"Conan" 2011 Talkback

[Mist]

That "In the back of a minivan" joke was pretty funny.

I had an idea. What if, to get around the legalities of the NBC thing, they literally rename the "In the Year 2000" sketch "In The Back Of A Minivan"? They don't have to tell jokes about people actually being in the back of a minivan though. They can just do regular jokes like they would "In The Year 2000" Just with a different name.

I hope to see more of Fat Jesus in future episodes.

The larry king segment was awsome and forgot to mention. I've said it before and I'll say it again, the kardashian should not be allowed on Conan.

 

[Classic Speedy]

I have found a new avatar. Gotta love Andy's sidekick refusing to even crack a smile at Conan's jokes.

So apparently Will Ferrell will shave off Conan's beard when he appears on the show next week. His video threat to Conan was pretty funny.

Actually, Will Ferrell will be on May 2nd, so in a little less than two weeks.

 

[Classic Speedy]

LOL, Will Ferrell didn't shake Conan's hand as he came on stage.

Glorious episode. Loved Will Ferrell. "Everybody's excited to see that beard come off. Didn't you see? There's people cheering in front of the White House!" Haha.

His sudden "SHUT THE BLEEP UP AND LET'S DO THIS!!!" outburst was great.

The whole interview was great. Aside from that line, I also enjoyed Ferrell threatening that the commercial break better not be longer than 15 seconds.

Also the newly-shaven Conan asking Ferrell how he liked it. "...I've made a terrible mistake."

Paul Bettany, the follow-up guest, just couldn't sustain interest after all that. It was similar Mitzi McCall and Charlie Brill who were on during the episode of The Ed Sullivan Show with The Beatles. Well OK, maybe not THAT bad, but the focus of this episode was definitely on Conan's beard comin' off.

 

[CantThinkOfaName]

Great episode. I loved it.

Another bit from the NBC days made it's long-awaited return tonight: the made-for-TV movie casting (in the case of this episode, the TV Movie about the recent death of Osama Bin Laden).

In case you're wondering: yes, Conan made a Hilary Clinton/Chuckie joke, although Patrick from Spongebob has replaced Ralph Wiggum as the person playing George W. Bush.

 

[Classic Speedy]

Huh. Apparently the S-word can't be said on TBS anymore. Wonder if they got letters from upset viewers over language.

I can't remember how it was used to before, but a whole lot of times is certainly different than one.

The S-word was said in recent previous episodes and was bleeped there too. And IIRC, in those instances it was only said once. Could be wrong though.

 

[veemonjosh]

That slogan for the final three Oprah shows really is perfect.

"YOUR HEART will crap its paaaaaaaaaants!"

 

[Wonderwall]

That slogan for the final three Oprah shows really is perfect.

"YOUR HEART will crap its paaaaaaaaaants!"

The image of Oprah's gaping mouthed yell that shows up with that line just sells it.

And I love Conan's jokes on Kirstie Alley, it just doesn't get old because how silly his jokes always are.

 

[Classic Speedy]

Adorable.

 

[TnAdct1]

No, the real highlight of the animals bit last night was this (warning: most likely NSFW).

 

[Classic Speedy]

The snake bit was good, too. I always enjoy whenever an animal expert comes on these talk shows.

Last night had Dana Carvey and his great impressions. I can't say I've regularly followed him since his SNL days, so it was fun to see him tackle newer targets like Obama and George W. Bush. His Norm impression was pretty spot-on, too. I kinda wish Norm would've made a surprise appearance so they could've been on camera together, kinda like that SNL skit where Dana impersonated Dennis Miller on Weekend Update.

 

[Classic Speedy]

Just a reminder: New episodes begin again tonight, with Ice-T, Breckin Meyer, and Flogging Molly as the guests.
