Conan Supporters Get Their Revenge on Hulu Dan Koelsch, May 24, 2010May 24, 2010 The war may be over, there are still soldiers fighting on. The NBC Late Night fiasco that kicked off at the beginning of the year demonstrated the passion of Conan O’Brien’s fans. While the comedian has a new show on TBS, and doesn’t have anything to fear from George Lopez, fans are still mad. Most of the anger is directed towards the peacock network, but some has been channeled into Jay Leno himself. Find out how fans are using Hulu to voice their opinion. We’ve seen a few times where Conan support has made it onto Leno’s The Tonight Show, such as when musician Slash wore a “I’m With Coco” pin that NBC tried to hide with clever cuts. Now the fans themselves have found a voice thanks to Hulu’s feature that allows visitors to add their own tags to shows. A quick look at the tags for all the full episodes posted gives you glimpse into which side viewers have taken. We’ll see how long Hulu keeps the tags up.

I think it’s to the point that Team Coco is doing Conan more harm than good. They do act like mini terrorists in a very juvenile, “Mini-Me” kind of way. But they are taking their cues from their hero’s behavior.
I’m a fan of Conan too, but this is just childish and petty. During the recent TBS upfront in New York it was reported that after the meeting the press asked Conan about NBC. His answer? “Let’s move on now.” (The article can be found on TheHollywoodReporter) I think Conan fans should take that cue, especially since the man they claim to be fans of asked them not to be cynical during his speech on his final Tonight Show. He’s now headed to a TV home with a young audience and bosses that seem to really appreciate his talent. So let’s move on now together with him.
