Conan O’Brien is back, y’all! Conan‘s new late night talk show Conan debuted last night on TBS and, to be honest, it kinda felt like he had never been away at all. Many folks wondered what Conan‘s new show would be like and last night we got our answer … Conan‘s new show felt very much like his old show … which is a very good thing, IMHO. The premiere episode of Conan began with a cold open skit that fictionalized how O’Brien lost his gig hosting The Tonight Show earlier this year:
Then, naturally, he gave his opening monologue and — for the most part — things felt right again:
After the jump, watch video of Conan‘s opening skit and his monologue in full — for those of you who cannot watch video right now, you can read a full transcript of Conan‘s premiere monologue on Conan last night …
Thank you. Thank you and welcome to my 2nd Annual first show.
Yes, I know what you guys are thinking, “Hey, it’s the guy from Twitter.”
Welcome to my new show, “Conan.” People ask me why I named the show “Conan.” I did it so I’d be harder to replace.
This is an exciting night. I’m glad to be on cable. The truth is, I’ve dreamed of being a talk show host on basic cable ever since I was 46.
And things are going well already. I’m happy to report that we’re already #1 in TBS’s key demographic — people who can’t afford HBO.
I’m going to be honest: It’s not easy doing a late-night show on a channel without a lot of money and that viewers have trouble finding. So that’s why I left NBC.
But the weird thing is this: I put myself and my staff through a lot because I refused to go on at midnight. So I get this job at eleven. Then, yesterday, Daylight Savings Time ended — so right now it’s basically midnight. In fact, it’s 12:05.
A lot’s happened in the news since I went off the air — and I was hoping I could cover it all in one joke. But then I realized that’s like trying to keep an Icelandic volcano from wearing Lady Gaga’s meat dress while a trapped Chilean miner cleans up the BP oil spill…Brett Favre’s penis.
And … he’s back. Just after the premiere episode of Conan debuted last night, Coco posted a thank you message on his official Twitter profile:
I thought the show was great and a lot of fun. Did you tune in last night? What did you think?
