The president was charming and well spoken, as usual, IMO. :)

The conversation was both serious and light and Obama came across very likeable and like a guy who knows what the hell is going on in the world. When you look at him and those dopes at the GOP debate, it's a slam dunk in my eyes.

I'm boycotting Leno because I'm with CoCo and can hold a grudge til the end of time.

BTW, I dont like Leno either.. but I do understand why Obama see's it necessary being on that show.

He replaced Leno and then Leno took his show back... :( I prefer Letterman, but I watched the president tonight. :hi:

CoCo :hi:

Leno was not exactly a "friendly" host to the President.

so that the President was able to respond and rebut, such as when POTUS quashed the "lead from behind" concept as a media meme.

I watch comedians for my own enjoyment...I imagine most do. Think about it...you are going to deny yourself some good laughs for a millionaire. Someone who has gotten more great opportunities than all of us combined, also makes more money than all of us combined.

Conan, instead of showing some kind of class and appreciation for everything he's gotten or maybe acknowleging all the other good comedians who have never and will never get close to getting what he's gotten...HE WHINES! "Oh poor me...yes I've gotten so much...but I wanted MORE!"

When Jay Leno was taken from a successful time slot of 11:00 to 10:00 he didn't like it, but he didn't cry like a baby. He was grateful to have a great job and he did his best with it. It's the crowd mentality that made him evil and Conan saintly.

Anyway...I don't think Conan is funny. I prefer witty jokes to watching someone make goofy facial expressions.

So, now I will watch the videos, since didn't watch last night and prehaps comment on them.

What actually happened: NBC promised Conan The Tonight Show five years before Leno would retire from late night. Five years. Conan moved his entire show and family to LA. Leno retired from late night but began having second thoughts. So, he put on his big shoes and squeezed O'Brien out. Much like he did to Letterman when Carson retired.

I thought the President looked tired. And he should be.

Wish he'd take more breaks from the constant crazy tho.

Usually I don't like Leno much but he did okay. I think he was genuinely honoured to have Obama there. The audience sure did as well.
