Tonight Show - True Confessions Fallout

Tonight Show - True Confessions

To promote the new season of "True Detective", Colin Farrell and Vince Vaughn play "True Confessions" with Jimmy. Each of them reads a confession from their past that could be true or it could be a lie and the other two have to guess which one it is.

This game feels like it should be called "Good Cop/Bad Cop".

Conan Reviews Video Games - Halo 5

Conan and his team, Team Coco, challenge Team Silicon Valley in the won't-be-released-for-a-long-time Halo 5. Treachery is afoot!


This video gives me a queasy feeling as it reminds me of playing Halo, myself. Those were dark days. In other news, I've been watching Silicon Valley recently. It's pretty good.

Conan - New Spotify Channel

Conan has a new Spotify channel at http://teamcoco.com/spotify. Before they upload the Minty Candy Cane Theme, they're first uploading playlists containing every musical guest that has ever appeared on any Conan talk show. The playlists are divided by year.

Someone in the youtube comments requested the Cameltoe Annie Theme. That's a deep cut.

The first ever musical guest? Radiohead playing "Creep" in 1993.

Seinfeld Doesn't Like Talk Shows

Jerry Seinfeld explains why he doesn't like doing talk shows and probably won't be on them in the future.



I don't think there's anything particularly interesting, funny or revelatory here, exactly. I think it's no secret that talk shows do pre-interviews. It's just a matter of degree. And there are pros and cons each way.

Letterman, on one end of the spectrum, didn't rely on the pre-interview hardly at all and the result was a genuine conversation that might be boring, might be awkward or might be amazing.

On the other end of the spectrum is Conan, who'll always get the funny interview but it's utterly artificial. Anytime you hear questions like "You were on vacation recently, I wonder if you enjoy foreign breakfasts." or "You're pretty popular, I bet you have some interesting conversations with toll booth operators", it should be obvious to anyone on the planet who's given it even a second of thought that this is not a real conversation - he knows there's a funny story there and he wants the monkey to dance.

Terms of Service Endearment

For the first time since its cancellation the stars of Mystery Science Theater 3000 returned to Comedy Central. Now the makers of Rifftrax, they appeared as guests on "At Midnight".

I haven't been watching "At Midnight", although I am a fan of host Chris Hardwick. But somewhere along the line, it changed format from a late night talk show to a sort of faux-comedy-game-show. I don't understand that plus I very much doubt that these jokes are "off the cuff" and not prepared beforehand. Still, the bottom line is: it's funny.

This is the one clip available on youtube:



The whole show is very funny, you can watch the full episode here.
