After Monday night's debut of "Conan," Plenty of Critics - Including the Post's Hank Stuever And The New York Times's Alessandra Stanley - Pointed Out That Conan O'Brien spent a bit too much time is the NBC / "Tonight Show" / Jay Leno-related humor.
We see Their point. And this was something, as we noted on Monday, That we feared. Which is why, starting today, for what will presumably be a very limited time, we're instituting a "Conan" NBC joke count. Any references Thurs O'Brien's past life as "Tonight Show" host - or how lousy the NBC network or is Jay Leno's status as a disingenuous bully - It will be noted and added to the record.
Here's the last night's Tally, as well as Additional "Conan" comedy data and more video from night two of the talk show That Is Changing the Landscape of Late Night ... or at Least making us more likely Thurs tune into TBS.
The "Conan" NBC joke count for the Nov. Episode 9, nonsensically titled "Murder, She Tweeted": 4
This is a decided improvement over the Opening Night, Total, Which we stopped Trying Thurs calculate O'Brien once busted out the "NBC executives are hitmen" Routine Within the first five minutes of the premiere.
And really, O'Brien gets credit for only three of the NBC Those references since One Of These Four Came Out of the Mouth of the guest Tom Hanks. When O'Brien jokingly said Hanks That's popularization of the nickname Coco has ruined the comedian's life, Hanks quipped: "Finally, He'll blame someone has something Other Than Jay." Well done, Mr. Hanks. And for That, Shall you get a bucket of water dumped on your head. (See end of clip.)
