THIS IS (SERIOUSLY) FUNNY

Conan O’Brien plays old time baseball…

“There’ll be nothing that links me to your murder…” I’ve developed a worrying sort of man-crush on Conan O’Brien lately. This is him having dinner with his associate producer Jordan Schlansky.

“Here’s a spoiler for you… You will die alone!”

THIS IS FUNNY

Ricky Gervais talks drugs, child abuse, necrophilia and the Holocaust with Elmo on Sesame Street.

Meanwhile, on CollegeHumor.com, some poor sap is pranked by his friends into believing that he’s just won $500,000 at a basketball match…

…Which reminds me of a much funnier a a much funnier prank played on Batman actor Burt Ward by students at Harvard University in the 1980s.

NORM MACDONALD ON CONAN O’BRIEN (1997)

When Late Night With Conan O’Brien finished up last month, much of its last week was devoted to re-showing old clips from the show’s 16 year run. One clip that wasn’t re-aired was this 1997 appearance by Norm MacDonald, in which the comedian hilariously sabotages O’Brien’s interview with Courtney Thorne-Smith, one of the then-stars of Melrose Place. Worth watching until the end.

For the full episode, these are parts one, two and three.
