James Sims hasn't figured out what's more entertaining, Hollywood buzz or Broadway chatter. So he's decided to start blogging about both. Sofa Snark is an entertainment biz blog covering everything from prime-time TV to Broadway reviews. If you can figure out anything that falls in between, he's bound to have an opinion about that too. As a Senior Editor at BroadwayWorld.com, and with gigs at "Entertainment Tonight" and the Hollywood Reporter under his belt, he's ready to unleash his wit on the world, one blog at a time.

As Conan O’Brien kicked off his first week hosting The Tonight Show, I decided to live Twitter the debut. From a marathon run from New York City to Los Angeles, President Barack Obama putting world policy debates on hold to discuss Conan, Gwyneth Paltrow inadvertently bad mouthing Coldplay to Ryan Seacret gaying up late night, here are some highlights from my week-long Twitter-fest.

Conan O’Brien rocking my favorite Billy Ocean song, “Get Outta My Dreams, Get into My Car” on Tonight Show segment. Hooray for Hollywoo.

Jealous. Both Conan O’Brien and Julia Louis-Dreyfus have great DMV pics. My CA driver’s license photo is well, for my eyes only.

Conan chats up Broadway once again. Says Larry King’s potential character name in Spiderman the Musical. Dr. Prostate.

Gwyneth Paltrow’s legs are shining brighter than Conan did out in the sun in that last segment. Should one powder their legs?

Next guest on Conan, Joel McHale. Is he funny? Yes. Is he the best “Soup” host ever? Negative. I still miss Greg Kinnear.

John Mayer can’t get too close to children. Keeps them behind a plastic wall while singing “California Dreamin” on Conan.

Ryan Seacrest just named dropped Angela Lansbury on The Tonight Show. How cute. And he says he’s not gay.

Andy Richter’s head looks especially bloated in that puke-green shirt. Fat guy in a little coat.

Did I really just applaud Patton Oswalt’s balls? Johnny Carson is rolling over in his grave right now.
