Conan vs. Letterman
“Late Show” tops “The Tonight Show” in viewers, adults 18-49, and adults 25-54 once againPosted on 16 October 2009 by Robert Seidmanhttp://tvbythenumbers...
Negative opinions spoken here
I don't get it. Conan is HORRIBLE! I can't believe anyone finds this guy funny. When he finally took over for David Letterman, I was expecting someone to be as good or at least close to Dave...

With Great Power Comes Great Responsibility... And With Great Responsibility Comes An Appearance On Late Night With Conan O'Brien!

Posted June 20, 07:05 PM

What can I say? I've been called a tease before, and I'm sure that the comments of this post won't be the last to accuse me of such a thing... But I'm not revealing the name of the Pink Bear tonight. Sorry Atari. Tomorrow, my babies... Tomorrow.

BUT WHY?! You ask, sobbing. WHY DO YOU KEEP DOING THIS TO US?!

Well, it's fun. But more importantly, because I'm about to drop an Awesome Bomb on your minds, and I don't want you to get hurt. As we all know, this blog has broken brains before - so I must dole out the fun nuggets in equal measure, lest someone with a weak constitution should stumble upon our little dinner party freakshow in the process of trying to find The Daily Nightly and inadvertantly pop their parietal lobe. You dig?

So... Without further ado...

Ladies, Gentlemen, and Everything In Between: I'm pleased to announce that our very own Conan O'Brien is featured in a sweet new comic book. It's hitting the streets (droppin') today, and it's not just any old comic book - you know, like "McDonald's Molten Apple Pie Man" or "The Adventures of Cucumber O'Riley" (although I do love both of those books and can't wait for a crossover). No - Conan is featured IN THE NEW SPIDERMAN COMIC BOOK, Y'ALL!!!

Commence wetting your pants.... Now.

The comic I'm talking about is called "MYTHOS: SPIDER-MAN" and is a retelling of the spectacular webslinger's origin!!! For those of you who aren't familiar with the Spiderman backstory or who haven't seen the movie (what I am I saying?! Is there ANYBODY left out there who hasn't had their eyes melted by Raimi's badass blockbuster?!), I'll give you a tiny explanation: See, in the original, right after Peter Parker gets his powers he goes out to a underground wrestling match to test out his newfound abilities and start making a name for himself. Coolio, correct? Well, in the NEW and IMPROVED version (out today, go buy it), instead of going to a silly old wrestling match, Parker APPEARS ON LATE NIGHT WITH CONAN O'BRIEN. Oh snaps, dudes. Oh snaps two times.

I'm not kidding about this. It's totally, TOTALLY awecellent!!! Thanks Marvel!!!

I'd be remiss not to mention that the wonderful webcrawlin' artwork is done by Paolo Rivera, and the series is penned by the Inhuman talent of Mr. Paul "Hellblazer" Jenkins!!! This may mean nothing to you, but I'm a huge comicbook fan, and these guys are seriously great. It's so cool that they put us in there!! I speak for everyone at Late Night when I say: DUDEBROS, YOU GUYS ROCK. (Okay, not everyone uses the word "dudebros", but the sentiment is true for everyone here!!!)

What's that? You don't believe me that these guys are the bee's knees?! Well, then... WHY DON'T YOU TAKE A LOOK FOR YOURSELF, PARTY PEOPLE?!

(click on the images to enlarge, fool)

Big ups to Marvel for hooking us up with these pages... And what awesome pages they are!! Make sure you take a close look at the second one... You may see a few surprises (ie cameos) lingering around!!! SO, SO AWESOME.

What are you waiting for, suckahs?! Get out there and pick this bad boy up!!!

And tomorrow, the bear.

I promise.


Maybe.

« Back to Blog

OH MY GOD! Preperation H Raymond, The Masturbating Bear and Triumph! That's freaking AWECELLENT!!!

I just got home now but I'm sooooo buying that tomorrow before work!

I'm literally in shock with how cool that is! Wow...


******************************************************
Aaron Responds: I KNOW, RIGHT?! Those guys did a GREAT job... I especially like the pictures on the wall of the studio, and how they got Conan's mug spot on!!! Those guys over at The House Of Ideas sure know their stuff!!

PS. Is that Steve with the headset on?

******************************************************
Aaron Responds: HAHAHAHA!!!! I was thinking that it was... It certainly looks like his silhouette, doesn't it?

hey fool! i've been waiting all day for the bear's name. you better have it tomorrow!


******************************************************
Aaron Responds: Is that a... sniff, sniff.... THREAT I smell?! Oh brother!

Aaron,
Masterbating bear + Spiderman = BEST THING EVER!
Thank for sharing this with us! Conan looks excellent in this comic. I love it.
Always,
Cassidy


******************************************************
Aaron Responds: Isn't it totally badass?! Don't thank ME... Thank Public Relations Man Extraordinaire, Marc Liepis for letting me know about it, and making it all happen!! And of course, thank Jenkins and Rivera for doing it in the first place!!! Be sure to pick up a copy for yourself and all your friends - I'll bet it looks much better in person (hint hint thin mint!)

My GOD, Late Night is so awesome... it almost makes me want to vomit. Congratulations!


************************************************************************
Aaron Responds: Thanks Katherine!! I vomit every day!!!

OMG that is the greatest thing to ever happen in the history of all mankind. CONAN IN A COMIC! i just hope that they release it here in australia. i went berko when i saw the masturbating bear - BRILLIANT! i also loved the fact that Conan's famous coffee cup is also featured. when i saw it pinched from the desk by the webby-one, i screamed out loud 'no, not the cup!'

hey, remember a few months back they did that incredible hulk piece on the show where Conan and Max and the hulk started real and turned comic... is there anywhere that can be purchased? i want it soooooooo bad (the comic, that is).

anyways, pant-wetting mission accomplished. t'is true - i am now a fully-fledged comic geek! YAAAAAAAAAAY!

************************************************************************
Aaron Responds: Ha ha - no, there's no place you can buy the Conan comic that we did on the show... But that was pretty awesome, right?!

MYTHOS is a pretty big comic, so I would be surprised if it didn't make it's way down to you guys! You can buy other Marvel comics down there, right? This one shouldn't be any different...

I am watching Conan right now and can honestly say that this is the highlight of my day. And that's not necessarily a bad thing. What's up with the string dance lately? It's like Conan hits the fast forward button when he does it.
Ha ha, he made a comic book joke tonight. Is that a nod to Mr. O'Brien himself in the new Spidey comic?

No La Bamba!!!!! Nooo!!!!!

Can't wait until we find out Pink Bear's name! Don't keep us waiting any longer.

I'm always bummed when you go on hiatus because it means no new blogs or episodes, but I guess I'll cope somehow. That's why they invented ice cream, right?

Yay for Aaron's blogs! And yay for Conan!


************************************************************************
Aaron Responds: That's EXACTLY why they invented ice cream - because one day, they thought that a show called "Late Night with Conan O'Brien" would be invented... And that, years later, an "Insider" Blog would be created and YOU WOULD BECOME ADDICTED!!

Conan heard about the comic and was PSYCHED!! As are the rest of us!!!

This blog really did blow my brain!

I have to tell my brother, he's a total Spiderman fanboy, and I, on the other hand, am a Conan fan girl.
SO, NATURALLY, we're like PB&J on this one, bay bay!

Can't wait to see the name tomorrow!


************************************************************************
Aaron Responds: I TOLD YOU DOOD. Please be sure to wear your special "UnExploder" brain helmet before reading any and all posts!!! I can't be held accountable for melted minds!!!

Hey, Conan is doing his evil laugh. For some reason, I interpreted Prep-H Raymond as Jeff Ross--seriously--because he's standing where the producer should be.

Are you sure this isn't a plug, A-dub?

************************************************************************
Aaron Responds: Yeah - they NAILED the evil laugh. When I look at the picture, I CAN HEAR THE EVIL LAUGH REVERBERATE IN MY MIIIINNNNNNNNNNNNNNND.

A plug?! No. This is less a plug and more me telling you about something totally awesome. I mean, COME ON - it's not like COB is just mentioned in a word balloon... This is something totally awesome!!! Right?!

Aaarooonnn,

I have no idea where to buy this Comic book. I have never bought one in my life, baby. I guess the book store? Puts it on my to do list.

I had a hellish meeting last night and I was so exhausted, I went right to sleep at eight p.m. only to hear the Late Night intro blasting on my TV at 12:35 am. A happy wake up alarm. I'd love to add that to my radio alarm, sweet way to wake up.

It was so generous how Conan let Wanda S. complete her jokes while being interviewed. You won't get that curtsey on you know who's show--- Robin Williams was constantly interrupted, I swear Conan gives his guest more love and respect.

Ok Aaron, name your baby, bear already because I am getting jealous from all the attention you are giving it. Kills the bear and begs Conan to throw it at Brian Williams high window. Conan is such an awesome pitcher. Have you noticed? I was so impressed that Conan (outside in the snow NYC) was able to hit Anchor Brian Williams' window with that snow ball!!!-- this was done on his show several months ago.

See ya'll tonight... :( sad face knowing Friday is it for 2 weeks. Aaron you just have to find a way to write us, so we can keep late night alive until the gang at late night returns. Help us so die hard fans can all chat about the reruns and reminisce together. Think of Lauren, Sev, SOJ, Carol, Liz, James, Steve, RJWhite, Hana, Rosie, Karen, John, anonymous me, and thee others under that... even faithful reader Michael Koman... and so many more who love to read the blog daily without writing in... so to anyone with the power to change this, like maybe wonderful Mr. P.R. man Marc Liepis---please this is what we want, and need, to keep the blog alive with our Aaron through out the Late Night vacation... pretty please... yeah I know wishing ain't getting... so it's 2 weeks of penance... ha? :( I am NOT feeling the love... and runs to Conan to beg and he isn't there to listen. Sigh...

************************************************************************
Aaron Responds: It's only two weeks!!!! You guys will be fine. Just print out your favorite blog posts and put them under your pillow, and I'll visit you in your dreams.

Creepy, huh?

You can find MYTHOS: SPIDER-MAN in your local comicbook store, and possibly local bookstore?!

Or Jacko, if you're thinking about Jacking Koman.

(Note I avoided using the most obvious joke in history right there. Enjoy the silence!)


************************************************************************
Aaron Responds: Yes, I appreciate your discretion SOJ. Thanks for the great suggestion!!

Oh man. Considering how much Conan makes fun of comic book nerds, this is gonna be an interesting sitchyashun to say the least.

Speaking of which, what's the backstage poop on the Jon Stewart situation? I'm impressed (but not in a good way) at how broadly misinterpreted Monday's B&C report has been. It's causing a little stir on the Conan boards by people who don't know any better than what some jerk reporter in bum-f Utah tells them.

************************************************************************
Aaron Responds: Absolutely!!! For all his making fun of comicbook nerds, I think he secretly wishes he was one!!

Perhaps my favorite part of the drawing is the detail on Conan's mug, those nonsense phrases that no one at home can see. I think one of the ultimate pieces of Conaniana would be for someone to sneak into the studio and get some 360 degree shots of what's written on that mug. I mean, the Eisenhower mug has had its day, why can't that mug? Can you, the Intel Insider, give us any details on the art history of the mug? Do you know its production history or its creator? What themes in Conan's life it may represent? How old it is (after all, the first one was replaced after the original went missing after a hiatus, if I remember correctly)?

Do your job, you insider! You have the goo, and the target is right on our faces, so come on and bring it!


************************************************************************
Aaron Responds: It's funny you mention this, because this is something I was JUST TALKING ABOUT DOING in the other room! I can't say when, but this is in the works!!!

i'm serisou! i hate the waiting game.


************************************************************************
Aaron Responds: Who doesn't?! But I like the teasing game!!! HAHAHAHAHAHA!!!

I'm going to be complete nerd and answer SOJ's mug question.
The sayings on the mug include "Sweet sweet goo" "Jub jub" and around the rim "When words fail you choose one" or something to that effect.
It was a gift from a friend of Conans (a writer at the Simpsons I think) who took a pottery class around the time Conan got the job at Late Night and his friend made this for him with all the non-sensical words Conan makes up and gave it to him as a present. It has sat on the desk ever since.
I'm going to go hang my head in shame for actually knowing all that now.


************************************************************************
Aaron Responds: Not bad, dude! NOT BAD. You will learn much more about the mug in the weeks to come (hint, hint)...

oooooh more about the mug! I'm intrigued... and I dont care what anyone say's I'm not a geek.
Now excuse me I'm off to buy that comic book, push up my glasses and shake my index finger in rage.


************************************************************************
Aaron Responds: Ha ha ha! I find myself doing the "Conan Nerd Voice" all the time as well!
