Yeah, I know. I kept staring because I didn't really think it was her.

Her acting was proof enough.

So I didn't see anyone mention this but Conan makes a Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles reference in episode 8 (june 10th) while stunt fighting with Steven Ho, whom a quick imdb visit lists as being the stunt double for Donatello in the second and third TMNT movies!

Only 2 weeks in a we have a TMNT reference. It must be cool for Eastman and Laird to see their creations mentioned in the most random places. And it was alongside a Superman reference too.

I've only watched 4 episodes so far but I've been really impressed with Conan's Tonight Show. I think the complaining is unfounded, it's not stream lined yet but there have been some really great skits in these 2 weeks. I'll definitely keep watching and hope Conan becomes more successful than any other late night host.

Yeah Conan referenced the turtles a couple times. I meant to post that here, just forgot.

Conan's show has been the bee's knees. He's reaching a whole new audience if the demos are to be believed and the Tonight Show is as funny as it's ever been now. Although he does appear to be in a war with Letterman (Which is actually good for both) and in the end I think he'll become the eventual winner and likely more successful than anyone else in a long time doing the gig.

His skits have all been fantastic so far. My favorite is his shopping spree in episode 2 where he's walking down Rodeo Rd. with Rick James/Predator hair, a fan, and a bitch belt buckle.

He just needs some time to grab viewers, there might be a slight drop for a while, but eventually I'm sure he'll become king of late night talk shows.

Conan's a fan. He's mentioned the TMNT before on Late Night.

Didn't know about Steven Ho being Don's stunt double tho. That's awesome.

Triumph has been spotted at the Bonnaroo music festival in Tennessee this weekend. I think we're in for a treat this week.

Okay, if anybody watched tonight's episode thinking Conan is going to "class the place up" or tone his show down for the network, I think they can rest happy now. In sixteen years, I don't think I've ever seen a dirtier show at 10:35 (or at 11:35).

Lovin' it.

Last nights show was absolutely hilarious. I loved Bruno.
