Just when I thought I was going into a dark period of my life, I see a glimmer of hope! As you all know, Conan O'Brien is taking over the Tonight Show, which I am incredibly INCREDIBLY excited about. This coming from a girl who was watching the Tonight Show with Johnny Carson when she was 2, standing on my mother's bed jumping up and down to the theme song and shouting "Heeeeeeeeere's Johnnny!" along with Ed McMahon. And I never jumped on the Jay Leno bandwagon. I was pro-Letterman.
But with the news that the Max Weinberg 7 and his crazy ass hilarious announcer Joel were not going with Conan, I started to get worried. I was already worried because Conan is just not going to get away with many of the things he got away with at his show because a wider range of people watch the Tonight Show and I don't believe he would be able to do things like the masturbating bear and most of Triumph the Insult Comic Dog's material (which sucks because this stuff is hysterical!)
But now, news! Good news! Andy Richter is joining Conan as his announcer!! The light at the end of the tunnel! Maybe he can make it work. Maybe he can take what he has been doing to the Tonight Show. I really hope so. I worry about how prudish, judgemental, and narrowminded Americans can be. But hey, we elected Obama! Anything can happen! :)
