I heard on the news today that Conan is going to pay his entire writing staff's salaries himself just so they can start the show back up.

I just thought "Wow, what an awesome dude!"

Which made me think about how much I love Conan. His show is seriously funny, and some of his sketches just make me want to pee my pants.

When Triumph the Insult Comic Dog interviewed the Star Wars nerds, I thought I was going to have an aneurysm from laughing so hard.

His old "Cable Channels" bit used to slay me, where he would just tune in to all these bizarre channels... classic.

There are so many excellent sketches from his awesome guy. His sense of humor couldn't possibly be any sharper. He's among my favorite celebrities.

Anyways, what do you all think about him? Any good memories from the show?

      This is so great of him to do. It just shows how awesome of a guy he is. Definitely the funniest guy on TV.

          Conan is great. I'm planning on going to a taping of the Tonight Show when he comes to LA. I'm hoping the strike will be over by then. :roll:

          I like when he does arbitrary things like Rabbit Castro JD.

              Haha, the interupter is a great one.

              Does anyone remember when they showed a potato version of Judge Judy, in which she sentences a young boy to life in prison because he came to report that his bike was stolen?

              I've been wanting to watch that sketch again ever since I first saw it around 1997.

                  Oh man! I laugh so hard while watching those Walker Texas Ranger clips Conan shows, I can hardly breath! Conan O'Brien is the only late night show I watch.

                    Yes, Conan is the best guy ever.
                    I just wish I could stay up that late.
                    In college it was no problem, but now that I have to get up like an early idiot, I never get to see ole Co.

                      My favorite clip they showed was this one where it just progressively gets worse and worse: A guy is already on fire, he gets kicked by Walker in the chest, which knocks him through a window, plummets about 30 feet, then lands in barrels of radioactive waste and explodes.

                        Do you just mention Triumph The Insult Comic Dog and Robert Smigel?!!! Well, I think I'll remember to recruit Robert Smigel, aka, Triumph The Insult Comic Dog, to voice one of my characters in my Dinosaurs: An Epic Prehistoric Tale movie, Tearak the Troodon. My Character, Tearak the Troodon and my dinosaur movie may be made up, but If I make the movie with Robert Smigel, I hope that dinosaur named Tearak would sound like and have the voice of Mr. Beefy, a character that Robert Smigel has voiced in the 2000 Adam Sandler movie, Little Nicky. Well, Simple is that!

                              "If They Mated" is the greatest thing to ever be on TV.
