I don't watch the shows because my TV watching at that time of night is hit or miss and I usually end up getting a few minutes of either Conan or one of the sitcom reruns like 30 Rock. But I do enjoy when one of their bits is funny enough to make the rounds of the internet. I love celebrities read mean tweets, the one where the parents pretend to eat the halloween candy, etc. Two recent ones that were funny - when Kimmel "translated" Iggy's new Fancy song and when Fallon did a barbershop quartet version of Talk Dirty to Me with Kevin Spacey.
I think both of those guys would slay you if you were hanging out with them one on one. Ferguson is incredibly witty, you can tell, very quick on his feet. Conan gets a bit too over the top ridiculous at times, but the funniest moments on his show are not the scripted skits or acts, but his reactions and looks during interviews. His hilarious interactions with guests seem off the cuff and random, where Leno and Letterman always seemed canned. Conan also brought along Andy Richter which I give him bonus points for.
Ferguson is a professional comedian first, I'd love to hang out with him. Conan's shtick makes me laugh and he also had Triumph and The Masturbating Bear.
Bob Dole and Ray McNeely were by far the funniest cut-outs to me. The problem with the Arnie one was it spawned a limitless army of unfunny assholes who thought impersonating Arnie made them hilarious.
NEVERMIND THAT SHIT... Ghostbusters is getting a 30th anniversary theater release. Now let me tell you about the Twinkie.
These are also the exact reasons I think that Colbert is going to destroy him for the next decade or so. The only advantage Fallon has is The Roots.
I think that is largely dependent on whether they allow him to be his Colbert Report self or if they force him to be more typical late night vanilla. I think it would be fucking hysterical if he upstaged his guests on CBS like he does on comedy Central.
I remember seeing it opening weekend at the Dive-In with my parents. It was a double bill with Moscow on the Hudson.. Think I saw it twice more in the theatre. It's fucking timeless, and the effects still hold up well. Egon, this reminds me of that time you tried to drill a hole through your head, you remember that?
PARKER. What the fuck is in the water in Chicago? I've been there a week until tonight and I'm saturating this plane seat with uncontrollable hot, sticky farts.
The reason you're shitting yourself is obvious. It's Chicago. You no doubt fucked with the Lords Of Hell.
One thing I never understood about Chicago. They can turn the river green on St. Patrick's day, but they can't make it not stink, even in the winter.
Seems like the appropriate time to mention tonight my son told me he has a rash on his butt from pooping so much. I didn't know quite what to say to that.
I like Chicago. If I had to live in a big city (obviously Denver doesn't count as a big city), I'd live in Wrigelyville.
Uh, the solution seems self evident: Stop pooping. Jesus, people actually go to medical school for this stuff? What a waste.
I always say who needs a medical degree now that we have Google. Of course, pretty sure the answer is always cancer. He was having issues. That statement was preceded by him telling me when I went to wake him up for school that morning that he was in the bathroom since 5:21--not 5:20, not 5:25. It was 6:00 am. Poor fella.
