This was a decent follow-up to David Letterman's version of Late Night. Conan was under a lot of pressure as an unknown following a legend in a high-pressure talk-show slot and behind not just one but several eight balls, and he did a credible job and held his own in Late Night, and he made it his own. I think he was reasonably funny and several of his skits were good, especially "In the Year 2000" and "Triumph the Insult Comic Dog." Those were my favorites. He suffered a loss when Andy Richter left but still managed to survive. It was decent entertainment. It shows how well he handled pressure and that he can be a survivor;however, he was not as funny as his predescessors.
