Does Jimmy Kimmel even have a band? From the first few months https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3Xqy2xHSbzs Similar to Conan with Max and Jimmy Vivino, there is no reaction-based relationship. The band plays, the host does his job, and that’s it. Jimmy Kimmel’s band, Cleto and the Cletones, is led by his childhood pal Cleto Esposito III.

Nostalgia4Butts posted:me either but his band game is incredibly strong I'm pretty sure Reggie could be the band leader for a moldy stack of phone books from 1974 and said stack would be called "the most magnetic personality in late night," such is his raw talent and knack for accentuating or throwing people completely out of their normal equilibrium. Reggie Watts is the best get James Corden could have possibly landed.

Conan on the new format, the new show, and the old hat of late night. It could be pretty interesting, it seems like a way to reinvigorate what he'd grown bored with, but there's also a sense of "whatever, I'll do this and nothing matters" which is apparently depressing but invigorating to him. "At this point in my career, I could go out with a grand, 21-gun salute, and climb into a rocket and the entire Supreme Court walks out and they jointly press a button, I’m shot up into the air and there’s an explosion and it’s orange and it spells, “Good night and God love.” In this culture? Two years later, it’s going to be, who’s Conan? This is going to sound grim, but eventually, all our graves go unattended."

So far, the only time ads in a podcast haven't driven me nuts were those in any and all McElroy shows (though I think TAZ just has Griffin editing in him reading an ad). They have separate sections for them, they make them funny while not pissing off the sponsors, it's great. They don't try and tie them together with whatever they were talking about. My Brother, My Brother, and Me has the Moneyzone, Sawbones has the Billing Department, all with their own musical introductions, and I'm sure some of Travis' 12 offshoot podcasts has something similar. If ads are necessary, they make them as good as possible.

MBMBAM's ads rarely have any fun digressions in them, it's mostly just them reading the same copy every week. Conan's ads are extensive but can be really funny because it usually turns into Sona ripping on Conan. No one does ads like Bill Burr though, he doesn't care if he loses sponsors if he can poo poo on them for being shady or dumb. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Rl5JDzvkEA0

Like someone else said, these aren't particularly lengthy podcasts and all the ads make it feel even shorter. They're part of a podcast network and the podcast itself is presumably tied into the broader TBS deal somehow so I'm sure they're following somebody else's game plan on this stuff, but I really do hope they tone it down because it's a great show otherwise. counterfeitsaint posted:I haven't listened to Conan's podcast yet, but the thought of him doing the whole 'record your own ads for your podcast' thing makes me really sad.

When the news first came out about Conan doing a podcast, I thought it might be interesting because he wouldn't have to filter anything for a network and he and his guests could talk about real poo poo in a different way than they ever did on the TBS show. Turns out that wasn't really the case at all. It's mostly ads, he talks to the guest for like, what, 20 minutes? And it's not really any different than when they appeared on the TV show. The best part of the podcast is Conan and Sona making fun of each other.

I’m not surprised he enjoys it more though. It’s surely less work than a TV interview, even if the content is largely the same.

I haven't listened to MBMBAM for a few months, but I wouldn't say this is entirely correct. They really try and not make their ads seem boring, and they're consistently the only podcast ads I don't skip through. They might not digress every time, but they at least make them genuinely conversational. Well, Griffin does, at least.

I made that initial post coming off the Sandler interview and that had at least three ad breaks. It's not unlistenable but it's the sort of thing I'd expect from a lesser podcast is all, or at least a longer one.

Ok, I'm listening to the Sandler episode now and it seems to have at least twice as many ads as usual, and they're pretty long and rambling. Not sure what happened there. I'm going to blame Adam Sandler, because I still haven't forgiven him for making Jack & Jill, which coincidentally* was also one long ad. * or IS it

I do the same thing I do with every podcast ad, i skip em, if I could give a token amount of money to access a feed without ads I would do that instead. I loving hate ads and no amount of "fun line reading" will make me willingly listen to a loving ad.

I personally love that the "Conan without borders" is now in Netflix, but even if they are great "special episodes" of talk show, they really do not live up to their premise as a travel comedy show. And I am one of the ones old enough to actually have seen the Late Night, (with 6 day delay because living in the wilderness expanse of Northern European socialist paradise). I personally love them, but are they really capable of bringing new people in? My measuring stick here are the "Old new Top Gear" travel specials, which mostly hold up to their own without any interest in car shows or the trio in general. Except India, man that was just an unfunny schlock of bad comedy.

I started up the Cuba episode, but had to stop about halfway through because it was just Conan using locals to do his usual self-deprecating bits. Maybe the other ones are better?

I have Stitcher Premium since I listen to a lot of Earwolf podcasts so I never hear any ads thankfully. I imagine Conan probably does the same amount every other podcast does but those are 90-120 minute shows usually so I bet it feels like more since his show is shorter.

whydirt posted:I started up the Cuba episode, but had to stop about halfway through because it was just Conan using locals to do his usual self-deprecating bits. Maybe the other ones are better? The other ones are, although I found the Cuba one less cringe-y than some of them. See, I only have so much tolerance for cringe humor. It started to ruin later seasons of The Office for me, in fact. These bits where he goes abroad really ride that line that I have, but to Conan's credit, he doesn't cross my cringe line (which would force me to change the channel). This won't be the same for everybody, of course. Part of the reason is undoubtedly that I know that before the cameras are rolling, he's out there, telling people that he is, essentially, an idiot clown doing clownish things idiotically. Sadly, his Armenia episode isn't in the Netflix lineup. I'm pretty sure it was the first time he did this kind of thing. I have an Armenian friend (who is actually from Armenia and has lived in a few countries before the USA), and she really enjoyed the episode. It set the template for the silliness (learning the language, interacting with locals, showing up on a soap opera) as well as the serious segment toward the end (the Armenian Genocide in this case), and I found it both hilarious and really emotionally moving.

This new Conan intro and stage are weird. I mean I guess it's set up like when Conan takes his show to Atlanta or Comic-Con or something like that, except without the band and this is how it is from now on instead of just for a week. And he's in more casual clothes, too! And it just cuts to commercial mid-interview without much of a transition. The This Is Us bit This Is Conan came back, though. And he's still got his Eisenhower mug on his...endtable? I guess I'll get used to it after a while. It's just strange because it's new and different. I wonder if it'll even last a while, though. It seems like the type of show that would get cancelled. But maybe TBS will keep him on no matter what.

Yeah, that wasn’t great. Same tired monologue, only one comedy bit that wasn’t very funny, and a double-length interview that, to be fair, was pretty good but still felt very rehearsed at times. Plus, you aren’t going to have a guest as good as Tom Hanks every night. Also, Andy now has to awkwardly sit on a bar stool instead of at his podium? In conclusion,

It seemed like his old show cut in half, which really isn't what it should be at all. It sucks because I think Conan is as funny as ever as an individual, but shackling him to a talk show like this doesn't let him actually do his best.
