#teamconan Writing Prompt: Team Conan

12
January 2010

Yes, I am in the ranks of Team Conan. Mind you, I prefer Letterman, but come on, Conan O’Brien is being royally screwed by NBC because they screwed up. And I even LIKE NBC.

What got me was in Conan’s letter to the people he states:

The Tonight Show at 12:05 simply isn’t the Tonight Show.

And he’s right! At 12:05 you have the Morning Show, not the Tonight Show. So, my challenge to my fellow writers is to write a debate between two characters on how something happening at a set time should be referred to.

Rules:

  • there should be something that will happen just after midnight
  • the writer is neutral in their opinion on the matter
  • one character should take each of the following stances:
  1. after midnight is still “tonight”
  2. after midnight would be the next day

For example, there is to be a raid at 12:01 a.m., one character tells the other including “tonight” in the description of the time, which sets the second character off on something like “but that would be tomorrow morning.”
