I like that he's doing something to break up the end of the
monologue, although I'd prefer it was a grander rotation of jokes and
fake commercials and phony videos and such. Doing a drunk-Doctor-Phil
and a Grand-Theft-Auto segment every night is ... well, it's borrowing
a page from Late Show, really, where the comedy segments have gotten to
be almost as variable as the Catholic liturgy.
It does look like they're trying their best to front-load the
comedy pieces and make a commercial break a permanent segment at the
walkover, which means we'll probably not have those pesky surprises
where Conan is delighted by the walkover music again. And it does look
like whether Conan promises what's coming up next is going to depend on
how popular the sketch is.
