We disagree on Conan's material, but that's what makes horse races. Conan did try to broaden his appeal (at least so far as I could see), but it apparently didn't work. Regardless, I found it a step up from Leno's inanely dumbed-down inoffensive pap. > Remember how ABC told Kimmel that he needed to "broaden his appeal" -- > to women?

Kimmel seems to be a nice guy (especially in the way he went after Jay), but to me, his show is like cable-access. > Conan should have listened, too.

We have no way of knowing what, if any, notes about the show Conan was given, whether he refused to take any such notes, and why. Regardless, taking notes from Ebersol on comedy is like taking notes on nuclear physics from a raccoon. > That said, Zucker's still an asshole. Well, -that- we can agree on. --Dave Sikula
