On the eve of Fallout 4′s release, Conan O’Brien had last night’s Conan tricked out Fallout style.
Not only was there a new episode of Clueless Gamer where he reviewed the game in his own non-gamer way with gamer Aaron Bleyaert, but he made a special intro and got into costume especially for the game.
Needless to say, pretty much any other Fallout 4 review need not apply.
Though the Christmas ads popping up before web videos might say otherwise, it is indeed Halloween.
Thus, you’re probably getting your costumes, decorations, etc. ready for tonight. Before you get too into preparations, perhaps you should take some tips from some of comedy’s best and brightest.
Conan O’Brien’s prop master Bill Tull has some budget costume tips.
Stephen Colbert has a quick how to guide on how to carve jack-o-lanterns.
Also, Dan Harmon has advice to specifically dress like Dan Harmon if that’s something you’d be into.
While you might not have the scariest Halloween, you’ll have plenty of fun doing all of the above, screwing up pumpkins and costumes for cheap.
As long as we’ve gotten to see him since he moved to LA, Ahmed Bharoocha has always been a shining example of joke craftsmanship and execution.
So, anytime he’s doing a set, it’s worth your attention. Just watch his performance from Conan last night. In fact, we’ve probably seen this set dozens of times and still laugh pretty hard at it.
Over several years, Andy Kindler has made a tradition of his late night appearances being absolute, slightly off-the-rails treats to watch.
This latest appearance on Conan last night is no exception.
Don’t let her sweet and adorable demeanor fool you, Megan Gailey has well-crafted material delivered flawlessly.
She showed just how she combines the two nicely in her stand-up debut on Conan, which you can and should watch here.
Hell, or really anyone, hath no fury (because it would never think to come up with their own clothing line that shoe horns in the message that tragedy did happen in order to make up for inadvertently wearing a jacket from a company that honored someone that said that tragedy never happened) quite like Nathan Fielder.
Also, you can really get the jacket and really support Nathan’s cause here.

He might have had this title for years now, but Conan O’Brien has to unequivocally be the most intrepid host in late night.
He’s traveled all across the globe over his decades as a late night talk show host from Atlanta to Ireland to Cuba to Comic-Con, which has made for some of his best segments.
Now, Conan is taping a whole show in Armenia along with his assistant, Sona Movsesian, who happens to be Armenian, set to premiere on Nov. 10th on TBS.
There’ll be plenty of reminders between now and the premiere date, but make sure now to watch this.
The wonderfully mischievous Randy Liedtke got to stand-up on Conan last night. Ever the prankster, he also shared his audiobook, which might just change the way you think about audiobooks.
Watch the whole thing here.
As the dust settles from the new changing of the guard in the world of late night, featured stand-up comedy is still kind of rare and mostly put on over at Conan.
Luckily, they have some pretty great folks getting on stage and telling jokes like Tom Clark who did a very well crafted set last night.
Conan O’Brien attempted taking on a video game controller once again for another round of his renowned segment known as Clueless Gamer.
This time, Conan made it special by having the one and only Tony Hawk play the eponymous game Tony Hawk’s Pro Skater 5 along with Lil’ Wayne.
What makes this episode even more enticing is that O’Brien, who has always professed how he’s not particular good at video games, challenges Lil’ Wayne for a high score.
Watch all of that here.
LA transplant, via Georgia, Caleb Synan got to perform his first stand-up set on Conan last night.
His polished, well crafted, bits played quite well in this first outing.
Watch Caleb’s set here.
For your daily recommended serving of classic Conan O’Brien silliness, please watch this.
Comedian and breakfast thief Andrew Sleighter did quite well in notching in his first stand-up set on Conan last night.
Watch his set (as well get some helpful breakfast tips if you know what we mean) here.
Rather than watching go through questions on a blue card, you want to be lured in the ultra cool hangout that is a late night talk show when watching late night.
Jeff Goldblum’s appearance on Conan this week was just that as it crossed the intersection of the silly and sublime even though the topic was Jeff as a new dad.
If you’re appearing on late night soon, take notes.
It’s more proof that Conan O’Brien could just have a spin-off cut from tape of his very own show.
Even more riffs, flubs, tomfoolery a plenty come in the 2nd Scrapisode from Conan.
Enjoy Conan at his loosest whether it be going back and forth with Andy, producers, camera men, guests, or bands that had taped their sets days earlier.
We’ve gotten plenty of holiday specific budget advice from Conan’s prop master Bill Tull over the years.
It’s only natural that he would get to something less time sensitive.
So, if either your family or your spouse’s family isn’t going to foot the bill to pay for the wedding, then look to Bill Tull for some ways to save some money on your special day.
NYC’s Marina Franklin has done more than a few rounds on the late night circuit, but she just marked her first set on Conan last night. It’s subtle, but her perfectly paced, cruise-like timing and cadence is pretty great to watch.
Get ready for more of what should make it to air more often on Conan, but doesn’t probably because Conan O’Brien isn’t in his suit playing a guitar.
Last year, we had a real good time seeing what goes on Conan’s stage before the show tapes or when the broadcast has cut to commercial on their very first Scrapisode.
Thankfully, they’re doing another Scrapisode this Thursday.
Make sure not to miss the wondrous chaos at 11PM Thursday on TBS.
Looks like NYC’s Sam Morril is on his way to being one of the regularly featured stand-ups on Conan.
He made his debut on the show last year and then notched in a fine set this week with his well crafted cleverness.
We could elaborate as to what Tig Notaro chatted about with Conan O’Brien last night during her appearance on Conan in order to entice you to watch their chat.
However, we know that you’re going to watch it anyway since it’s kind of Tig Notaro’s moment right now.
However, we will say that this road trip story is, as Tig will tell you, pretty hilarious.
Life tips, better known as life hacks, seem to quite popular these days. Knowing that, Andy Richter would like to share with you some quick and easy “life hacks” that will get you through your day with ease.
Watch as he shares them on Conan here.
NYC’s Maggie Maye made her first stand-up appearance on Conan last night and made a very good first impression with jokes about her look to the secret behind the word “sassy”, and more.
As Adam Pally has made a tradition of wearing new and more and more outlandish costumes every time he appears on Conan, he made sure he stuck to said tradition.
By doing so, he went so far with his costume that it required an explanation. Watch why Adam dressed like a Victorian martian here.
Switching faces and stealing babies are something that you’d think that would be reserved for an episode of Black Mirror, but apparently those are two components of the friendship struck between Jessica St. Clair and Julia Louis-Dreyfus.
Watch Jessica try to explain it on Conan here.
Tom Papa got to do both stand-up and panel for his latest appearance on Conan, which really just made it a nicely done two-part stand-up set.
Watch parts one and “two” here.
