Canadian Conandrum

If you happen to be Canadian, and you don’t generally read the Toronto edition of this blog, you might want to head over to www.third-beat.ca to check out yesterday’s post about Conan’s TBS deal and what it means for Canadian viewers. We no longer get TBS up in these parts, and the post breaks down why and what the alternatives will be.

Early reviews of Conan’s live tour are coming in. The Hollywood Reporter wasn’t impressed. The Associated Press was much more forgiving. And as pointed out on Twitter early this morning, there’s been a second show added in Atlantic City, which still has awesome seats available.
