'The best' to 'really sucks': Conan O'Brien getting mixed reviews as host of #MTVMovieAwards

The host of this year’s #MTVMovieAwards, Conan O’Brien, has so far been receiving a wild mix of reviews.

First off, O’Brien’s lengthy recorded segment and live stage presentation to open the show started wearing thin for many after several minutes:

This award show started 13 minutes ago & Conan still opening…. #MTVMovieAwards

Conan O'Brien needs to stick to his regular job as a late night talk show host. He sucks as the host of the #MTVMovieAwards .
