Hey All! We're bringing the show to Toronto. That's right, after 10 years, we've finally been invited to Canada in the dead of winter and we couldn't be more excited! So be cool, my babies, and listen up!
We will be taping 4 shows from Tuesday, February 10 through Friday, February 13 at the historic Elgin Theatre. For ticket and show information please click here.
Some of the Canadian and non-Canadian celebrities lined up for this unprecedented road show include comedy superstars Mike Myers and Adam Sandler, Stompin' Tom Connors, Michael J. Fox, "Will & Grace" star Eric McCormack as well as musical guests Nickelback and Barenaked Ladies and Canadian comedian Ron James. More guests will be announced at a later date.
No Hip yet, but cross your fingers!
i saw the full lineup in the toronto sun last week, the hip are not included in the show. Should be a great show... he vists the border, tim hortons and a maple leaf practice!
I hate to say it Lance, but the Hip probably aren't "big" enough stateside to merit a gig on Conan...
Other than Stompin' Tom, every other announced guest, musical (BNL, Nickelback :roll: ) or otherwise (Michael J. Fox, Jim Carrey, Mike Myers, Erik McCormack) has made an impact in the US, and with American ratings still the ultimate brass ring this week, the Hip don't really "fit"...
That said, it should be fun to watch; the Elgin is a great venue...

Maybe not big enough, but certainly good enough! :thumb: I wonder why the Hip's new management didn't try to get them on? Or maybe they did and got no where who knows.

I decided to watch last night's...I was up that late and it was the last night of the TO stint, so why not. It wasn't bad. I still can't stand Conan at all, but he had some good material. I wonder how many of his jokes Americans "got", or if they all considered it a total waste of time. I expected him to make fun of Canada for the Americans watching, but he totally made fun of Canada for Canadians. Gotta respect that.
The Triumph video doesn't work for me...I really want to see it because I heard about what he says when he's ripping Quebec and I think it sounds awesome!
Never mind...it does work, it just takes about 10 minutes to connect. I sent it to my friend and he got the same thing so if you're trying to watch it, it's working...just give it a while.
"Are you seperatists? Yeah? Hey, you hear that? It's the sound of nobody giving a shit!"
:-D
Thanks for that link. I could never force myself to stay up long enough to watch it. I saw it on the clips on the news...I guess some people thought that it went a bit far. I thought it was quite funny. :lol: You got to love how Quebecers are nice and friendly until they discover you don't speak French, their whole attitude towards you changes....that is with the exception of most people in Montreal. I think they had it coming. I also love how Quebec is the province that receives the most Federal funding out of all the other Provinces. I'm not even sure they could support themselves on their own...yet they want to separate. God that annoys me! But than again I guess the amount of people that want to separate is about 35%. But still. Anyway sorry for that rant.

lets support conan for all his fine work he did and all the revenue he brought to the city of toronto!!!!
Can some one elaborate on what he said or did? I seen wednesdayz show with Mike Myers,wasn't too half ass baggy.He said something about the CN Tower being a big Penis :lol:
Conan sent his puppet dog to Quebec City to cause a ruckus. Although I was fairly impressed with all four of his shows in Toronto, this was completely innapropriate. Not only did he tear apart Quebec for cheap laughs from the American audience, but he falsely implied there is a deep social dislike towards Quebec looming in every Canadian. The comments made on the show were nothing short of racism. Most of the victims were full heartedly laughing at the eomments, but I honestly wonder how many takes they must have taken for that 5 minute skit. I don't live in Quebec, I don't believe in their principles and have learned to tolerance their ignorance, but that was just wrong.

does this make any sense :?
You admit their ignorant and you dont believe in their principles but making fun of their principals and ignorance is wrong????
HAve you ever made a neufie joke?? Have yoyu ever laughed at one??
Get a sense of humour... yes i admit it was over the edge but the 1600 people in the audience sure laughed thier heads off

I was referring to the seperatists ignorance in their beliefs that they could provide a better society without the 'burden' of the rest of Canada. I don't believe that they can, I think it's been proven they can't, and I don't think it is okay to laugh at them because of their principles. This all leads back to ethnocentrisim and stereotypical garbage. It's all fun and games to laugh at Canadian stereotypes, but what Conan did is the equivalent of discounting Canada's democracy, calling Canadians stupid, and telling us that no one cares about our beliefs. If that was aired across North America, and parts of Europe, I would be quite angry as well, especially considering how difficult it is now for the Quebecois to develop and sustain any respect from half of the country, let alone a mass international audience. As contradictory as it may sound, I can feel for the upset Quebecois, it was a bit too far.

Das, I'm wondering why you are sticking up for the Quebecois when they engage in ethnocentrism and stereotypes in their defense for seperatism. Friends of mine have gone to Montreal and Quebec for vacations and have said to me that the cities are lovely to visit, they have sensed hostility towards them because they are tourists. The sense that they got was that they the Quebecois thought they were better than everybody else. That wasnt supported by all the people, of course, most of the shopkeepers and cafe owners said that they wished the seperatists would realize that tourism and trade are important in keeping up Quebec's standards of living. Nobody loves an ugly tourist, but nobody equally loves a snotty host. Just my two cents
