Couldnt agree more. Conan and Los Angeles really aren't a great fit and I really hope one day he can move back to New York.
I get that it's TBS's Flagship show and filming in LA allows them better access to the A-list celebrities, but it's just not a town where Conan can be himself.
He just seems uncomfortable these days, specifically during his "camera crew" skits, which were always his best work. The skit doesnt hit like it used to, in part because the people in LA sort of expect that sort of thing and react accordingly and partially because New Yorkers were far more blunt, and the reactions seemed more sincere.
Dont get me wrong, LA is perfect for some hosts, Jimmy Kimmel is quickly becoming the best late night host on television, and Jay Leno (ugh) has had huge success. It's just not a town that caters to Conan's style and it's hurt his show as a result.
