Thank you! I was thinking about making this post a few days ago. The shows lately have been sad (when they aren't re-runs.) Out of all the shows I saw in the past two weeks I think one joke made me chuckle. He's stale as *HELL* and I'm cringing at the thought of this 10th anniversary special. I think the only way it will be bearable is if there are TONS of old highlights, from what I'm not affectionately refering to as 'the good 'ol days.'

I'm not sure how I feel about your comment about Andy. Honestly while Andy was a great character to have on the set, Conan certainly didn't *need* him to keep the show on the level that it was at. I think it really comes down to the writing taking less chances, the characters becoming old and familiar, and the bits not being far enough from the "Leno mold" as I'll call it. Conan is a *very* bright guy, and a genius with the pen, which is why I'm somewhat baffled as to why the show has been dropping off so much. I hope at this point that the dipping is part of a cycle, and that things will get better again in a year or two. I say that mostly because there were certainly a few years in the CBS stint where Dave's show was kinda crappy, but the staff at that show have made quite a rebound. Perhaps Conan's can too.
