Shouldn't we start this thread?
I think Andy Richter's hiring and questions about which writers will be coming out to L.A. would be a good start for a new thread.
I anticipate a lot of topics coming up, including how well he does in the ratings, that will be specific to the Tonight Show.
It would also be a nice tribute to Late Show's great and brilliant run that we acknowledge that it's over.

I'll be the first to pay tribute by acknowledging that the show's title was (is) "Late Night".Originally Posted by TomHicks
So DO we have a full list of writers who are going to LA? We know Stack, and I think we've gotten confirmation of McCann?
Is Stack going? Where was this written?
Since I'm a dumb swede, I will ask this stupid question:
Will this move really have any effect on what people will watch the show? People don't really watch it because it's the Tonight Show, they watch Leno, no? So Conan's fans will watch this, and some new people who can watch this before going to bed and people who don't know how to use the clicker.
I think yes and no on your assumption that people our fans of the host not the show.
Yes most of Conans fans will follow him and will not be devoted Tonight Show viewers because of regime change.
No because some people just want to watch something before bed and will out of some sort of habit watch the Tonight Show despite hosts changing.
it would also be worth noting that i don't think the Tonight show holds the weight it once did espically when the torch was passed from Carson to Leno. With so many late night options i doubt people really see it as the Marquee show it once was.

I was at the last Late Night taping on the 20th. and talked to Stack in person after the show.
He said he starts work on March 23rd..
The place was very crazy so i couldn't ask him for details.

New promos for Conan:
Tina Fey
Megan Mullally
I believe New York comic Todd Levin is making the move and will be writing for Conan as well. He has a infinitely readable web site. I think he's posted here in the past too.

What was the best concert you've been to?
-- Probably Sade. It was just so sexy and relaxing.
AV Club interview with Andy Richter
He talks about becoming Conan's announcer on the Tonight Show, as well as the release of "Andy Richter Controls the Universe" on DVD.
My god, this site is amazing. Great for wasting time at work. And it's pretty funny too~
is it probably safe to assume that the staring contests won't return despite the return of andy? i would probably watch every episode if that came back. or if they brought back the reverend otis k. dribbles. someone forward this post to conan.
if you thought that sports joke was hilarious, check out the sports jokes at http://ghostwrittenbywilbon.tumblr.com and http://www.twitter.com/ghostbon!
Another NY comic who went to LA to write for Conan is Andres du Bouchet.

Didn't he and Todd host How to Kick People together? I think that was the name of the show.

No, Todd hosted that with Bob Powers. Andres did Giant Tuesday Night of Amazing Inventions and Also There is a Game.

That article is explicitly saying that Andy will be a sidekick. I thought that wasn't for sure yet.
