12. You're welcome. She appears to be the first guest...

As she deserves to be. :patriot:

6. has Fallon improved?

I only saw him when he first started and he seemed awkward but I realize it does take time for someone to find their groove

[Rhiannon12866]

7. He's more comfortable, but he'll never be either Conan or Dave...

:-(

11. so much hipper... Conan is laaaaame n/t

[Rhiannon12866]

14. Well, my favorite is Letterman, was in the studio audience last year.

He's incredibly cordial to the audience. I never cared much for Conan, but my BF likes him, so I got used to watching. Sometimes he's funny, but I haven't found Jimmy Fallon to be all that amusing. He was much better on SNL, think he would have done much better retaining that persona than being just like the others in a suit and tie. :shrug:

[medeak]

18. no one is better than Letterman imo

lucky you seeing in person!

[Rhiannon12866]

19. I agree and it was very cool.

The only drawback was that it was January and just so damn cold! I went with my BF who is also a huge fan. He'd been before, but wanted to take me. :-)

Everyone was extremely friendly, the staff and even the other people in line... They give you a kind of mini-course in how to behave, no boos, LOL, and lots of applause to encourage Dave. He came out to welcome us before the show, and really does answer questions.:D

And it's also true that the studio is awfully chilly, the staff was in parkas and heavy sweaters, but everytime the camera was off him, Dave took his jacket off. It was a lot of fun, much smaller than it looks like on TV, and very worthwhile even though the guest was Dr. Phil, LOL. We were fortunate to sit in the fifth row, right in front of Dave's desk. :D

They had TVs overhead showing classic clips from the show to keep the audience entertained during breaks, but it was much more interesting to watch what was going on... Dave also came out after the show to thank us all for coming, unnecessary, but very thoughtful. Also, he looks much slimmer in person than he does on TV. I recommend it highly, hope to go again sometime. :woohoo:
