The hysterical Rory Scovel returned to Conan to do stand up again, this time bringing and tuxedo, bow tie, an ornately decorated grand piano, and a piano player all to talk about getting high while grocery shopping.
Two of our favorite comedians to watch right now that America will hopefully know from far and wide are performing tonight on your television (and probably tomorrow on whatever device you watch YouTube on).
Rory Scovel will be back again on Conan (TBS 11PM), which is always fantastic, and the terrific Cameron Esposito will be on The Late Late Show with Craig Ferguson (CBS 12:35AM) making her late night stand up debut.
In short, don’t miss these.
If you want to (and should) learn more about and get life advice from the guy, the hilarious Kurt Braunohler, who did a Kickstarter to write a joke in the sky, please watch his debut stand up set on Conan that taped yesterday right here.
Also, you can and need to pre-order his upcoming album “How Do I Land?”, which gives you the option of getting a commemorative two sided dildo.
We hope we’re not giving the whole sketch away here, but Jack McBrayer is pretty great here on this Conan “exclusive” for the new season of Breaking Bad.
The Final Episode of ‘The Tonight Show with Jay Leno’ to Air February 6, 2014
So, as it stands right now, on Feb. 6th next year, Jay Leno will step down from The Tonight Show, then The Tonight Show will move to New York City with its new host Jimmy Fallon and Seth Meyers will take the reins to Late Night.
While that might seem momentous, don’t forget that The Arsenio Hall Show is coming back, Chris Hardwick is doing a late night talk show of sorts for Comedy Central, USA is developing a late night talk show with Will Ferrell, and Pete Holmes will be following Conan on TBS later this year.
Basically, late night’s going to get a whole lot more exciting really soon.
The very funny Julian McCullough breaks down Chinatowns and why Jeopardy is better than any show you’re currently watching like Breaking Bad or Game of Thrones in his Conan stand up debut.
All we say is that Steve Martin is a comedic genius and this might be enough to hold us over until Steve does anything else comedy wise for awhile.
In part of both riding the coattails of the reality TV show Undercover Boss and Conan showing promos of “new” shows coming to TBS, Conan showed a great preview clip of “Undercover Warden”.
Whether or not you know what would happen to an Undercover Warden, this is still damn funny.
Dan St. Germain is another great comedian deservedly making his rounds on late night having performed on Late Night with Jimmy Fallon, John Oliver’s NY Stand Up Show, and now, Conan.
Watch his first appearance on Conan here.
Kumail Nanjiani was on Conan last night and recounted one of the weirdest experiences in a men’s bathroom that you can have despite it not involving drugs, sex, or violence.
Watch it here. (Oh, you can buy his great special “Beta Male” now by the way)
The best sketches on Conan are often followed by Conan O’Brien saying, “That was so stupid.” Songs to Sing to Cats by Andrés du Bouchet with Todd Levin and Scott Gairdner
So instead of having beef with various creative endeavors that call themselves “The Midnight Show”, Pete Holmes’ show that will follow Conan this fall, specifically Mon. Oct. 28th at MIDNIGHT at TBS, will be called The Pete Holmes Show.
Watch Pete be joyful about the news as well as joyful in general on Conan last night.
Here’s Jimmy Pardo Filling In as Sidekick for Andy Richter on Conan
For last night and tonight only, Jimmy Pardo is acting as Conan O’Brien’s sidekick and their rapport/chemistry/back and forth is as almost as if they’ve been working together for decades like Pardo’s been warming up the show for that long or something.
Watch Jimmy during Conan’s monologue here.
Conan’s longtime warm-up, Jimmy Pardo, will be, as Andy Richter tweeted, acting as Conan’s sidekick for the next couple of episodes. Not only are we thrilled that we get to see more Pardo on TV, but we’re excited to be told to Google a bunch of references that will be really funny when we find out what/who they are.
Tune in TBS 11PM.
Last night on Conan, the very funny Brent Morin made his Conan debut and was walking around in circles and yelling about not being able to talk to girls, which was pretty great.
Though we’re a little late for posting this after the holiday, we feel that Bill Tull’s 4th of July Budget Party Tips on Conan are still relevant and, more importantly, pretty damn funny.
Watch here (especially the tip about fireworks).
Conan O’Brien feels that he is not only the host of Conan on TBS, but also a spiritual leader and, apparently, the chief detective for things gone missing. So, Conan taped his investigation of his assistant’s mug suddenly disappearing only to find something possibly more troubling/really funny.
Celebrity dish and the hundreds of shows that cover that and overall celebrity culture/obsession usually don’t peak our interest. However, brilliant comedic minds like Bill Burr’s can not only make it palatable, but hilarious and insightful like he did on Conan last night commenting on Paula Deen.
Watch the clip here and then let’s hope Bill gets a TV show where he talks about anything and everything (you know like his podcast).
Some of the best, unabashed silliness that happens in sketches on Conan these days are from the minds of Conan writers hilarious Andrés du Bouchet and Dan Cronin.
Watch their latest installment of Schmecky & Schmecky to see what we’re talking about.
Brian McCann Joins FX’s ‘Totally Biased’ as a Writer/Producer
Brian McCann, which some of you might better know as Preparation H Raymond and so many other characters on Conan, has now gone from Conan to Nikki and Sara Live to ‘Totally Biased with W. Kamau Bell’ at FX.
We can’t wait to see what he brings to Totally Biased.
It’s been a rarity that you’ll get to see comedians be as you would see them be hysterical live as you do on late night talk shows. Fortunately, the tides are shifting with shows like Conan.
Specifically, we’re talking about this awesome late night debut set from the amazing Erik Charles Nielsen.
It was honestly only a matter of time before Nick Offerman, the man we’ve mythologized from his facial hair alone, was going to come out with a book on how to live life to the fullest. It’s coming this fall in the form of Paddle Your Own Canoe: One Man’s Principles for Delicious Living and if you’re looking for a small preview, Offerman gave a taste on Conan last night.
Whether it’s surprising to you or not, traveling back in time to stop Hitler is something is joked about quite a bit in comedy. However, this bit from Myq Kaplan on his Conan set from last night is the best we’ve ever heard.
Andrés du Bouchet is one of the funniest, most innovative, original comedians working today. You might know him as a staff writer on Conan. We know him from such things as previewing his one man show by simply acting out the beginnings and ends of the supposed full 4 hour production.
For his story at the fantastic show Competitive Erotic Fan Fiction created by Bryan Cook, the very funny Jim Hamilton enlisted the aid of one La Bamba from Conan’s Basic Cable Band to give wondrous detail to his filthy, but kind of uplifting Charlie Brown fan fiction.
It should almost go without saying that this is awesome and NSFW. Watch now.
