The Tonight Show as Back!
It's as if a dark cloud has lifted from the world of late night television. The beloved Tonight Show of my youth, which lingered in a bland limbo since Johnny Carson left, is reborn as the Tonight Show with Conan O'Brien! Caught the first few episodes on Hulu (http://www.hulu.com/the-tonight-show-with-conan-obrien) and they are outstanding. The show is exciting and contemporary, but there's also an unmistakable nostalgia, a harkening back to Johnny's golden age. I think I know what it is. Jay Leno wanted Johnny's job. Conan wants to be Johnny. Well, there's probably no way we'll see another Johnny Carson, but Conan is what I'll call the next best thing.
