In honor of staring straight at the eclipse for over an hour today, Space The Infinite Frontier with Harry Caray.

Irish People Watch IASIP

Irish people watch and react to "It's Always Sunny in Philadelphia". It's two great things that go great together. How can you lose with these two?

Late Night - My Morning Jacket

This performance of this song is my favorite musical performance in the history of Late Night with Conan O'Brien. Actually, the competition isn't that crowded for that category - for whatever reason there were only a handful of good musical performances that come to mind readily.

But almost as impressive as this performance is how it exists on youtube. This performance was originally uploaded to youtube from someone's VHS copy but this video is officially released from the record company and in HD. That means that a record company had to be aware of an old TV performance, value it enough to contact NBC and Conaco to negotiate the rights, obtain those rights, obtain an HD copy and convert it for youtube upload. That's something I would have thought impossible. Everyone watching old clips on youtube wishes there was a better quality version but this time it actually happened.

The only thing I would change now would be the way Conan says "Kentuckyyy".

Game Grumps - Zelda's Adventure

The Game Grumps are currently in the middle of an exciting "Zelda's Adventure" playthrough. If you've never heard of ZA, it's the third Zelda game released for the failed Philips CD-i game system. The Zelda games for the CD-i are widely considered to be the worst of the Zelda series and "Zelda's Adventure" is supposedly the worst of the three.

In this episode, the Grumps face the evil foe Lort. Remember the memorable character Lort? Lort, from all your Zelda video games? Well you're in luck, because you're going to get to see him one more time here in this episode.



Good Lort.

Late Show - Fun with Rupert Compilation

The classic Late Show bit: Rupert Jee walks the streets and says and does whatever Dave tells him to say and do.

Towards the beginning, Dave frames it as a "sociological experiment" but is usually more to the point: it's "just really annoying people."

The "it was my thumb" line is one of my favorite moments in Late Show history.



When I first saw this bit, it was thrilling and hilarious and amazing. For some reason, it isn't quite that anymore. Maybe the world has changed, maybe I've changed, or maybe it's that I know how it ends (the video at the end of the clip).

Regardless, there's not a day that goes by that I don't want to see the jazz box.

Tonight Show - Will It Hot Dog?

Rhett, Link and Jimmy ask the age-old question, "Will it Hot Dog?"
