The Definitive Guide to Comedy
Sam Morril was on Wednesday night’s Conan, where he’s not worried if you’re place is messy when you’re trying to hook up late at night. Life is messy. So are porn and Facebook, the two main food groups for any comedian? At least for Morril. Which led to an odd …
Mark Normand returned to Conan on Wednesday night to defend sluts, of all people. Sluts, he tells ya! It’s a big week for Normand. The stand-up comedian, based in New York City but originally from New Orleans, also just released his first stand-up comedy album and will see his first …
Daniel Sloss returned to Conan on Thursday night to talk about the ladies of Wimbledon, the futility of making videogame soccer a bit too realistic, and the dilemma of Tinder. Timely! Topical! Trendy! Things are not going well for Sloss on all three fronts, which makes for more jokes for …
Hari Kondabolu‘s stand-up theme on Monday night’s Conan was colonialism, which meant that he delivered it in English — even though the waiter spoke in Chinese, when we all know that you’re supposed to do in Rome what the Romans do. But what would Adam and Steve do? A lot …

“This job looks easy,” Norm Macdonald told Conan O’Brien, gesturing to O’Brien’s role behind the desk as host of Conan. “Do you have the chops to do it?” O’Brien asked Wednesday night. “I’ve been studying it like a Jesuit,” Macdonald said of the tasks required to host a late-night TV …
How about Mrs. Doubtfire sequel? Forget about that. How about that Mike Recine? Here he is from Tuesday night’s show on Conan, making his debut. Funny stuff. Love that joke about his hot teacher getting married and changing her name (do we all have one of those growing up?!), as …
At today’s Upfronts presentation for TBS and TNT, the cable networks announced they’re keeping Team Coco in business through 2018 with another three-year contract extension for Conan. And throughout Burbank’s Team Coco HQ, and everywhere fans of Conan O’Brien, Andy Richter and the rest of the team exist, late-night TV …
