HE ROCKS!! I remember when he did a cameo on The Office and I nearly shat myself.
I love Conan, even if I haven't been watching his show a lot recently... But he's awesome :3

I'll forever regret never having been able to see his show in New York, but one day I'm definitely heading to LA to try and see him there :heart: Conan will still be God, even if he's gonna have to tone some things down on the Tonight Show.
And thanks for the link, dai!

Ah, Conan. The countless times I stayed up way past my bed time in high school to watch his show. He was and is always hilarious. I hope he does great with the Tonight Show.

I think I laughed more in the first 10 minutes than Leno ever made me in his 17 years. This is a HUGE improvement over that hack. Conan ROCKS! :twothumbs

Conan's going on tour! Hitting 30 North American cities, he'll be EVERYWHERE! Even a place called Edmonton. I was lucky enough to get a ticket to the first NYC show! So excited, I haven't seen him in maybe ten years!

Man, that site was completely jammed up a few hours ago. Good move on his part: keep the fire burning until he signs with another TV network.
I guess he's not pledging to appear in all 50 states and Canada...

George Lopez moves to midnight. Bill Simmons called bullshit on a report that Lopez appealed to O'Brien personally to make the move to TBS.
No matter: Conan's gonna be funnier than Lopez or even Frank TV...

Crazy!!! I wonder how much of Conan's material / band is gonna be there. Certainly NBC won't make him change his music. The only way I get to see George Lopez is on the Latino channel lol, but I'm sure some local station will pick him up.

Conan walked into my workplace after doing a show in Vancouver last night. He was visiting some dude, presumbly a friend. (http://img709.imageshack.us/img709/4719/image145v.jpg)(http://img386.imageshack.us/img386/8153/image143d.jpg)

LOL You stalker!!! I saw it on facebook but didn't see the beard.
“They begged me to play in Calgary but I refused,” the lanky host quipped early on into his 100-minute set. “I didn’t think their hockey team was manly enough.”

I cannot wait to see him! I've been avoiding every review of the show, trying not to spoil it for myself. June 1 can't come soon enough!
Dai, were you able to get tickets to the show?
Mugen nice stalker pics! You should have dressed up as a bear and masterbated in front of him!

Nah jay, it was sold out like seconds after it was announced!! Even those ridiculously expensive dinner / meet n greet packages.
can't wait for full on report and pics/video woo hoo!
with all this MoMusu in bunny costumes, I thought of this sketch: CONAN O'BRIEN, 3/25/94 - "SHOWBIZ CORNER WITH THE EASTER BUNNY" (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wZa47l0pjd4#)
Title: Conan on "60 Minutes"
Post by: Saburo on May 03, 2010, 10:27:39 AM
I just returned home from the first of two sold-out nights of Conan O'Brien's "Legally Prohibited From Being Funny On Television Tour" at New York's Radio City Music Hall. It was an absurdly funny two hours of self-deprecating humor!
First off I want to say Radio City is beautiful. It's been about ten years since I've been inside there and I almost forgot how beautiful that place is. Here's a crappy cell phone pic of the theater from my seat just before showtime:
The opening act was Reggie Watts. If you don't know about him, Google him now! You can't go wrong with a song titled "Fuck Shit Stack," or a song wondering about what's in women's "big ass purse" (answer: more purses.) By the end of his set, Watts had Radio City hot and ready for Conan.
After a short intermission out came "The Legally Prohibited Band" came out, warmed up the crowd with a song, then an opening video played showing what Conan's been up to since The Tonight Show. He's gotten fat, depressed, and has grown a heavy beard while waiting around the house for his next job. Funny stuff. Finally Conan come's out to a standing ovation. He talked about how great it was being back in New York after a long time. He also mentioned how awkward he was performing so close to NBC headquarters which is literally across the street from Radio City saying they would call the cops on him if he did anything that made fun of them. Of course that didn't stop him from taking a few jabs at NBC and Leno. When he did a short little impression of Leno he noted that that was really just his impression of Ludacris.
A few of his old characters made it onto the show including the Masterbating Bear, but due to confusion as to who owned the rights to the character he was renamed the Self-Pleasuring Panda. Also Triumph made an appearance via pre-taped video insulting everything about New York. Conan also did part of the show wearing Eddie Murphy's Raw suit. It was ridiculously hilarious to look at.
In the days leading up to the New York show there have been talk of many special guests and surprises. This wasn't a lie. First off, the musical guest for tonight was Vampire Weekend! They performed Walcott with Conan jamming on guitar along side them. Next up Stephen Colbert came out! He and Conan had a dance off with Conan winning after Colbert ruptured his hamstring. Then out from the back of the theater came Jon Stewart out to save his basic cable boy. Stewart was wearing what Conan called a Mexican waiter outfit. Andy Richter ended up shooting Stewart.
Video of Colbert & Stewart (not mine): Conan O'Brien, Stephen Colbert & Jon Stewart Dance-Off (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=q6iAuPmFkuY#)
Next up came the Walker Texas Ranger lever! Even more special guests came out to help with this bit. First was SNL's Bill Hader, who pulled it as Stefon. Next up was John Krasinski from The Office. And last guest to pull the lever was Paul Rudd. Conan ended up pulling the lever one more time to show this classic:
Conan OBrien - Most random Walker Texas Ranger moment ever (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zo1kNGGEle0#)
It was a fun night all around but I'm getting tired so I'm gonna end this (I didn't even get to mention Deon Cole who did a good stand-up half way through the show). Great night, in one of the most beautiful theaters in the world, with one of the funniest men not on television. I only wish I had a ticket to tomorrow's show.

Yeah the korea episode was pretty funny esp. the internet cafe, kdrama and taekwondo bits. But seriously I always thought he was at least a bit geeky, but he's absolutely horrendous at video games compared to your average geek, myself included.

As those articles pointed out, the landscape has drastically changed from when he left NBC and went to TBS. Plus, his podcast does well and he's been building a network around it so it makes sense he's adjusting his show presence.
