Willie Nelson’s Audition for ‘The Hobbit 2′ Will Give You Chills
Step aside, Sir Ian McKellen. Your role as Gandalf is about to be taken by an unexpected enemy...famed country singer/songwriter, Willie Nelson!

" a good actor, but, hell, I'm Willie Nelson!" That's right, you are.
The legendary country star and marijuana enthusiast turns 80 years old on Tuesday, but instead of us honoring him with a gift, he's given the world the best thing ever -- a spoof audition reel for 'The Hobbit 2.' What would the Peter Jackson-directed films look like with Nelson in the role of Gandalf? Here's a taste.
The annual White House Correspondents' dinner took place this past weekend, and it was a delight. We honestly think it was probably the best performance at one of these dinners since Stephen Colbert roasted George W. Bush right in front of him (this makes us cringe a little bit less though). Only we aren't talking about Conan O'Brien -- we're talking about President Obama, who really hammed it up this year.
It's official -- Jimmy Fallon is taking 'The Tonight Show' host spot beginning next February And while he's surely elated as ever, we were curious as to what the last 'Tonight Show' host had to say. No, not Jay Leno. Conan O'Brien.
Conan O'Brien has been curiously silent about today's big 'Tonight Show' shake-up, but it seems the zombie apocalypse outside his recent Atlanta production may have taken precedence. Following Sunday's big 'The Walking Dead' season 3 finale "Welcome to the Tombs," several of the cast invaded the Tuesday episode of 'Conan' in character, with impressively hilarious results. See 'The Walking Dead' invade 'Conan' inside!
Just when we thought everyone was getting in on the Harlem Shake craze, there's one guy who's shutting it down. Late night host Conan O'Brien showed exactly what happens when a member of his staff attempts to put together a "Shake" video -- they go to the Time Out Corner!
Who doesn't hold an immense appreciation for the 1985 cult classic, 'The Goonies'? Apparently, Johnny Galecki of 'The Big Bang Theory' agrees, and therefore, asked Conan O'Brien to help him reenact his favorite scene from said film.
Just as the Puppy Bowl sits as the heavily popular (or pupular) alternative to America's favorite Sunday night time-waster the Super Bowl, Conan O'Brien once again introduced his own alternative to watching his own show.
It's that time of year -- Super Bowl! Sadly, many people are experiencing hardships during this financial crisis and trying to save some money. But the fact remains that it is the Super Bowl, a time for all types of gatherings -- most of which aren't cheap -- in celebration of the pigskin. Thanks to the folks over at 'CONAN', we're getting some insider tips as to how to stash those dollar, dollar bills and still throw one heck of a party. Specifically from the host's prop master, Bill Tull.
If only it actually went down this way.
With his new-found free time, cycling legend/disgrace Lance Armstrong recently took to the OWN network with Oprah Winfrey to discuss his doping, his loss of advertisers and apparently his immense jerkiness. And while Armstrong was candid in his "no holds barred" interview with the big O, the folks at CONAN saw a perfect opportunity to spread some humor.
In what felt like classic Conan, last night's episode held arguably one of the funniest sketches the show has churned out since its 'Late Night' days. He unleashed a bit regarding what we hope would actually go down at the couple's ultra sound. In truth, it might not be all that far-fetched.
