Admittedly.Conan O`Brien's first few nights taking over from Jay Leno suggested it may take some time for him [and viewers ] to adjust to the change in scale.Over the years he seems to have tailored himself into something as minimalist as a Pixar cartoon character--white skin,long angles,that flame of hair shooting up--and yet he comes before us on a surprisingly sumptuous deco set.You don't expect to see an up-to-minute comedian delivering his monologue before a pretty scrim of frosted glass. But O`Brien humor,ridiculous and genial, has survived the move from New York.It's hard not to like a man who says the one star people in Hollywood mistake him for is Tilda Swinton. He also did a great bit about celebrities using twitter and knocked guest Tom Hanks over like a meteor. As for the chortling amiability of Leno--who ,in a weird programming experiment, returns to prime time in September. Do you miss Leno?..My take on this: Conan O`Brien you have some big shoes to fill....NBC, week nights. 11:35 pm ET/PT, and the show has 4 stars,' See ya there'.
