I agree that he needs time, but the primary differences for me are that Conan basically had no on-camera experience and had a sharp learning curve, but got pretty good. Fallon had (according to IMDb) seven or eight seasons on SNL, but came off looking like a guy they'd dragged off of the street and thrown in front of the cameras. (Though he frequently looked that way oin SNL, too, as I recall.) NBC and Lorne have too much invested in this to yank him quickly -- and if the numbers stay reasonable, there won't be any reason to even think of that option -- but if the first two nights are any indication, it's going to be ugly until he gets comfortable doing the gig. I couldn't stand to watch last night after about three minutes (my taped episodes of "Green Acres" were much funnier), but when I came back, Tina Fey had a look on her face that indicated she really didn't want to be there. Was that the case in the panel, or did I just hit a bad moment? --Dave Sikula --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ TV or Not TV .... Smart (TV) People on Ice!
