  • David Letterman and Conan O'Brien, Part 2: 2010-2012
    September 13, 2018, marks Conan O'Brien's 25th year on late night television. Here's a two-part Dave/Conan compilation to commemorate the milestone.
    Part 1 documents Dave's and Conan's interactions on each other's shows from 1994 to 1999, followed by Dave's reactions when Conan was awarded The Tonight Show in 2004 and then finally took over the show in 2009. Part 1 is here: • David Letterman and Co...
    In the absence of further appearances, Part 2 is devoted mostly to Dave's gags and running commentary on the fiasco that was The Tonight Show in January 2010. The collection ends with Conan's last Late Show guest appearance in 2012.
    Part 2
    January 2010: The bird network cancels Jay Leno's nightly 10 PM show and suggests he host a half-hour at 11:35 PM before Conan's Tonight Show. Conan is not pleased. The ruckus gives Dave material for the next two weeks:
    18. January 11, 2010. Dave on Conan vs. Jay, 1: Dave's Plan

    Reading Bill Carter's book on the 2010 Tonight Show fiasco, Bill wrote that Jay Leno hated to read or hear his 10pm show described as a "variety" show. He hated it, and of course what does Dave do? Always describe it as a variety show. Neat.

      ​@user-yn7yo1co3k Dave is the only reason Conan found success. Conan literally has stated this. When Conan's show was on the edge of being axed, Dave went on his show as a guest for the entire second half of an episode. From then on, Conan got much bigger and became who he was on late night. In fact, on the night of Dave's final show, Conan begged his audience to switch channels and go watch Dave's final show.
      So as much as Dave was anti-Jay, he was very much pro-Conan.

      He cared very much about his team that had moved to CA from NY and made sure everyone was going to work for him at TBS. Conan could have just kept most of the money, but he knew there is a very real thing called 'right and wrong' and following what's right is important. I'm sure you've heard of NDEs, but did you know according to peer reviewed medical journals that 20% of *veridical NDEs are DNDEs or distressed near death experience. It isn't always nice on the other side for people who do not care about right and wrong.
      A *veridical experience cannot be explained away by natural means because the person told of things that they couldn't possibly know even if they had been awake, often tell of things happening elsewhere, or people born blind telling of seeing and describing what happened or born deaf people hearing and repeating conversations going on while they were technically dead.

    Both Dave and Conan are hilarious with their repartee, and truly seem to enjoy piling on Jay Leno.
    I can’t tell you how many times I laughed during these two hours, but I know one of my favorite bits was Conan’s sudden and unexpected Edward G. Robinson impersonation during the the restaurant story. It didn’t seem planned and showed why I’ve become such a fan of his quick wit.

      Dave was nothing like those fake, obsequious clowns you mentioned. All they did was mindlessly suck up to all their guests and play down to the lowest common denominator.
      Letterman was The New School; he went totally against grain of the established model. What made Dave truly special was that he just didn't really care, and it showed. If he genuinely liked the guest, you could tell, and they were funny together... and if he didn't like the guest, you could also tell, and that was even funnier.
