Should Tech N9ne Hit Late Night TV? [Discussion]

A little over a decade after founding Strange Music with Travis O’ Guin, independent mogul Tech N9ne has finally broken through to the next level.  With a top 5 Billboard charting album, and nationwide tour that has seen nearly every show sell out, it is fair to say that Tech N9ne is becoming a household name.  It seems like now would be the perfect opportunity for Tech N9ne to take advantage of this spotlight and make an attempt to bring Strangeland to the late night talk show circuit.

For years, late night programs like Late Show With David Letterman and Conan have proven to be perfect platforms for new and veteran artists to promote their music directly to millions of viewers.  The nightly scheduled programs manage to capture huge audiences of all ages, and in Conan‘s case, a large percentage of the young male demographic.  An appearance on a show like Conan would boost Tech N9ne’s reach, and in turn result in higher music sales.  In the past, musical acts like Slipknot, Linkin Park, Travis Barker, and Jay-Z have enjoyed success stemming directly from their appearances on late night television.

Taking all of this into account, the question now is: Should Tech N9ne appear on a late night talk show?  Is the timing right?  What do you think?

    Oops, my bad. Lol! Still, I got my point across.

  • nowayhome

    Do it

  • Bigdog

    hell yea tech needs to get out there.

  • Mattgargus

    He should do it. It’d be an excellent marketing tool, and look what appearing on Jimmy Fallon did for Odd Future, and I’m pretty sure no one’s accused them of selling out. Anyone who’s seen Tech’s stage show can imagine the kind of damage he’d do in a short set for small late night crowd, and the viewers at home are going to be intrigued enough to go on Youtube, iTunes, wherever, to find more, the same way they did for Odd Future. It could be a huge coup for Strange Music.

    If he did do SNL, can you imagine if they brought Krizz, Scoob, and Makzilla on there? Not to undermine your point, just saying, that would be damn hilarious…lol

  • CiNo

    I think the timing is PERFECT! I would love to see Tech N9ne on Conan. Anything that spreads Tech N9ne out there more, in a positive way, is great with me! DO IT!

  • CiNo

    You ended up contradicting yourself a bit there… First you said that true Technicians would be offended by this move, but in the end you say “his true fans will support him”… Aren’t “true Technicians” his “true fans”??? Well, whatever. I understood what u said. I still stand by the fact that Tech N9ne is also a business man and wants EVERYONE IN THE WORLD to hear him. He said that since the beginning. So how are true Technicians, or whatever, not gonna understand if he decides to take on a late night show?? I would love for that to happen. I support it to the fullest. A man’s gotta do what a man’s gotta do. And this is cool too. You get to see Tech N9ne perform on TV! And possibly get a cool, funny interview too! Be positive man.  :)

  • CiNo

    Hell yeah! I think the best song to perform on one of those shows would be either “If I Could” or “He’s A Mental Giant”… but whatever song would be good for me. Just sayin’ those would be great choices. His verse from Worldwide Choppers would be killer. Or even “TECHNICIANS”!!! Shit! That would be doooope!!!!
