Conan Highlights
Here were my favorite monologue jokes from last night’s Conan:
Huge snowstorm hit the Midwest. This thing was crazy. The roof of the Metrodome, where the Minnesota Vikings play, collapsed. So I guess even God wants Bret Favre to retire.
Ukraine announced plans to open the site of its nuclear meltdown at Chernobyl to tourists next year. They say going to Chernobyl is just like going to Disneyland, except the six-foot mouse is real.
Time magazine is now ranking the best tweets of the year. According to Time the top tweet of 2010 was written by John McCain. Experts say it’s even more impressive considering McCain thought he was opening his garage door.
At Boston University many people are complaining about a website where students can log on and rank other students in terms of hotness. Many of the complaints came from a woman who was, at most, a 3.
The desk segments included a clip from Andy’s new reality show, Keeping Up with the Richters Keeping up with the Kardashians. I love Andy-centric bits. It was pretty funny:
Gwyneth Paltrow was the first couch guest. She is in the upcoming film Country Strong. The interview was ok. Gwyneth is a fine person and actresses, but didn’t really do anything in this interview other than answer direct questions. Her longest answers were very short stories. Conan actually talked three times as much, and provided almost all of the entertainment.
TJ Miller was the second couch guest. He is a stand-up comedian and actor. His stand-up and interview was pretty dark and dry, which I found hilarious:
Jimmy Eat World was the musical guest. They rocked.
Good show. I give it:
– Woody
