I made it just over two minutes. Don’t want to see anymore.

I feel like the streaming platforms that still do weekly episode releases are the ones doing it right. Make each drop appointment television that people (and social media) will spend the next week talking about, creating anticipation for the next episode. The availability of previous eps is the obvious advantage over…
One of the things I’ll have to explain to my daughter is the concept of missing a sitcom when it aired, trying to catch it in syndication, and realizing they’re still mid-season 2 in the cycle so it’ll be at least another month before they hit a patch of episodes I hadn’t seen yet.
John Oliver’s tale of bombing in Edinburgh had me crying.
LOVED Welcome Back, Kotter so much when it originally aired. but we were a one TV household and my dad did not like the show at all. At all.
“Leno with Kevin Eubanks wasn’t so great either.”
To be fair: Leno with the fucking Beatles wouldn’t have been great. Leno, live from Woodstock, minus all the mud, wouldn’t have been great.
This kind of reminds me how some pro sports teams won’t foot the bill to have their announcing teams travel to cover the team on the road at all times. Like, is this an insane expense for a massive operation?!
I saw Conan in studio a couple times, and man does the band make a difference. Not only was the MW7 great, but it was pretty integral to creating the vibe of the show.
Now playing
Slightly more expensive.
It’s worth it for the great list of music leaders. Adding Colbert and Jon Batiste, at least until Batiste’s career went huge.
but, ironically, it plays Manitoba
The proliferation of awkward sentences in AV Club articles is ridiculous these days. Hopefully the new management springs for a copy editor, because it seems like every other article here will have instances of really weird wording that makes what the author is saying hard to parse.
There’s usually a kernel of truth in there.
“try imagining a version of The Tonight Show With Jay Leno without Kevin Eubanks.”
- yeah...no, I’m totally fine with that.
He's worth every penny!
A couple of these guys are in my favorite band of all time Les Savy Fav so it’s a shame to see them of all people lose this spot.
I guess this might mean Les Savy Fav and Girls Against Boys could have more time to make new music (though sucks for them personally.) I think Les Savy Fav is coming out with a new record soon...
I don’t watch regularly, but that band is “fronted” by Fred Armisen like once a month. He was probably there more early on, but I don’t remember seeing much of him.
Money well spent!
It's probably all that money they pay every time they let Wally talk.
