TV Junkie: 'Conan' To NYC; Podcast Roundup

conan-blimp-hangar.jpg
You saw a lot of the "Conan" blimp during the MLB playoffs and we wonder if it will make it's way to NYC for Conan's weeklong stint in town.
We need to hear from you.
Today during our spring member drive, put a dollar value on the trustworthy reporting you rely on all year long. The local news you read here every day is crafted for you, but right now, we need your help to keep it going. In these uncertain times, your support is even more important. We can't hold those in power accountable and uplift voices from the community without your partnership. Thank you.

As covered in this column last week, Conan O'Brien is going to do a week of shows in New York City during the first week of November, a visit which will now include unveiling a gallery of fan art at the Time Warner Center with more than 50 creations. Conan's most recent promo for the trip is at the end of this post and I anticipate that he will present us with a very active week in the city - he's not going to NYC to just show us the inside of the Beacon Theatre. I'll be going to the art show and one of Conan's shows and will give you a full report.

It's mystifying but somehow "Terra Nova" grew 14% in viewership Monday. Who the heck is watching this show? I had no idea there were so many 14 year old boys in this country.
