Critic Reviews
Season 9 Review:
Conan remains peerless at the art of mock-shtick, his mid-monologue mugging to the new set’s camera angles playing irresistibly like he’s photobombing himself. ... Even if this first foray into the half-hour format isn’t a form-busting revelation right out of the gate, it hints at the possibilities of a reenergized comic mind prodding the late-night electric fence for weaknesses.

Season 1 Review:
Not everything worked, of course, and anyone expecting Conan to reinvent the wheel or drastically shake up the genre is probably disappointed. But if you were simply glad to see his brand of quirky comedy back in late night--and free of the network guardrails--it was cause for celebration.

Season 1 Review:
If it felt much like an episode of one of Conan's old shows, the Conan debut also felt like a middle-of-the-pack example. Some funny bits, some other obligatory moments, and a good feeling to have the guy back, but nothing extraordinary like, say, his final week on "Tonight."

Season 9 Review:
It’s a wobbly excuse for a fresh start, and so far, "Conan" makes the case that less is truly less. ... The good news is that the amiably self-deprecating, wryly peevish, can’t-do spirit of “Conan” appears to have survived the makeover intact. But it feels as if neither O’Brien nor Richter have their hearts entirely in the endeavor--and who can blame them?
