Early is his career as an NBC late night talk show host come from nowhere, Conan O'Brien's main competition was The Late, Late Show with Tom Snyder. Sounds like a fair fight right? Yeah, for me to poop on.
O'Brien vs. Snyder was like Reagan vs. Mondale, Kobayashi vs, Nathan's, Shockey vs. Tact. It was an N.C.er, a no-contest, in the words of Dick Vitale, who is able to mouth catch-phrases like N.C.er when his head isn't up Duke's ass.
Sunday night at 9:30/8:30 p.m., NBC will air a 10th anniversary special see spiffy official website built for the occasion commemorating a decade of ratings ass-kickings. (Though now that Jimmy Kimmel and Uncle Frank are in town, the heat may get turned up a notch. That show's consistently getting better. Just needs musical guests people have actually heard of.)
If, for some reason, you can't catch the special and that reason is probably NFL Sunday Night Football there is plenty of Conan O'Brien hilarity on the web. Let's start with my tale of the night Conan O'Brien and I watched ugly strippers. There is also a ton of hilarious Late Night With Conan O'Brien clips on ifilm.com. And there are enough Conan O'Brien fan sites to satisfy even the guy who built one with the title Conan O'Brien, aka GOD (settle down, Beavis).
Congratulations, Conan. Here's to 10 more. See you at the strip clubs.
