One of Conan O’Brien’s employees, Chris Hayes, Head of Team Coco IT, loves Taco Bell and Conan decided to use that as a reason to shoot another one of his great remote segments.
So, Conan has some fun at Taco Bell headquarters including bringing a little Irish flavor to the Bell. Watch it here.
Though it’s very sad news that The Pete Holmes Show has been canceled, there’s still plenty you can enjoy all the way until next month.
1) Comedian Barry Rothbart on national TV… again. After appearing frequently on national commercials for Taco Bell, web series “Do Whatever”, in which he stars, is set to air on IFC soon.
2) There’s still win a chance to win a spot on the Long Shot Podcast!!!
3) With an endorsement from Kate Micucci and this review, Re-Animator the Musical, might be something to catch at the Steve Allen Theater soon. It may not be the Human Centipede musical, but why the f*$# would you want to see that?
4) “All awards shows are bullshit made up clubs where people decide to give each other prizes. So, I want to thank Comedy Central for saying, ‘we could do that, we could give each other prizes.”-Tina Fey about the Comedy Awards/Reason the Comedy Bureau thinks that such awards shows really shouldn’t be broadcasted ever

1) Wanna see a real roast where there are no celebrities who have jokes written for them? Check out Tess Barker’s Birthday Roast tonight for FREE to see how it’s really done as opposed to the Situation bombing on national television.
2) Zach Galfianakis just inked deal with HBO to create comedy series starring Brody Stevens [via Deadline]. I guess Ms. Joyce Kay Kelly will have to put up with Brody on an even more regular basis.
3) IFC is apparently happy enough with Scott Aukerman hosting of Comedy Death Ray featuring episodes of Freaks and Geeks, Arrested Development, and the like, and are now working on adapting Comedy Death Ray Radio into a series.
