Late Night - A Slipnutz Tribute



I went to tag this post with "Slipnutz" and found it already existed. Back in 2010, Jon Glaser, the middle Nut, went on Late Night to promote his new show and The Roots played the "Slipnutz" theme.

Here's Slipnutz opening for Slip Knot (never heard of them):

Classic Roots Choice #21

Jon Glaser was on Late Night recently and the Roots played him on like so:

And people in the know WERE cracking up. Jon Glaser now has his own show but he started out as a writer for Conan O'Brien. During his time there he performed in a comedy trio known as "The Slipnutz". I was going to explain the history of the trio but youtube actually pulls through on this one:


I'm always surprised to see the footage of Slipknot fans actually booing The Slipnutz - it's not like Slipknot fans to have bad taste. My best guess for the reason is this: The Slipnutz weren't wearing masks. The entertainment value of any music is increased 100 fold when the musicians wear masks (every Slipknot fan knows this).

Jon Glaser must of learned this lesson, for in his new show, he wears a mask and that fact causes the show to be different and better than all the other shows. It's called "Delocated" and it airs on Adult Swim.
