Post-Retirement David Letterman

Or... Santa. Or the fisherman killed by the sexy teens in a hit and run and they made a pact to never tell anyone.

Here's how naive I am... All those times Dave made those jokes about wearing a toupee, I thought he was just joking. I thought he just had bad hair so he made light of it by saying it was a toupee. It took me WAY too long to figure it all out.

Conan - Jordan Schlansky Product Review

Not a lot of product info in this one.


Ironically, Jordan gives more information about the Norelco Bodygroom 2038 in the video where Conan and Jordan attend couples' counseling.

Tonight Show - Spit Takes and Space Rock

Each of these is like half a video so the two of them together warrant a post.

First up is the Point Pleasant Police Department sketch. Is there a more threadbare conceit for a comedy sketch anywhere? I don't know of one. But the "writer's strike" clip is a good wink to the audience that they know that we know.



Oh, hey look who it is, it's Coldplay! Life on Mars.



Today I learned that the piano player on the original Bowie version was none other than Rick Wakeman. Nice.

Conan - A Half Hour of Hannigan, the Traveling Salesman

Someone on youtube has compiled a full half hour of Hannigan, the Traveling Salesman sketches. Genius!



I hate to be "that guy" but this is when Conan had writers and cutting edge comedy. That Brian Stack could write so much dialogue with so many jokes is amazing. Just as amazing: he seemingly never stumbles in the lightning-fast delivery. I haven’t been this impressed since Bing Crosby starred in "The Country Girl". Der Bingle sure showed some acting chops in that timeless weeper.

The 2016 Cardboard Classic

The Cardboard Classic, in case you don't know, is the annual event where people make elaborate sleds out of nothing more than cardboard and glue and then ride them down a ski slope.

For all the known annual events and "viral videos" there are - as connected, digitally, as the world seems to be - this event still seems to be a well kept secret.

Aaaand Neil Breen's Got a New One

A new one?? How does he do it?!

Here's the trailer for Neil Breen's new (I don't mind pre-emptively calling it a) masterpiece, "Pass-Thru"...

Neil, you had me at the thumbnail.



Red Letter Media has released a new highlight video where Rich Evans describes the plot of one of Neil Breen's previous films, "Double Down".

NSFW.



And while we're on the subject of Red Letter Media and Trailers. Here's Jay's review of the new "Ghostbusters" trailer. He has a unique and interesting take on what we should expect...
