[vodpod id=Video.15294461&w=425&h=350&fv=]
I’m not sure if I’ll get a chance to write up last night’s Louie this morning, but after it aired, former Late Night with Conan O’Brien writer Louis CK also showed up on TBS’s Conan to chat with his old boss. (It was also, you’ll recall, as a guest of Conan’s on NBC that Louis CK gave the …

Team Loco Alert: TBS Cancels Lopez Tonight
After two years–and a move from 11 p.m. to midnight to make room for Conan O’Brien–TBS is canceling George Lopez’s talk show, Lopez Tonight. The last show is tomorrow, so it’s going to be a busy 24 hours of finale writing.

[vodpod id=Video.7746632&w=425&h=350&fv=]

The Night Shift – Quick, Who's Funnier: Will Forte's Ted Turner, or Any Current SNL Character?
I ask the question in all seriousness, as someone who has been left aghast by this truly abysmal season of SNL.
As one host after another has been squandered, as one irksome recurring character after another has killed time, Saturday Night Live has grown increasingly lazy and uninspired. I now tune in for Weekend Update and Andy …

The Night Shift: Jon Stewart Confronts the Arizona Shootings, Makes a Passionate Appeal For Sanity and Hope
Talk about a hard night to be a late night comedian. Given the very public violence of the weekend, and the attempted assassination of a sitting United States congresswoman, more than a few media observers wondered aloud as to how the nation’s funny men would return to the air Monday night.

The Night Shift: Conan Gives Fans A Mission – And Reminds Us How Late Night Has Become an All-Day Affair
Something notable is changing about the relationship between late night television programs and the fans who watch them. Once upon a time, the back and forth was based around consistency and familiarity. People would kick back in the recliner, lay back in bed, and tune in to see their old friend Johnny, Dave and Jay. But today, thanks …
The Night Shift: Conan Ups the Antics, Literally Pulls Out All The Stops (Video)
Okay, so let’s get this out of the way at the top: I’m a big Conan O’Brien fan, and I’m thrilled the red haired one has returned. But was I the only one who thought the opening night show was a little…meh? The cold open video, repurposing Conan as Sonny from The Godfather was hilarious. But the rest felt just a little… awkward, as …
