"[W]hat is your take on the
impending transition from Leno to Conan on the tonight show? How much is
Leno's new primetime show going to make my grandparents laugh? Does Jimmy
Fallon stand a chance taking over Conan's spot? And will Carson Daly
finally disappear in the transition from analog to digital TV?" -- Christian in Chicago
Impending? I thought that was years off. As far as I am concerned, however, this is full of win. Leno is fail, Conan used to write for and produce the Simpsons (back when it was the Most. TV show. Evar.) Leno won't even make your grandparents laugh. He's actually too edgy for them. Why would Jimmy Fallon get Conan's gig? Is Carson Daly still on TV? I suspect I don't stay up late enough to answer those questions.
And there you have it: the least informative mailbag ever. You now know my limitations on issues of pop culture. Don't dare ever ask a question about a song that you heard on the radio, it would be embarrassing for both of us when I would have no idea who you were talking about. I'd say radio makes me feel older than anything else. Partially because they play Nirvana on classic rock stations (Nirvana for chrissakes! Kurt Cobain's body is still warm!), partially because a wise man once told me, "You don't become old when you don't know the name of the person singing on the radio, you become old when you don't care that you don't know the name of the person singing on the radio," and I do not at all care.
Update (10:37 PM 24 Jan): I would like to add that I just learned who Lil Wayne was like three months ago, and I constantly get his songs mixed up with TI, who I just learned about like four months ago.
Just found out who Lil Wayne is, but do you know the Wiggles? I think its the wiggles, right?
ReplyDeleteI do know the Wiggles, and I understand they sometimes have a tendency to "sparkle," which often has unfortunate consequences.
