Nice to see some love thrown at Conan's Tonight Show with the header image.

Better two decades late than never.

Yeah, the age difference is vast to the point that I wonder if the writers would still do it that way if they could go back in time. But I think your father figure interpretation works.

Jimmy is supposed to be 39-41 in the Better Call Saul timeline. The writers have stated that the flashback with Jimmy in jail is supposed to be 1992 and that he is supposed to be "like 29." It has also been confirmed that the flashback of Jimmy stealing from the till was 1973, and there he supposed to be "about 9."

Odenkirk is in his 50s but Jimmy is supposed to be like 39-40 in the context of this show. Mid-forties in Breaking Bad.

While Depp's reasoning as quoted is asinine regardless, it's worth noting that Rossio would have been writing his draft way back in 2011, so Dark Shadows would have been way more of a present concern at that time, which kind of obliterates some of the speculation toward the end of this article.

Despite the credit, both Terry Rossio and Ted Elliot have made it very clear that the 1998 Godzilla doesn't resemble the script that they wrote. It was a page one rewrite by Roland Emmerich and Dean Devlin.

I think that would have been more than off-set by the benefit of Leno not being his lead-in. Conan is the only Tonight Show host who didn't actually get a transition. Having your predecessor be your lead-in on the same network, doing The Tonight Show in all but name, while being given the priority on guests is…

It wasn't for the sake of change, it was to keep Conan around. I think NBC was also rationalizing that they were making a long-term bid for a younger audience, which isn't insane even if it's a risk.

Seinfeld was right about the trap of comics viewing The Tonight Show as sacred ground, but I think he came off poorly when he basically said Conan should have posted the numbers in the six months he had. Especially when you consider the beginnings of his own NBC show.

Correct. NBC didn't want Conan to leave but they also didn't want to pay him anywhere near what FOX was offering, so they said stick around and you'll get The Tonight Show.

Leno was forced out but still said all those things about retiring and wanting to step aside without incident, etc., so he can certainly be faulted for saying those words in a very public way and then going back on them. He also handled it in the worst possible way when he called those claims "a white lie" to Oprah. …

I think he was getting more comfortable as he went along. Six months is not a long time to find that perfect balance that would make Conan's whimsy work for 11:35.

Probably. Those last two weeks when he was making material out of the controversy drastically improved his ratings, and that could very well have been his Hugh Grant moment retrospectively, especially when you consider that Letterman's scandal (which arguably buoyed Dave during Conan's first months) had faded.

I don't think Mike was charged. Didn't he ultimately claim through Jimmy that the gun wasn't Tuco's, but he doesn't know where it came from? I remember a line from Jimmy along the lines of, "Maybe it just fell out of the sky!"

I believe Conan is now.

Madison was not the hero we deserved, but he was the one we needed.

I think it was a good choice because the idea with MST3K:TM was for it to work for newcomers, and a movie that looks decent goes a long way toward casting that wider net. Not to mention This Island Earth has plenty of fodder right down to the monster wearing slacks. The biggest issue is how severely it's cut up,…

This is incredibly inaccurate.

My take is that Conan is a superb interviewer but his ideal format is hour-long with someone he's interested in (see his Serious Jibber-Jabber Youtube series). The whole 10-minutes with a celebrity thing is false by nature and while I think Conan manages it as well as anybody because he's one of the best…
