Video: Conan Reenacts The Justin Bieber Paternity Scandal With Peanuts

Yes, peanuts. As in: groundnuts, legumes, goobers, geek-poison, G.W. Carver gold, the crunchy stuff in that Pad Thai you’re eating again, you unadventurous chump. A video segment on last night’s episode of Conan used a couple of peanuts-in-the-shell to recreate the Justin Bieber/Mariah Yeater paternity scandal… with a little creative interpreting, of course.

Video: Conan's Masturbating Bear Is Back!

The normally L.A.-based Conan has been shooting in New York this past week and last night’s episode marked the triumphant return of the beloved Masturbating Bear character. And hey – it looks like MB really got his shit together! He’s off in the suburbs with his family, living a fully pants-on life. How does he do it? How does he resist masturbating on national television? More »

Video: Harrison Ford Keeps Showing Up to Late Night Interviews Super High

If you watched Letterman last night, you were treated to a bizarre performance from Harrison Ford, who seemed very clearly high as a kite (one of those rainbow kites with the long strings that trail off slowly behind it). Harrison lamented his lack of Oscar wins and talked a lot of nonsense about horses. The whole thing was very reminiscent of Han Solo’s Conan appearance from last year, where the actor talked about blimps in a surreal, altered state. Bizarreness, all ways round. More »

Video: Conan O'Brien Wears A Spirit Hood!

Vanessa Hudgens was a guest on Conan last night, and she brought Mr. O’Brien a Spirit Hood! He got the wolf, which is cute, but we totally would have pegged CoCo as a panda. Also, in her interview we learn that Vanessa and her mom hang out at the Saddle Ranch Chop House in West Hollywood, which is where all the sorority girls we went to college with would go to ride the mechanical bull and vomit.

Bull Spirit Hood, anyone? More »

Love It Or Leave It: Conan O’Brien’s Jeggings

Love It Or Leave It: Conan O'Brien's Jeggings

Conan O’Brien hit the airwaves in a pair of jeggings last night (as promised!), and we’re somewhat torn about their sartorial merit. On the one hand, Conan’s slender figure is ideal for the jeans leggings look, and that color suits him nicely. On the other hand, we’re not sure the pants go with the rest of Coco’s outfit. Maybe if he’d worn a different shoe, like a topsider without socks, the look would have worked better? And he could probably lose the tie as this particular pair of jeggings fall on the more casual end of the spectrum. More »

Poll: What Did You Think Of The ‘Conan’ Premiere?

Poll: What Did You Think Of The 'Conan' Premiere?

Conan premiered last night, you guys! And what did we get for all that anticipation? Well, the Masturbating Bear made an appearance, as did the grimy L.A. River. Conan O’Brien‘s first guests were Seth Rogen (who was adorably nervous), Lea Michelle (who was mostly likable!) and Jack White (who was just Jack White). Conan was his own musical guest, accompanying Jack on a Nashville-twangy song.

The show lived up to its eponymous title as nearly all the jokes focused on Conan’s Tonight Show debacle — which is to say the content was primarily about the host himself. Which isn’t necessarily a bad thing! Conan’s brand of humor has always made himself the mode for delivering jokes. As opposed to a Letterman or a Leno, known for their monologues, or a Fallon whose sketch background means his strength is the characters he becomes, Conan makes people laugh most when he’s using his lanky limbs to dance or mocking his own shortcomings.

Fan Fiction: Conan’s First Guest Is Me

Fan Fiction: Conan's First Guest Is Me

Before the show gets going, let me just say that it is such an honor to be Conan’s first guest. I hear the other contenders for the gig were Brad Pitt, President Obama and the ghost of J.D. Salinger — so I guess you could say I’m in decent company. Heh!

I’m hanging out in the green room (which is orange) right now. Conan’s in the makeup trailer getting his face powdered. His artist confided in me that she uses extract of polar bear fur on Conan’s face because it’s the best match for his skintone. She’s even begun to marked the powder as something called “CoCo” which is one of the 45 Eskimo words for snow and also a very confusing label for something that looks like the opposite of chocolate.
