Conan O'Brien - Jim Carrey

by **Ripper** on Thu Dec 22, 2005 10:07 pm

Anybody see the episode with Jim Carrey and Isaac Hayes? That was one of the best episodes ever! Great from start to finish, if you've never seen Conan O'Brien, get your hand on that episode (it Aired the 21st I think).

Conan is probably the funniest man on TV right now. I love his show, whenever I get the chance to watch it. The only problem is it is on too late because I have to wake up too early.

Conan's highly underrated. Let's not forget he was behind some hilarious episodes of The Simpsons (and pitched the ideas for some he didn't get the written by credit for) as well as his work on Late Night.

Yeah, I saw that episode. Pretty funny. And cool trivia about the Simpsons, Andrew. Never knew that (Y)

I watched Conan O'Brien probably once, but I thought he was one of the funniest guys out there on television. Well, at least on my crap ass T.V. with almost no channels.

Marge vs the Monorail and Homer Goes to College are two of his. Some pretty interesting stories about him in the commentaries on the Season 4 and 5 boxsets of the Simpsons, he also joins them on the episodes he wrote.

yeah , I remember seeing his name during opening credits and I've basically seen every simpsons episode before the new ones.

Riot why don't you just tape conan? That's what I used to do when I used to watch conan , anyway.

Too much effort to tape something, especially since we still are stuck with a stupid, old VCR.

I never knew that either.

Missed the episode, but I remember the last episode he was on and it was hilarious.

Conan doesnt air on dutch tv so I have to use the internet in a certain way. They did used to have it on dutch tv, when we still had proper NBC, i was like 14 watching on a black and white tv. Andy Richter was still on, he played the sidekick role to perfection. I managed to find the 1st episode ever, with John Goodman, pretty quirky start. He used to laugh like a girl in a very nervous manner.

I've watched Leno and Letterman. But Conan is the best late night show in the world (by that I mean all the american, english and dutch shows I've seen). In fact he's not underrated at all, as he is going to take over from Leno when his contract expires in a few years. Jonathan Ross' show comes in second, but i doubt many have seen that (It's a BBC show, but Ross manages to get huge guests anywhere from Madonna to Cameron Diaz). In fact those are two hosts that the stars seem to genuinely like, what makes for a better show. You wouldn't see Cameron Diaz burping on US tv and you wouldnt see Jim Carrey going stark raving mad on just any show, ...mmm...okay maybe he would. I remember Snoop Dogg shooting a short sequence for the show, where he confesses he is going to change his name to Scoop Doggy Dogg and start an ice parlour after he's done rapping). It's also interesting to see how the same guests act differently on both of the shows, because they both get something special out their guests, but in a different way.

Anyway kinda drifting here, I have an interesting interview on Conan, it's a long read, but if anyone is interested i'll post it.

Yes, I have to watch Conan O'Brien tonight but before I do that I have to watch my new The Office DVD that I got in the mail today. (Y)

That doesn't mean he's underrated. Perhaps not within the industry but as far as a lot of viewers are concerned I don't think he gets enough credit as a performer or for that matter a writer given his work on The Simpsons. He also wrote for Saturday Night Live before that and of course contributes to the sketches and whatnot for Late Night.

Speaking of Conan, I just watched his Christmas episode.
I love it when Tony Bennett sings for the show during Christmas.
(I must be getting old to like Tony Bennett

(Sketch written by Conan)

[ a couple of guys walk around a nude beach ]

Bob: Is this great or what?

Doug: I feel a little self-conscious, Bob. I mean, I've never been to a nude beach before.

Bob: Aw, listen, Doug, you don't have to worry about that here. The people at this club, they're not hung up about that kind of thing. That's what's great about it, everyone's just here to relax.

Doug: Really?

Bob: Yeah, yeah. Believe me, in a few minutes, you'll forget all about it. C'mon, I'll introduce you to some of the guys.

Doug: Okay...thanks, Bob.

Bob: Hey guys!

Jack: Hey, Bob! Hey, your penis looks great today.

Bob: Thanks, Jack. Yours too.

Ted: Hey, Bob.

Bob: Hey, Ted. How's your penis?

Ted: Not bad.

Bob: Good. Hey, I'd like you guys to meet Doug.

Jack: Hey, Doug.

Doug: Hey, guys.

Jack: Hey, pretty small penis there, Doug.

Doug: Huh?

Ted: Yeah. You could pick a lock with that penis.

Jack: Hey, that's okay. There's plenty of guys around here with small penises. Bill's got one. Hey, Bill - come on over here and show him your penis! Bill, this is Doug.

Bill: Hey, Doug.

Doug: Hey, Bill.

Bill: So I guess you have a pretty small penis.

Doug: Yeah, I guess so.

Bill: Well, that's okay. I hear it really doesn't matter to women.

Doug: Yeah, I read that.

Jack: Okay you two, enough small penis talk.

Ted: Hey, guys, wanna see my pictures from Barbados?

All: Yeah, sure.

Ted: Okay. That's me with some friends on a catamaran.

Jack: Penis looks great.

Ted: Thanks. Here's me, playing tennis with my father.

Bob: Hey, you've really got your dad's penis.

Ted: Yeah. By the way, Jack, what have you done with your penis? It looks super!

Jack: Oh, I go to this place on Long Island. They do great work.

Ted: Wow. You got the address?

Jack: Sure.

Ted: Great. I'll write it on my penis so I won't forget.

Bill: So, Doug, where are you from?

Doug: Montpelier, Vermont.

Jack: Oooh...cold up there. Must be tough on the penis.

Bob: Bill, you're from Denver, right?

Bill: Yeah...

Ted: Good penis town.

Woman #1: Hey, everybody!

Jack: Hey girls!

Woman #2: Hey, who's the new guy with the penis?

Bob: Oh, that's Doug.

Woman #1: Hey Doug.

Doug: Hi.

Woman #2: Hey, pretty small penis.

Doug: Yeah.

Woman #1: That's okay.

Doug: Hey, thanks.

Woman #2: Hey, Dave just made a great sand penis sculpture. You should come and see it before the tide comes in.

Woman #1: Yeah, it's got testicles and everything!

Ted: Great. We'll check it out.

Bill: See, Doug, you had nothing to worry about.

Doug: Yeah, I guess not.

Jack: Hey, who wants to sing the club anthem?

All: Yeah!

Bob: Okay, I'll start:

"I once had a penis sing to me
His Penis Penis song
And when that Penis Penis sang
Here was the Penis's song
He'd sing me..."

All: "Penis, penis, penis, penis
Penis, penis song.
Penis, penis, penis, penis
Penis all day long.
Penis, penis, penis, penis..."

[ Jack steps forward ]

Jack: Hi, I'm Kevin Nealon. What you just saw was an attempt to make an important point - that wherever you go, no matter how you look on the outside, we're all pretty much the same. You know, when the Standards Department was dissolved here at NBC, we welcomed it as an opportunity to deal with issues like these in a frank way. And to be honest, we're a little disheartened by the snickering we heard during this presentation. It kind of makes us wonder if there's room for serious discussion of these subjects on television. So to those of you who missed the point - grow up. Really.

All: "Penis, penis, penis, penis
Penis all day long.."
