Man, am I the only one who didn't think it was that funny? I'm a big fan of Conan, but last night's SNL just didn't do it for me. That boxing skit seemed to go on forever, and I really hate watching those skits with Jimmy Fallon playing a guy from the Bronx with his girlfriend. Maybe it's cause I'm not a New Yorker, but I never find anything they say funny. The only thing I really found funny was the Molecular Man skit, but even that one went on too long. I guess I was just expecting too much from the show since Conan was hosting.

The Bronx? Perhaps the reference to Nomar was a little over your head then. Those characters are Massachusetts through and through (much like Affleck and O'Brien)

JoeC...NOMAR!

Yeah that skit reeked of Mr Show influence, or at least paled in comparison to the Boggie Nights "Taint" scetch on Mr Show.

I thought the taint skit and the boxing skit were pretty dumb, but I absolutely loved the Napster Trial and the Molecular Man skits. Also, if the whole episode had consisted of just the "Find the black people at the Knicks game", I would have been more than happy. That was side-splitting.

The Molecular Man! It's funny, cause SNL helped me get a video right during the final round of Name That Video last night. The one the dude didn't get was "Word Up!" by Cameo. Heh. I immediately knew it was "Word Up!" but wouldn't have remembered Cameo if it wasn't for SNL.

The only thing I think that has been consistently funny is the Bush stuff. That was hilarious!

Whoops! Ok, now that I actually think about it, those were Boston accents. Either way, I still don't find it funny.

C'mon you guys didn't like the Napster Trials. That was frigging hilarious.

I think the whole "taint" sketch was just so they could say it over and over on broadcast television. Nobody can really decide if its a dirty word or not.

Did you happen to see Conan on his own show Tuesday night show an outtake from a dress rehersal? During the Napster Trial Sketch when he (Right Said Fred) comes back in disguised as the "beekeeper from the Village People," he can't get his hood off because one of the costume people accidentally zipped it shut! Pretty funny stuff. Maybe they should have left that in.

I thought it was hilarious. Is it possible to get this episode on DVD or even on tape?

Is there any type of Best of Conan dvd?
