So I missed this weeks SNL weekend report but I heard that their was a parody of the Bush and Kanye thing. I thought to myself now that should make for some interesting tv so I decided to check it out on you tube. I wasn’t impressed. Sure the part about Bush interrupting the country for 8 years made me chuckle but I am so disappointed in the writing for this skit. They had so much material to make this funny. I was really looking forward to it. I want my 5 minutes back!

w/ Conan O'brien

Who would of thunk it seventeen years ago when us stoned night owls first started watching Conan Obrien in the early nineties, that he would take over a staple in American culture, The Tonight Show.  For those of us who can remember Johnny Carson and the transition to Jay Leno we can appreciate the huge deal this is. I was lucky enough to catch the tail end of the Johnny Carson era and I remeber it being a huge deal. Jay Leno taking the reigns after three decades of Carson was like passing the torch to a new generation. And this week the torch was passed again to Conans generation, us.  I know hes not for everybody, but for those of us who enjoy and appreciate his offbeat sense of humor, the self deprecation, the wittiness and sharpness of his mind, the seemingly naturalness and flow of his conversations with his guests,  its like the torch was passed to us, the target market, right, but hey, isnt everthing in life a tradeoff? Ill trade some laugh for a few minutes of commercials, and I think Johnny would too, although I’m sure he would of had some witty remarks for the new Angelino.  Its great too see that he brought everyone along for the ride, Max, the band, and especially his old sidekick Andy. I hope they can make it work…
