Alas, Conan’s final show has aired and what a show it was. I’m sure Freebird will be the tops of the iTunes top 10 list.


Now, I came across this article from the Globe and Mail, one of Canada’s two national newspapers (and the only one that isn’t bleeding money faster than NBC).

That is an awesome idea but here’s just a few reasons why it might cause a problem:


Canadian performance groups like ACTRA would probably have a fit over the CBC hiring such a high profile American to front their network.


Could the CBC market the show to American broadcasters? FOX is already up in arms over their affiliates keeping FFC money from them and would fans that don’t have access to HBO really pay more to get the show?


What if the CBC’s union went on strike? That would be just crippling to the show, the viewers would go away and if any CBC strike has taught us anything, it would take a long time to re-build audiences.


Those are just some of the reasons, the Globe and Mail article also gives good reasons – many counterpoints to my points. COME TO CANADA CONAN!!


That’d be nice but wherever Coco winds up, it’s safe to say we’ll all be there watching.


See ya in September!
