Yay for

1Great news about Nathan Fillion...hope the pilot gets picked up!
Jimmy Fallon...it's definitely an interesting choice!
I'm more excited than I'll be able to watch Conan AND Craig Ferguson...my two favourites...without having to flip back and forth between the two!
2I never watch Conan O. But I think I might check it out if Jimmy Fallon is going to be the new host.
I've also never seen the D. Code. But I'll watch the 2nd one if it has Ewan McGregor in it.
And I'm glad Wesley got the sentence that he did.
3oh man, no one can fit in conan's shoes. fallon is going to have a tough time..
