Yeah his Late Night show was incredibly funny back in the 90's. I was watching clips of him playing random Walker Texas Ranger clips this morning. LOL.....that's what I thought was so great about his show and humor: random nonsense. Those John Rocker skits were hilarious too.

I even liked his Tonight Show stint, although there was a drop off. They should have given him more of a chance there.

The TBS shows, however, have been mostly garbage. I am assuming he's had an entirely different set of writers for the last decade or so...

Totally agree.
Late Night was hilarious!  It seemed like if they had any idea that seemed funny, they went with it.  That Walker Texas Ranger lever thing is a perfect example.  Fn hilarious!  Watched every night.
The Tonight Show was alright.  I watched, but it really seemed like NBC wanted to reel him in a bit and make him more digestible to an earlier/lamer/Lay Leno-type audience.  
TBS is almost unwatchable.  It's just soooo boring.  Nothing creative or edgy about it.  Conan Without Boarders was good as was anything with Jordan Schlansky.
It's weird because I still listen to his podcast, which is hilarious.  He's like a completely different person on his podcast vs his TBS show.
It was a good run and I'll def check out what he does on HBO Max.

The TBS show is underrated.

Yeah I am sure the ratings have been low for a while. lol

Ratings doesn't mean a show is good or bad. Many good shows have been canceled in the first season because of bad ratings

Yeah but in my opinion, his TBS show was a steaming pile of horse manure. So, in that respect, I can understand why the ratings were bad.

Conan is like Pearl Jam. They deserve all the awards. But rarely win or get nominated #Emmys

Deserve? ALL the awards?

Oy.
