Watch out, Canucks (and Canadiens and Mapleleafs): Conan is coming to Toronto. Conceived by SNL producer and Canadian citizen, Lorne Michaels, Late Night will be filmed in Toronto February 10 to 13. Conan told reporters, "I want to announce now that if this week goes well in Toronto we are moving the show permanently to Winnipeg." When asked about what guests would appear, he said it would be "premature and foolish" to speculate, but guessed Ben Affleck, J.Lo., J.D. Salinger and Saddam Hussein. Hey, what about Thomas Pynchon? Anyway, we can't wait for "eh" jokes and Canadian pronunciations of "out," "house," and "mouse." And the Degrassi High mentions.
Conan O'Brien was also interested in filming the show in Toronto, because it's the home of Canadian comedy, especially SCTV. Gothamist wants to know, when is SCTV coming to DVD? If Toronto wants to help its tourism, they should sell SCTV DVDs only in Toronto – tons of people would make the trip.

Frankly, I'm surprised Canada would let Conan in the country after what he did to Terrence and Philip...
I love the Canadians' reaction to Triumph the Insult Comic Dog. Some have gone so far as to say Conan is a CIA spy gone to Canada to stir up discord as the behest of George Bush. Well...I guess when Jim Carrey and Mike Myers got the hell out of Canada they took the entire country's sense of humor with them. Now it's as cold and boring as Siberia.
Connard O'Brian is nothing more than a fifth class late night gum blabber willing to do anything to raise his ratings and move his show time a little sooner than midnight... Unfortunately for him, he's no Jay Leno and turning to ridicule a friendly neighbor country is not going to make him look smarter, no matter how many tubes of Preparation H he's giving away. I have to admit that he seems to be pretty good at one thing though: He now has about 8 million people that hate his guts. He's better not planning a hunting of fishing trip to Quebec soon. Quebec has a motto on their license plates: "Je me souviens" it means: "I remember". It is sad to realize that all of this would have been avoided if only NBC (General Electric) would monitor the quality of some of their show the same way they monitor the quality of their other products.
G. Angiolini, you my friend are an idiot...Conan was hilarious in Canada. He didn't do anything to p-off the people at all he's a comedian and a way better one than any other late night "fluffers"
Thanks goodness Conan is no Jay Leno. He wouldn't be funny then. The way I look at - it those obnoxious, stuck up French Canadians deserve everything they got. Let them all move to France so at least that whole lot of haughty French speakers will be inside the same borders.
You can call me an idiot or dip your nose into Connard's ass as much as you want, all it does is giving away your I.Q. I made a mistake by posting a message here. I was hoping to deal with mature people. I will not waste my time here anymore. P.S.: You may want to think about changing your diaper; it smells...
what is with you frogs. lighten up. conan is hilarious and triumph is a genius. besides, he nailed you french canadians. if you dont like american humor stay the hell out of america, especially palm beach county. and yeah, learn the language.
G. Angiolini, you must really be French. I can smell your crotch from here!
