I don't think Conan is funny at all.

Perception versus reality, jokes can change perception in this case for the worse, this in turn can affect peoples buying habits. Jokes such as these can potentially be another nail in GM's coffin.

Has this Connan joker actually driven a road going version of the Transformers car?

Agreed.

Leno liked to break GM's ballz too from time to time with his comedic skills, but he also was a big GM supporter. I always liked that about him.

Conan just doesn't seem to be meshing very well with LA in the Tonight Show time slot. His humor played better with the NY crowd.

Our main problem with Conan doing this is that viewers WILL actually believe that GM cars of 2009 are still unreliable. The public by and large WILL buy any story or report that's negative about GM.

Conan is hilarious. Many of his jokes are stupid, but it's part of his show. Sometimes I roll my eyes at the GM jokes, but I don't take it personally like I used to.

Conan? I thought it was Jimmy Fallon that made the remarks on his show. But then again I found the joke he made "That Transformers is the first thing to make money with Detroit cars." pretty funny. Pretty low, but still funny.

I wouldn't worry about the damage. Its NBC.....nobody is watching it anyway, especially after Leno left. While funnier than Letterman, Conan's childish humor doesn't do it for me.

LA writers....

The writers came w/ Conan from NY, but it doesn't matter anyway, because writers go to where there is work. Every late night host is making jokes about GM. GM is in the news, they make fun of what's in the news, that's what they do.

Most people understand that they are just jokes. Most of the time it's better to step back and stop taking everything so seriously.
