" 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 Funniest Moments From the 2013 White House Correspondents' Dinner

Emerald Catron — Mon, 29 Apr 2013 17:55:11 +0000

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.

Kevin Fitzpatrick — Thu, 04 Apr 2013 00:30:57 +0000

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!

Conan Helps Out Celebrity Stoners With the Marijuana Cannon

Kyle Dowling — Tue, 05 Mar 2013 15:42:15 +0000

You thought spud guns were cool — how about bud guns? On last night’s episode of ‘CONAN‘ we were introduced to quite possibly our new favorite toy: a marijuana cannon. According to Coco, Mexican pot dealers have been using the device to shoot bricks of weed over the border into California. Naturally, the police seized [...]

Kyle Dowling — Thu, 28 Feb 2013 20:49:48 +0000

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. During last night’s episode of ‘Conan,’ Galecki stopped by to promote ‘Big Bang,’ and towards the end of [...]

Conan Takes on Lance Armstrong's Interview With Oprah

Kyle Dowling — Tue, 22 Jan 2013 17:08:35 +0000

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 classicÂ Conan, last night’s episode held arguably one of the funniest sketches the show has churned out since its ‘Late Night’ days. HeÂ 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. How would you react upon [...]

Conan Introduces Walmart's New Military Greeters

Kyle Dowling — Thu, 17 Jan 2013 15:08:52 +0000

Looks like Walmart is attempting to prove to the American public that they aren't so evil, seeing as how the conglomerate just put forth a plan to hire 100,000 military veterans. Sounds like a good idea, doesn't it? Well, with many thanks to Conan O'Brien, we might have to think again.

Kevin Fitzpatrick — Wed, 02 Jan 2013 20:36:29 +0000

Even if the rumors are to be believed, and Jimmy Fallon is to take over 'The Tonight Show' from Jay Leno in 2014, no power in the 'verse will ever keep Conan O'Brien away from TV. Not only does 'Conan' continue to thrive on TBS, and grace us with guest star appearances in the upcoming season of 'Arrested Development,' but it seems the freckled fair-haired late night host has begun crafting a new comedy on FOX, the cutely titled 'Bob's New Heart Show.' Find out the story of Conan O'Brien's latest venture inside!

See How Santa Is Prepping For the Apocalypse

Kyle Dowling — Fri, 21 Dec 2012 15:37:54 +0000

Sorry kids. It appears as if your presents are on back order this year because Santa Claus isn’t coming to town in 2012. He’s too busy prepping for the upcoming (and supposed) apocalypse, according to last night’s episode of ‘Conan.’ In addition, he’s also checking his list — twice.Â Nope, notÂ that list.

Will Jimmy Fallon Replace Jay Leno as Host of 'The Tonight Show?'

Kevin Fitzpatrick — Mon, 17 Dec 2012 23:13:10 +0000

For as much as we've enjoyed Conan O'Brien's role as the host of his own TBS show 'Conan,' Jimmy Fallon's increasingly strong work on 'Late Night,' and even Jay Leno's seemingly peaceful return to 'The Tonight Show,' a new storm on the late-night front might be brewing. Some sources are saying that NBC executives have quietly begun searching for Fallon's replacement, in which case Fallon would take over for Leno as host of 'The Tonight Show' in the next few years. Is there any truth to the rumor?

And lucky for Conan O'Brien, he's discovered a perfect way to unleash those irritations unto the holiday that makes us all crazy, stressed and maybe a little bit thankful -- beating the heck out of everything Christmas with a slo-mo camera.

Unfortunately for us, we don't have a toy like that

Thanks to Team Coco for giving this educational guide to texting for seniors to the world. But you might not want to let your grandparents see it.

Watch Conan O'Brien and Sarah Silverman Corrupt A Baby

Kyle Dowling — Sun, 11 Nov 2012 21:30:28 +0000

We’re not sure this mother received the memo, but late night television usually isn’t for kids, and this is exactly why. Thankfully, her wrongdoing is our comedic gain!
