Last Nights of Late Night: Day 8 and 9

I know, I missed a day. I am just a little overwhelmed with what is taking place tonight. I would invite everyone over to watch the last episode of Late Night together. But this is something I need to do on my own.

My second to last highlight is the merging of 2 great Television icons. This came about when Conan was doing a week of shows in San Fransisco. He went out to tour the city and knocked on the door of the Full House house. This turned in to the opening credits of Full House, with Conan as part of the cast. Sing it with me... "Everywhere you look, everywhere, there's a heart..."

Last Nights of Late Night: Day 7

Okay... I almost forgot! For a few weeks, it may have even been a whole month, Conan had a little tool at his desk call the "Walker Texas Ranger Lever" This thing was amazing. He would play clip after clip, and just laugh. This was a great time at Late Night. Here is a little sampling:
*It is a long clip, but you have to at least watch until min 3:00, or you will miss the best part

Last Nights of Late Night: Day 6

Conan has introduced some pretty silly characters over the years. Here are a few of my favorites:

The FedEx Pope:Horny Manatee (see also www.hornymanatee.com) :Vomiting Kermit:The Sears Tower in Sears Clothing:
(I Couldn't find a picture, but you can imagine what this would look like)

And finally.... Sitting on a thrown of skulls, the Evil Puppy:

Last Nights of Late Night: Day 5

This blogging everyday thing is a challenge. But there are only 5 more days of late night, and this is important. This is as important as looking into the future. The future?? Yes, all the way to the year 2000...

In The Year 2000:

"George W. Bush will alienate voters when he sues the New York Times for calling him an incumbent."

"While still recovering from the affects of anesthesia, a delirious Bill Clinton will admit that he once had sex with Hilary."

"Star Jones announces that she is suffering from anorexia, which she contracted by eating Mary-Kate Olsen."

"The former side kick of 'Late Night with Conan O'Brian', who returned to help out with The Year 2,000 comedy piece, realized that the year 2,000 was actually 4 years ago and remembered why he left this crappy show."

"Michael Jackson's son, Prince Michael II will write a memoir in which he wistfully recalls that one glorious moment on the balcony when he nearly escaped."

"We will finally learn what makes French vanilla ice cream different from regular vanilla ice cream- cowardice."

"Chemists will discover what makes simple sugars simple. Their parents were brother and sister."

"When a cruise ship sinks in the Bahamas, Leeza Gibbons will be forced to choose between saving a hundred children or actor Matthew Perry. Later she will send a letter to the grieving parents which will begin, 'Buckle up for another season of 'Friends'."

"People will automatically smile for pictures when photographers develop a flash that emits not only a sudden burst of light, but also the sound of Barbra Streisand being mauled by a bear."

Last Nights of Late Night: Day 4

You can't talk about Late Night without mentioning it's most famous character (besides Conan), Triumph the Insult Comic Dog. After premiering on the show in 1997, Triumph was a reoccuring guest who ruthlessly harassed celebrity guests as well as numerous event attendees. There are so many Triumph classics, but this one is particularly funny. When I say particularly funny, I mean one of the funniest things ever done in comedy.

Last Nights of Late Night: Day 3

2 words: Pale ForceFighting crime with spooky, blood-less skin. Shooting lasers out of their nipples. Jim and Conan: keeping Pale America safe from Lady Bronze.

Pale Force was a cartoon series created by Jim Gaffigan about his superhero status as a pale person and his wimpy, pathetic, and equally pale side kick, Conan. New episodes were debuted on Late Night, and always ended with Conan's character wetting his pants. To watch episodes, go here: http://www.nbc.com/Late_Night_with_Conan_O'Brien/Pale_Force/

Last Nights of Late Night: Day 2

Celebrity Secrets used to be a more regular occurrence on Late Night, but it rarely happens anymore. I remember the first time I saw it. It was Snoop Dogg secrets.
"Before I was called 'Snoop Dog' I was called 'Snoop Doggy Dog.' Before that I was called 'Snoop Diggity Doggity Dogg.' Before that, I was just called, 'The Phantom.'"

"Last Christmas I put on a Santa Claus mask, and I said to three of my ladies, 'ho, ho, ho.' They didn't think it was funny."

"It's true, Dr. Dre is not a real doctor. I just wish he had told me that before I let him remove my pancreas."

"When I go to restaurants, the waiters always ask me if I want a doggy bag. I'm tired of that. All you waiters, stop asking me if I want a mother****** doggy bag."

Here is another Classic with Gwenyth Paltrow."You'd never know it by my movies but I haven't taken a shower in seven years. I smell like an old dumpster. Take it or leave it boys."

"Halle Berry totally stole the whole crying-when-you-win-your-Oscar thing from me. Also, all that other stuff about opening the door for other black actresses, that was mine too."

"I'm superstitious. Before I start a new movie, I also kill a hobo with a hammer."

"In Shakespeare in Love, I played a woman playing a man playing a woman. In actuality, I am a man who was playing a woman, playing a man, playing a woman. "

Last Nights of Late Night: Day 1

One of my favorite periods of Late Night was when Conan found out that he looks exactly like the female President of Finland, Tarja Halonen.

He played off of this for months, and finally planned a trip to Finland. This trip turned out to be one of my favorite episodes ever. My parents visited Finland that same year, and I was convinced that they would find Conan paraphernalia all over. It turns out that Tarja is much more popular than Conan, and they returned with a russian doll of the President for me. Thanks Mom and Dad!

The Final Countdown

Back at it

As I opened my blog today, I was reminded of my dedication to Capitalism and my fight against big government. How could I let an issue like this pass without a word? I am talking about the giant Porkulus Bill (thanks Rush) that is posing as an economic "Stimulus Bill". Now, if you don't have the guts to call your Senators and pressure them to vote "no", here is an easy way to feel like you are doing something:

Washington needs to quit hiding under the cover of economic hardship to pursue a permanent increase in the size and scope of government. We aren't falling for it.

Best Super Bowl Ever

Conan had a couple of his own commercials. He was the star of the night.
