 2003 Newfound Glory and hopefully someone else.. This show comes off so amatuerish, even in the way that they don't prebook celebs like the other shows do..
Guest Eagan469 Posted January 29, 2003 Report Posted January 29, 2003 Conan on ABC! Great! Wow - that show sucked balls compared to last night
Guest MarvinisaLunatic Posted January 29, 2003 Report Posted January 29, 2003 Im not gonna bother watching tomorrow night.. Early feed of Smackdown > Jimmy Kimmel.
Guest Choken One Posted January 29, 2003 Report Posted January 29, 2003 Yeah...They REALLY need to work...Conan wasn't THAT bad when he started was he? ABC needs be ashamed that a 3rd hour show like Carson Daly can bring name players right off the bat with a $20 dollar budget and yet with MILLIONS J.K.L can't draw shit.
Guest Vern Gagne Posted January 29, 2003 Report Posted January 29, 2003 Conan was pretty bad of course he had never done anything in front of the camera, except play a page during a backstage skit on SNL.
Guest Choken One Posted January 29, 2003 Report Posted January 29, 2003 Yeah but Conan wasn't given a Year's worth of time to plan, given MILLIONS and tons o hype for the Super Bowl...and all J.K did was hire his buddies.
Guest Lethargic Posted January 29, 2003 Report Posted January 29, 2003 I watched it for the first time tonight. I hope you guys weren't lying about those first two shows being so funny. haha The only thing funny on here was Uncle Frank.
Guest imajackoff? Posted January 30, 2003 Report Posted January 30, 2003 I read that ABC is gunning for him to be the next Carson, and they're ready to support him for 20-30 years (I shit you not) Television networks are famous for having about as much forethought as the WWE. ABC saying they want to commit to an unproven commodity for 20-30 yrs is funnier than any show they've produced since Welcome Back Kotter.
Guest Justwitty Posted January 30, 2003 Report Posted January 30, 2003 The other problem with the 20-30 years thing is that Kimmel's brand of humor isn't built to last that long imo. Someone like Carson was accessible to just about everyone. (I watched the Best of Carson DVD over Christmas and I was blown away by how non-snide his show was) Kimmel, while damn funny, is too sarcastic and mean with his humor to be a success on a broad level, the likes of which they seem to be shooting for. He reminds me of Craig Kilborn in the sense that you have to "get" the host to appreciate the show. (I'm a HUGE Kilborn fan so I dig Kimmel as well) At some point, he'd have to tweak his style once the ratings stagnated to appeal to a wider audience and make ABC happier. But would he be as funny? Probably not. And therein lay the catch-22. (imajackoff? correctly pointed out that the main reason is the forethought ABC is notorious for lacking. Sports Night, Cupid, My So Called Life, etc.)
Guest Choken One Posted January 30, 2003 Report Posted January 30, 2003 I don't think Cupid belongs in that argument. However, I WAS think JKL would last a year to 3 years at first but after yesterday's abomination and it doesn't look any better, and with Ratings LOWER then what they used to have on after Nightline, "UpClose". I don't think he stands a chance no more and know what? I can't help but smile.
