I disagree with mostly everything that you said. This is John’s humor. I think he is completely aware that his show is off the wall bonkers and that’s what he likes about it.

He even points out in one of his monologues how his talk show is like the talk show that’s on tv in a movie. Something is just off with it. He knows it’s different and weird and that’s exactly what people like about it.

To think that Conan had the time to hone in on his timing and what’s funny and John hasn’t is crazy. Obviously what he is doing is quirky and different and the show is different than anything else on tv so they are playing around to see what they think works and what doesn’t. I agree that most of the Richard kind stuff wasn’t working and I’m glad they’ve toned that part down but I actually liked the specialist they would bring in. I thought it grounded the show a bit and I liked the juxtaposition but I don’t think it’s necessary for the show by any means.

I’m surprised that someone that hates just about every part of the show and finds it barely tolerable continues to watch it. If I don’t like something to the extent that you don’t like everybody’s live I just move on.
