Fun with Conan

Ed Page, one of the funniest guys in cyberspace, started up Danger Blog! awhile back; it’s full of idiosyncratic stuff that’s alternately charming and hilarious. His latest post is from an article Conan O’Brien wrote for the New York Times, describing his first “Late Night” show. A clip:

Sensing a loss of momentum, Mr. O’Brien quickly launched into a ‘Top Ten’ list, something he’d repeatedly told the press he would never do. The list was rife with misspellings, and three of the 10 entries read ‘joke to come.’ Moments later, he tried playfully flipping a pencil at a camera, but missed and stuck a woman in the eye. ‘At least it wasn’t me,’ quipped the first guest, the former Mets outfielder Vince Coleman. O’Brien burst into laughter at this distasteful comment. ‘Now we’re cooking with gas,’ said the cocky new voice of ‘Late Night.’

Lots of fun at the link above, for those who refuse to be serious. Conan article archive here.
