  1. I will be watching !!! Great choice.

  2. i wish i did but i just don’t find him funny.

  3. He’s very talented with voices, and a good comedian. I still don’t know if he can appeal to this American audience. Chistiane Amanpour got laughed off ABC pretty quickly, and I wonder if that offers a clue as to the likelihood of Americans really accepting foreign hosts.

    You raise a potentially even more serious potential problem, of course. But I also remember people saying Conan O’Brien couldn’t hack it, when he obviously can.

  4. i know what you mean but i always thought from the start conan would do well. i hope i’m wrong this time.
