If you don’t know Ron Funches, then we envy how magical the next 5 minutes will be watching him for the first time in this return appearance on Conan from last night.
After, that you can watch his first great set and also be amazed/doubled over laughing.
Comedy legend Sid Caesar, whose name you might have been brought on so many comedy podcasts or you might be a thorough enough of a comedy nerd to know in 2014 or you might have actually seen in your youth, has passed away.
Conan O’Brien even took some time on Conan to pay tribute to Sid Caesar, citing him as an inspiration to do comedy.
So, if you’re unfamiliar, you should go look up Sid Caesar now.
Taking from the numerous complaints about the conditions of room and board for non-athletes at The Sochi Winter Olympics, Conan O’Brien and Yuri Tamarov, Sochi hotel PR rep/Andrés du Bouchet make a classic sketch.
How is it classic? Well, when Conan uses the superlative “dumbest” to describe something that just happened when the sketch is over, it’s pretty safe to say it’s classic.
Here’s a great deskpiece bit from Conan on the calendars that didn’t sell so well for this year.
Some of these should be backgrounds on your computer/mobile devices they’re so good.
If you think the Winter Olympic sport of curling is so easy like Andy Richter does, then you should try it like Andy Richter does.
Then, and only then, will you get what’s happening and not be too bad at it.
Watch Richter hilariously try out curling here.
Scottish comedian Daniel Sloss returns, and only after exactly 2 months since his last set, to Conan for, as said above, another great set. His born gay vs. as a choice joke is particularly great.
Instead of just Punxsutawney Phil for Groundhog Day, we have, thanks to Conan O’Brien, Punxsutawney Dr. Phil here in LA.
No more set up needed, just watch and forget about winter.
On Leno’s Final Night of Tonight Show, Kimmel, Conan, Letterman, The Daily Show Go Big
Tonight, Feb. 3rd, 2014 will be the final night of Jay Leno’s Tonight Show after well over a score of years. Of course, it’ll be a big celebration at The Tonight Show with Billy Crystal as the guest.
However, Jimmy Kimmel with cast of Monuments Men including Matt Damon and Bill Murray, Conan with the entire cast of The Walking Dead, David Letterman with Michael Keaton/The Flaming Lips w/Sean Lennon, and The Daily Show with NYC Mayor Bill De Blasio are making the 11PM hour fierce.
We wouldn’t be surprised if everyone has a joke about a Leno leaving in their monologue tonight as well.
Every single Paul Rudd appearance on Conan O’Brien has been subject to a single prank of playing a surprise clip that Rudd pulls no matter the circumstances. Even if he’s been warned not to do it, he does it anyway to the point where it’s tradition.
As you can imagine, it’s been getting harder to execute this prank for the number of times he’s done it, but paralympian Alana Nichols offered the perfect set up to pull this prank off yet again.
Really, you need to watch Chris Fairbanks be absolutely Chris Fairbanks on Conan and kill it during a late night stand up set.
OK, enough of that, now get to watching.
The interns of Conan got to hang out with their boss, Conan O’Brien/asked, point blank, if Conan’s their favorite late night show and what rumors they’ve heard about him.
As with so many Conan remote segments about his employees, this is pretty great. Watch the clip here.
Conan O’Brien got his infamous associate producer Jordan Schlansky to finally clean up his office by bringing in a personal organizer unannounced to Jordan’s office. Of course, Jordan’s not so keen on the idea.
Conan and Schlansky are one the best running bits in late night.
Chad Daniels comes back to the stage at Conan for his second set at the show. Though they’re are definitely some purists who would disagree, we’re glad to see more comics dressing how they want during the late night sets like Daniels does here with a hoodie and letting their comedy speak for itself.
Watch Chad Daniels return here.
Harland Williams is one of our favorite late night guests usually evidenced by his unfiltered tomfoolery while on Conan.
Here’s another great example of it in his latest Conan appearance.
The Most Intentionally Funny Videos of 2013 Part 3
The 3rd and penultimate part of our Most Intentionally Funny Videos of 2013 at The Nerdist has the best Blurred Lines parody, sketches from some of our favorite sketch groups like Dead Kevin, of course, something from Conan O’Brien, and more.
Please watch and laugh until it hurts in these waining hours of 2013 or until part 4 is posted so you can watch everything together.
Tom Papa appeared on Conan to do a late night set and takes now a sort of non-traditional stance on smoking by defending it. He’s trying to bring the kale and steak eaters together as well through this set.
Whether you’re acquainted with the comedy of Tim Conway or not (you should be with The Carol Burnett Show, etc. if you like comedy at all), please watch his appearance on Conan where he’s the consummate hilarious late night guest (i.e. great stories, being able to rib the host and sidekick, callbacks, etc.).
One of the best long standing bits on Conan nowadays is Bill Tull, Conan’s prop master, giving money saving tips in various circumstances.
His holiday edition is no different. Watch Bill Tull’s Budget Holiday Tips here.
23 year old UK comedian Daniel Sloss made a great American TV debut on Conan last night.
If you’re not familiar with comedic stylings of the sharp witted Sloss, please watch this set now.
“Ted Turner” trying to hunt down Will Forte on a fake buffalo was pretty damn funny on Conan this week, but, if for no other reason, please watch this clip for the plethora of insulting nicknames “Turner” hurls at Conan O’Brien.
Jay Larson’s first story on Conan is one of the most viewed stand up clips for Team Coco (and if you watch it you’ll see why).
If you watch Jay’s great second story on Conan about helping a blind man, kind of, you’ll also see why we’re thrilled to see both Larson back on Conan and Conan incorporating more story based stand up into late night sets.
In addition to Anchorman 2 coming out soon, Ron Burgundy’s memoir Let Me Off at The Top! covering so many aspects of the news legend’s life just got released. Burgundy (and not Will Ferrell) stopped by Conan to talk about the lesser expected chapters of his book like a certain type of survival tips.
Here is more evidence of Jimmy Pardo being great on Conan in trying to tell a story, but getting caught up in being Jimmy Pardo.
Chris Elliott has been on a tear through late night as of late in promotion of Eagleheart and his appearance last night on Conan was no different as he made a sad stomach and we’re going to leave the description just at that to not ruin it for you.
Honestly, Jim Gaffigan should have a show on The Food Network or The Travel Channel for the countless hours of hysterical jokes he has had on food around the world.
Watch him showcase more great material on food on Conan last night here and here.
