Given that he’s eaten beef in record time on Conan, this is all par for the course for TJ Miller.

TJ Miller continues to leave an indelible presence with every talk show appearance as evidenced by his latest sit down with Conan.

As the host of the upcoming Golden Trailer Awards, having a role in the Deadpool movie, and being the subversive Erlich Bachman on Silicon Valley, TJ naturally just talked about the craziest trailer that you’ll possibly ever see, some “unbelievable” details about Deadpool that Marvel might get mad at, and showed how to be Erlich in real life.

From seeing this and every other talk show appearance by TJ, you could easily cut together a full length comedy special.

The latest comedian to be featured on Conan also saves lives from burning buildings?

NYC’s Mike Vecchione got to perform stand-up on Conan this week. Throughout the course of his set, not only will you have plenty of guffaws, but you’ll also learn that not all comedians daydream, get inebriated, and go through Netflix.

Some choose to be firefighters when they can like Vecchione.

Also, Attell apparently lives in LA now.

With his signature black baseball cap, Dave Attell hits joke after joke after joke with almost no dead air when appearing on late night.

This appearance from last night’s Conan is no different.

Watch and enjoy here.

We could probably watch a whole hour of this.

During his appearance on Conan last night, Zach Woods brought up an intense improv exercise he used to do that employed a very aggressive, exclamatory demand from the movie “Ransom”.

From that, comes a very fun shouting match in which you’re not supposed to laugh.

Of course, on Conan this spiraled wonderfully out of control. Watch it here.

Conan Associate Producer Jordan Schlansky showed as much excitement as he’s ever shown and his face still barely changes expression.

The latest Conan remote has Conan O’Brien entering the novelty attraction known as an “escape room” at Escape Room LA where groups of people use clues to break out of a room that they’re locked in.

To make things more “fun”, he’s enlisted the help of the infamous Jordan Schlansky who shows signs that he might possibly be excited.

Questioning the point of life never seemed so upbeat.

David O’Doherty performed on Conan last night armed with a little keyboard and fun little songs about the ever present dilemma of life and it’s meaning and purpose is.

Please give it a watch and you might feel better about the potential meaninglessness of it all.

Eric Andre Announces That There Will Be a Fourth Season of “The Eric Andre Show” in Typical Eric Andre Fashion

By now or just looking at the video above before you press play, you should know what “Eric Andre fashion” means.

Adult Swim has indeed picked up The Eric Andre Show for a fourth season and rather than send a press release, Eric went on Conan to do something more akin to the way he does things on his show.

Watch how Eric did the announcement here.

Four seasons in, we wonder how Eric is going to pull off the kind of bits that he normally does with guests as there’s plenty of clips to watch to prepare themselves. Maybe more piñatas will be involved?

Most of you think you’re some sort of fearsome predator or noble, upstanding creature. According to the findings of Joe Zimmerman, the Internet thinks otherwise.

Zimmerman’s latest late night stand-up set on Conan showed what happens when a simple Google search goes fantastically awry, but ultimately ends up with you knowing yourself better, especially when it comes to spirit animals.

Watch Ron Funches as a Guest on Conan and Get a Real Sense of Much of a Joy He Really Is

Ron Funches’ giggle alone could probably power a whole village.

This time on Conan, Funches got to sit and chat with Conan O’Brien rather than do stand-up. As you can clearly see, Funches is just a beaming of light positivity with a dash of self-deprecation thrown in.

Even getting serious infections from one of his old day jobs doesn’t keep Ron down.

Here’s a Very Deserving Montage of Brian Stack’s Time at All of Conan O’Brien’s Shows

Like we said yesterday, Stack would definitely be getting a long montage of all his great moments as they are so many.

Seriously, this is only a drop in the bucket.

Brian is probably one of the people that can say that they’ve played God and The Devil on the same show as well as a possessed omniscient toy bear and some dude who is too into Men Without Hat’s “Safety Dance”.

Watch, laugh, and marvel at it all here.

Watch Comedian and “Acclaimed Rapper” Mark Little Make a Great Late Night Stand Up Debut on Conan

We know it’s April 1st, but Mark Little “isn’t” trying to play us at all when he calls himself a “rapper” and definitely not playing us as a damn funny comedian.

Mark made a spot-on late night stand-up debut on Conan last night sailing smoothly delightfully through jokes into a rap song he’s “famous” for.

Watch his set here and hope he ends up spending more time in the U.S. than in Canada soon.

Will Forte and “Ted Turner” Return to Conan, Hair and All

It’s truly impressive how many ways ~~Will Forte~~ Ted Turner has so many ways to creatively insult Conan O’Brien.

Will Forte made yet another memorable appearance on Conan where he furthered the hot topic of what he has done with his on his head and elsewhere down there as well as perching atop a stuffed buffalo on wheels and having mismatched facial hair, yelling at Conan.

It’s a great compliment to Last Man on Earth co-star Kristen Schaal’s appearance on Late Night with Seth Meyers also from last night.

Will Ferrell Apparently Had Nothing Perched on His Shoulder During His Interview on Conan

If Will Ferrell says he doesn’t know what you’re talking about when you ask about the bird on his shoulder, there is most certainly a bit at hand.

There was a time where Ferrell used to pull bananas from the guest couch that he would eat and try not to address at late night talk shows and now Will has upgraded to birds that may or may not be named “Professor Feathers” on his shoulder, “allegedly”.

Watch Will avoid talking about what’s on his should here, then talk about a cowbell album and again try to avoid talking about the bird.

Here’s Will again explaining why he’s foregoing on the Zoolander sequel that has to do with a certain “friend of his”.

Once more, Will doesn’t talk about the bird, but instead addresses John Madden’s criticism of Ferrell’s spring training charity stunt.

This is just more proof that Ferrell is one of the best late night guests in the late night game

In addition to doing his own program The Late Late Show, James Corden stopped by Warner Bros. to have a late-night-talk-show-host-to-late-night-talk-show-host chat with Conan O’Brien.

One of the more nerve racking things you can do is be the of host a late night talk show for the first time and walk through the curtain when your name is called. Only a few of us get to go through such an experience, so Corden describes in detail to Conan what is what like for him.

Now Germany Is Getting In On Ripping Off Conan’s “Tull’s Tips”

Perhaps, you thought that a French late night talk show ripping off one of Conan’s popular segments would be the end of one of the more bizarre stories behind the curtain of late night.

Well, it’s not.

As it turns out, a German show has now done the same in-a-closet-DIY tips thing that Tull has done. It would almost seem that European late night talk shows might make this into an ongoing prank.

We’re not sure where it will end or if any of these shows will issue a sincere apology, but we do know that there might be a better case of plagiarism here than Blurred Lines from Got To Give It Up.

You’ve seen fans of Conan O’Brien’s various late night shows in such places that you probably wouldn’t think of watching Conan, much less American television like Finland.

Now, see Conan fans in another such place, Pakistan.

Apparently, there are fans across the planet thousands and thousands of miles away from The Warner Bros. Studio backlot, where they tape the show, that are just as excited about Conan as the audience that’s sitting in at the taping according to this video that was sent to Conan’s staff.

Yep, wooden emojis, a joke about something that was already kind of absurd, are actually doing good in the world.

Last year, Conan O’Brien presented a bit about wood emojis that were handcrafted by Nick Offerman. Following that episode, people were actually into the idea of buying those wood emojis and Conan actually had them made.

They sold better than hotcakes.

As of now, over $93,000 has been raised for the Children’s Defense Fund Action Council. Let’s all hope that things like this, Will Ferrell’s spring day training stunt to benefit organizations fighting against cancer, and Kurt Braunohler’s jet skiing to send goats to Africa, keep happening more and more everyday.

While the traditions of day drinking on a day that really doesn’t mark any sort of day drinking can be tiresome, Bill Tull’s Budget Tips is one St. Patrick’s Day tradition we can get behind.

After Conan O’Brien called out France’s late night talk show Touche Pas a Mon Paste for ripping off the long running Conan segment Tull’s Tips, “Moktar” the french version of Bill Tull, responded, sort of.

There wasn’t any real apology of any kind or anything said coherently for that matter by Moktar, so Conan has upped his demands.

This could be a fun international late night show rivalry if this keeps going. Watch the latest here.

Watch Conan O’Brien Get Into The Rum, Song, Dance, Cigars of Cuba

Conan O’Brien’s visit to Cuba aired as a special episode of Conan sans a monologue or sketches and was effectively a big long remote segment, which is one of the best parts of his show.

During his stay, Conan went through what a normal travel show might do in Cuba by taking dancing lessons, joining in a salsa band, taking Spanish lessons, visiting a rum museum, or touring through a Cigar factory, staring out at the sunset from a rooftop, experiencing Cuban fine dining, visiting El Malecón, or even having a farewell bit, but he did so as only Conan can do with his infectious silliness. In fact, Conan pulls off being the most fun loving goodwill ambassador there’s ever been in this Conan in Cuba special.

Conan O’Brien has indeed set a precedent by going to Cuba as the first American late night talk show host in over 50 years to go over there to tape the show.

This special episode “Conan In Cuba” premieres tonight and while it has the potential to be a big watershed moment in relations between the U.S. and Cuba, Conan O’Brien still sings silly songs, dances like a goofball, and all the other signature moves that we’ve come to know and love from Conan.
