This is why I'm going to miss Conan

This blog is supposedly dedicated to the "strange" humor of the day. It hasn't been very strange at all lately, mostly because I'm not taking enough risks (and the stakes are off the charts when you run a traffic heavy blog such as this). Anyways, this short clip comes from a now extinct show which I will forever miss. Late Night with Conan O'brien was and forever will be the greatest talk show in the history of television. Like with most of my favorite Conan sketches, there's really nothing to get. You just kind of wonder "Why?" A lot of the time, the show feels like some inside joke between Conan and the writers. Even when they bomb, the jokes work, because it all plays back perfectly to the self-depricating nature of the show. It's brilliant. Was brilliant.
