@ryndanriley5348 8 жыл бұрын
ratings say otherwise... especially when he was on the tonight show. he doesn't test well with most demographics outside of younger people. for some reason Jay Leno tested better. weird, but true.
@ryndanriley5348 8 жыл бұрын
+LiGht YaGami I'm sorry, but that's just simply not true. I didn't ever say people hate him, I said people don't find him likable. that's why he doesn't get older viewers. he used to make a lot of jokes about it on the tonight show with how little kids are afraid of him and older people think he looks like a creep. those jokes came from responses to focus group testing. I'm sorry you don't want to believe it for some unapparent reason, but there's a reason his viewership declined so much. and comparing it to Justin bieber is called a fallacy of false analogy, and you should try not to use it in presenting arguments. since fans of pop music listen to whatever is publicized and talked about, but people make TV choices based on seemingly random preferences and whims. instead look for evidence to back up your claims. and evidence that's pertinent to the conversation, not critic reviews when we both already agree that he's the funniest and should therefore have the best reviews. my whole point was that people don't watch him as much because they don't find him likable. that's an easily Googleable fact. haha.
@ExtremeTG 8 жыл бұрын
Ryndan Riley i completely understand ur point, but do u not think this was when he was the host of late night show rather than now. When he took over the late night, a lot of viewers disliked him, and after decade of being the host, he improved and just overall grew on people, still some people didnt like him (older people, middle age, etc), but he really became a fan favorite after what happen with him and jay leno, and now everyone who know conan at least see him in a positive light (some are dying hard fan, some thinks hes alright, but rarely see people disliking him or even hating him) unlike jimmy fallon for example
@ryndanriley5348 8 жыл бұрын
+ExtremeTG yeah I think so. the social commentary definitely changed when he got screwed by nbc. people still don't watch him as much as any other host though, which seems to point to those people still not being into him, for whatever reason. being on TBS can't fully explain it because other cable hosts still pull in more viewers. I haven't heard any focus group results since then though, so maybe it's changed. anything we can say outside of things like that is really just speculation.

If never used to like Jim Carrey but after watching that speech, not only was I in a huge puddle of tears, I think the man is an unquestionable genius. for those of you who have not seen it yet - even Carrey haters like I once was - push aside your opinion of him for a moment and give it a watch.

His style is like no other. He can make fun of himself and not do it in a depressing way. He can also be smart and articulate. I'm glad you're in LA Conan because the westcoast needed someone like you. Screw NBC and their garbage crap. Conan is the funniest talk show host ever.

I think Mike Rowe said something about that phrase. I agree with him when it says it's an absurd phrase that degrades the success of people who choose to work in manual or skilled labor - welders, mechanics, plumbers, electricians - or pretty much anything outside of requiring a higher education.

Wanderlust Nova Everything you can work smart. Mindful and deliberate working for 2 hours is better than mindless working for 8 hours. If your work is causing you to be stressed then you've been doing it wrong.

This is the best video I’ve seen in a long time. I love Conan. “It is our failure to become our perceived ideal that ultimately defines us and makes us unique. It’s not easy, but if you accept your misfortune, and handle it right, your perceived failure can become a catalyst for profound reinvention.” “Whether you fear it or not, disappointment will come. The beauty is that through disappointment, you can gain clarity, and with clarity comes true conviction and originality.”

why is everyone so surprised that Conanwould knock this speech out of the park? He does a monologue 5 nights a week and he has speech writers.. He is in his element speaking in front of college kids
