Well, Mighty Max did come onto the show already knowing something about showmanship ;-)

>I like Conan and I think he can walk the line between "smart and funny" and "dumb and silly". I think Andy Richter is going to hold him because because he is all "dumb and silly". Conan's monologue seemed brutal last night. His interview with Will Ferrell on Monday was priceless. Max Weinberg is very underrated as a participant in the show.

>>It will also be interesting to see what happens with Conan's ratings after Leno's new show debuts this fall. I think there will be lots of people who will watch Leno and then say, "I've got my comedy fix, I don't need to stay up late". I won't be one of them. I never liked Leno and rarely watched him.

>>>So it's been a few days... what does everybody think about the Tonight Show with Conan?
