Conans comic con week was frustrating because he was at comic con, which is the perfect venue to film ridiculous remotes and do hilarious bits and he spent almost all of it conducting lame interviews (all of which were overcast and thus even more flaccid and weak) or pimping the loving pop toys which always are a good five minutes or so of every episode Like he was at comic con, he could've done interviews with cosplayers, walked the show floor, done something with video games, brought along triumph, and instead he did a quick monologue, then one bit with Andy (which was always the best part of the episode), then two tepid and overlong interviews The irony is that the interviews were both too long and not long enough; especially since it was at comic con, the fact that he conducted this ten minute interview with eight or nine people at a time meant it turned into the first ten minutes of every comic con panel, when the host is trying to read the room and get all the pleasantries out of the way as they ask the most asinine-boring questions to figure out who has a sense of humor and who doesn't, who likes to talk and who doesn't, who is good at talking and who isn't But then the interview ended once the warmup was over, it was just like...why

It seemed like he wasn't allowed to film inside the convention or something.

Seinfeld had Colbert on his show this week, and it's probably the best we've seen of him since his last show ended. http://comediansincarsgettingcoffee.com/stephen-colbert-cut-up-and-bloody-but-looking-good and Trevor Noah last week if you missed that, he did great http://comediansincarsgettingcoffee.com/trevor-noah-thats-the-whole-point-of-apartheid-jerry and Bill Maher before that, being Bill Maher http://comediansincarsgettingcoffee.com/bill-maher-the-comedy-team-of-smug-and-arrogant since he already had Letterman, Leno, Fallon, and Stewart in previous seasons, he's been running through all the late-night hosts. It'd be cool to see Conan on. Nostalgia4Butts fucked around with this message at 06:27 on Jul 14, 2015 |

Both the timing of Comic-Con and the logistics of the con itself were probably why there weren't bits. They filmed stuff in advance for shows in Texas and Chicago, because they could air them any time. The Con itself doesn't officially begin until Thursday, so the Wednesday show was already going to be a bust for con footage. Then you only have 3 remaining shows on progressively busier days, with a huge amount of unknowns as far as lines and crowds go. And inside the convention center, forget filming anything meaningful, its much more cramped than it even looks in pictures, and the only people usually found filming anything are standing completely still doing tight shots next to a booth. Anyone doing a bit would immediately get mobbed or, at best, have to stop every 10 feet for another blocked pathway. Plus, there was the whole image of his Comic-Con shows being a thing you really couldn't afford to miss being at, and the best way to do that is stack the deck with celebrities. I was at the Saturday taping, and the energy was great because everyone loved being in front of surprises and major stars. Standing in line for a long while just to sit in a theater and watch something on a screen would've killed the energy they were hoping for. Also it was hard to hear what people were saying if someone kept talking while the audience was laughing or applauding, so any really funny bits would've had a lot of moments where people weren't laughing because they couldn't hear the joke. Now that they know how things go, they can probably set some stuff up offsite for next year that they could bring people to film at, like how most outlets hold offsite discussions with celebrities after they get the hell out of the convention center. They'll also know how to manage the audience better, too.

Seriously? Why would anyone want to watch a ten minute segment of celebrities doing the most surface-level of surface-level canned interviews (Man you sure do kill a lot of zombies, huh, Steven Yeun? Do you like killing zombies, Steven Yeun?) before being ushered offstage like so much garbage, ESPECIALLY when literally earlier in the day you could watch an at least hour-long segment of literally those same celebrities being asked better and deeper questions, with a chance of YOU asking those questions? Were the interviews longer when taped and just cut down for time or something like, there's no excuse to do a bad copy of SDCC panels within the constraints of a 42-minute programme when the actual thing does it better, especially when most to all of those panels are streamed or recorded in some fashion If you're gonna bring a bunch of celebs by at least have them do bits or something, that Liam Cunningham "bit" was the best use of a celebrity the show had all week because it wasn't terrible boring dumb obvious questions to an overstuffed panel under super strict time restraints that meant everyone was rushed, it was the worst overfocus on interviews (which are almost always the loving boringest part of late night anyways) combined with way too many people in them imagine if instead of asking Norman Reedus a bunch of really dumb questions about how many zombies he's killed on his time on TWD they played the house of the dead arcade game for ten minutes to see who "killed zombies best" or some poo poo like that NieR Occomata fucked around with this message at 05:41 on Jul 15, 2015 |

Toxxupation posted:it was the worst overfocus on interviews (which are almost always the loving boringest part of late night anyways) This is really my biggest problem with the format. Good guests are few and far between and good interviews are even loving rarer. There's a reason that Norm Macdonald clip gets posted so drat frequently. It's because the competition is scarce.

The worst part is that the demands of late night airing nightly mean that the same pool of comedians and stars promoting poo poo will show up over and over and over and over and over and over and over so if you watch anything more than one late night program, or even if you don't and just know the star being interviewed on any real level from previous interviews you get the same boring loving anecdotes from the same like dozen people you know how desperately loving uninteresting that goddamn anecdote that's actually a repurposed joke that aziz ansari tells about meeting jay-z/kanye/fiddy/p diddy and getting drunk and doing standup is at this point, you know how many loving times i've heard it across his comedy albums and billions of interviews on late night programs jesus CHRIST

It's why I like animals and Steven Ho. The animals are at least different and unpredictable by nature and Steven Ho's "interviews" are basically just extended and scripted skits.

In the span of about an hour you asked why someone would watch these boring celebrity interviews, and then complained about how much you dislike seeing the same celebrity interview questions all the time because you watch so many of them.

If I want to see the Chinese guy from the Walking Dead talk, its in connection to his role on the Walking Dead and thus I want to hear him talk about.... the Walking Dead. The video game idea is stupid and you're stupid for suggesting it. I hope you choke on Jimmy Fallon's balls you goddamn idiot.

You're pretending that b contradicts a when a is caused in part by b Good interviews are great, bad interviews that consist of the same dozen or so prompted questions that lead celebs to tell one of a tiny selection of "personal anecdotes" they tell all the time on every late night show are loving pointless Like I can't loving wait to see this weeks Paul Rudd interview on Conan because I'm really excited for how he's going to bring up the dumb loving Mac n' me clip like he always does because every single time it's hilarious That's what I'm talking about, good interviews do stuff like that NieR Occomata fucked around with this message at 15:49 on Jul 15, 2015 |

I actually very rarely watch the interviews precisely because the Q&A are so predictable. Guests I like watching are grandfathered in, and guests I might like I'll try to give a watch to but I probably average maybe one interview a week.

So the article says the joke appeared the same night on the show, but the blog post linked from the article was posted at 4:00 something PM. Isn't the show also shot around 4 PM and the jokes would have had to have been finalized earlier than that? GutBomb fucked around with this message at 19:07 on Aug 3, 2015 |

It reminds me of people on Vine crying about joke stealing Well yeah you made a 6 second video with a lame joke about some current trend, even if no one came up with the same obvious joke on their own and were in fact stealing from you - why do you care? Granted this guy has more of a reason to care, but really.
