SNL: Andy Samberg is cursed to a lifetime of being randomly interrupted by the unlovable love child of Jon Hamm, Kenny G, and Fabio in the latest Digital Short from the incorrigibly iffy minds of The Lonely Island boys.

Thank you, Conan O'Brien
Over these last two weeks I’ve taken the time to relive some of the countless, unforgettable moments Conan has provided over the years. And these moments, from SNL to The Simpsons to Late Night and The Tonight Show, have vastly amounted. I’m twenty-three. Conan has been doing this for longer than I’ve been alive. And he’s been doing it well.

WatchThere are a many more of these great videos from Conan’s rehearsals for Late Night and The Tonight Show. I feel like nobody knows about them, but they should, because they’re pretty great. The Tonight Show blog is taking a poll about which video is best. This is my favorite I think. Watch and vote here.

nerdology:
HA. I wish I could have majored in “Rescue” at college. Click the picture to see what classes Mario and Fox are taking this semester.
My article is getting some love from Nerdology. I’ve been a closet nerd for awhile, so it feels pretty good to be embraced by the nerd community. Taun Taun!

The Greatest Week in Late Night (Potentially)
It’s no secret that all of the outfoxing and debauchery going on at NBC this past week has been utterly disheartening to late night enthusiasts and fans of comedy. Nobody wants to see all this drama when they should be seeing really tall dachshunds and puppies dressed as cats gracing Animal Planets’ NBC’s late night lineup instead.
However, there is a bright side here. Something...

LARRY KING: It has been almost eight years since he appeared on this program. A welcome back to Conan O’Brien, the host of “Late Night With Conan O’Brien.” He just signed a new deal. Did you almost leave? CONAN O’BRIEN: No, not really. I love to make it sound dramatic and say, I was this close, Larry, but no. I had an offer from Fox, but I...

Jay Leno, 1992
The New York Times:
“I am disappointed,” Mr. Leno said. “I feel like a guy who has bought a car from somebody, painted it, fixed it up and made it look nice and then the guy comes back and says he promised to sell the car to his brother-in-law.” Go Elsewhere? ‘Of Course’
Mr. Leno said he would “obviously leave NBC immediately” if the network...

Conan Won't Move →
People of Earth:
In the last few days, I’ve been getting a lot of sympathy calls, and I want to start by making it clear that no one should waste a second feeling sorry for me. For 17 years, I’ve been getting paid to do what I love most and, in a world with real problems, I’ve been absurdly lucky. That said, I’ve been suddenly put in a very public predicament and my bosses are demanding an...

Monologue Joke, 1/12
New Jersey has become the first State on the east coast to approve legislation for the legalization of medical marijuana. Many people are hoping this will be a wake up call to the rest of eastern states, which marks the first time marijuana has ever been asked to wake up anything other than hunger.

NBC = Not Broadcasting Comedy →
gothamist:
With word coming in yesterday that Jay Leno would be reclaiming his 11:30 p.m. time slot on NBC, the question mark was where Conan O’Brien would land in the shake up. TMZ now reports that network execs are letting him decide if he wants the midnight to 1:00 a.m. slot; “if he does, Leno’s show will only be a half hour. If Conan walks, Leno will get a full...
