Conan O’Brien roasts, toasts Pete Holmes on The Pete Holmes Show

Interviewing your boss is weird. Interviewing your boss on TV is weirder. Interviewing your boss on TV when your boss has his own TV show interviewing other people is the weirdest.

Kevin McCaffrey has contributed monologue jokes to David Letterman and once stood on stage, hosed down by Letterman with a fire extinguisher for a bit on CBS’ Late Show. But Wednesday night’s appearance was special, for it was McCaffrey’s network TV debut as a stand-up comedian on Late Show with David Letterman. McCaffrey joked about being a newlywed, going back to Catholic mass, not needing his doctor to tell him he’s fat, and a product you don’t really expect to ever see or buy in a dollar store.
