Take Me Home... Take Me Away

This cover of Eddie Money's "Take Me Home Tonight" is awesome. It's SO awesome that I've never made it through the whole thing. Is this a joke? Is it serious? Is the dad Neil Young? Why does his bullet wound have a fluorescent glow? If the set of notes contained in the original don't intersect with the set of notes in the cover, can it truly be said to be a cover? Have we reached the very limits of auto-tuning technology? Who are the ad wizards that came up with this one?!

Get caught up in the magic:

Triumph At Occupy Wall Street

In yet another return of a long time character, Triumph the Insult Comic Dog is back to report on the situation at Occupy Wall Street.

I'm a little surprised that they're able to do this. It would seem to me that "Triumph" is part of the vast array of things they're not allowed to do on the new show because it's intellectual property of NBC.

I love that, in the beginning there was at least a semblance of keeping the "reality" of the skit - there was some effort made to show the puppet but not the arm controlling it. Now it's so big, they just don't care anymore.

Here's something the other "tour guides" won't tell you... there's a weird moment exactly at 8:26, Triumph is shown with an African American guy in a wizard costume. Could it be the same wizard from when Triumph insulted Star Wars fans (Blackwolf the Dragonmaster)?

I think it is! What in the what?!

Andy Across America

While others flew in a plane, Andy was forced to drive the entire journey from L.A. to New York. He brought along a camera crew to document the experience.

The video vividly relays the excitement mixed with the sleepy boredom, the adventure mixed with the mundanity of the giant undertaking. By the end, his experience of Philadelphia is to groggily force down a cheesesteak. I can't say I blame him. All in all though, I bet it would be pretty cool.

Conan O'brien: Pedicab Driver

Still in New York City, and having failed as a Chinese deliveryman, Conan drives people around in a pedicab.... with sexy results.

Jimmy Fallon on Conan

Jimmy Fallon was the first guest of Conan's during his New York stint. It's always fun when talk show worlds collide. This interview takes the normal amount of clock time yet it seems to go by in seconds. I think upwards of 3 topics are covered in ten minutes.

Conan in New York, Delivers Food

Conan's in New York for a very special week of shows. In this bit, he delivers Chinese food... poorly.
