Conan O'Brien Must Go - General Discussion
AheadofStraight replied to BetterButter's topic in Conan O'Brien Must Go
Conan has a recent podcast out with the writers where they discuss a lot of the behind-the-scenes of these episodes and it was a fun listen! -
I was in high school in the late 80s and Bon Jovi was my #1 hair band. Absolutely love(d) them. Thought this was well done, though also felt some of it could've been trimmed. I also think Richie might need another rehab stint. His speech patterns sometimes reminded me of Steven Adler. Thought it was a bit disingenuous of Jon to say he didn't smoke. I remember being thoroughly disappointed that he was smoking cigs on the Howard Stern show ages ago. Howard was chastising him, asking how he could do that when his voice was his moneymaker. I'm trying to date when it was - probably late 90s.

This is the episode that comes to mind whenever I hear the show won the Emmy for Best "Comedy". Eesh.

Interesting - thanks for the info!

Is Uncle Antonio in the books and is he a good guy or bad guy?

I let Peacock expire when my 1.99 offer was over. Happy to report that I just got an email offering me 1.99 again for another 6 months. I was waiting to see of Paramount+ does the same. I'm actually surviving just fine with the CBS app but I do want to see the Billy Joel special coming up. The commercials say it is live on CBS and streaming on P+. I'm not sure if I'll be able to see it with just the CBS app though?

I live in Connecticut and just yesterday, a friend posted this on facebook. So yeah, they still believe him and probably don't know what he said in the trial. ("Alex Jones was right" is one of the stickers)
-
The Guardian did an article about the documentary.
-
Ah - I must not have been paying close attention at those points. Definitely not a nickname I've ever heard for Alice either.
-
Has Kat ever referred to Alice as Ali before? (That was the spelling cc used.) She did it 3 times in a row and it seemed awkward.
-
Why not just have ONE tooth for them to find?? Yeah I get it's a comedy but ewwww!
-
According to the Daily Mail, (not a source I like to use) she was struggling with addiction and mental health issues. 😢
-
Totally forgot about him! Would he generate a lot of fan mail though?
-
I went searching and found Billy was in teen magazines for his Happy Days role so I could see that leading to fan mail. Henry is definitely a super nice guy. I'm really enjoying the book (especially his reading of it).
-
YES! I totally expected him to be hinting about Scott Baio! But right after that he was gushing about Scott and how he was the opposite of this person.
-
-
Spike! That could be it! I re-listened and he brings this up in the timeline between Ron leaving and Scott joining, but says a more generalized "later seasons" and not a specific timeframe like I was assuming. Maybe trying to be less specific but due to where he mentions it, probably likely! The quote in the book is along the lines of "kid joined in the later seasons of the show. Started to get kind of popular, was getting written about..." "Kid began to get fan mail and more fan mail...began to flaunt it and talk about it a lot on the sound stage....in a kind of braggy way oblivious to feelings of those around him." He told kid not to brag that way but kept doing it anyway. Wasn't long after, the character was written out of the show.

It sounded like it was a new actor brought on to fill Ron Howard's void after he left. At first I thought he was dissing Scott Baio but then he went on to gush about Scott essentially replacing this guy and not being like him at all. I believe it would've been season 5.
