Conan O’Brien started off his TBS talk show, which he is filming at his house, with a PSA. He wanted to show us how far it is to be 6′ feet away from someone.
Since James Comey is 6’8″ tall, Conan used a life-size cardboard cut out of the former FBI Director, and he put it down on the ground. That is the perfect amount of social distancing you need to do from someone.
What is not the perfect amount? The host says it is one Kevin Hart. Does that mean two of him is better? Nope. Watch the video to see how many Kevin Harts are the appropriate distance to be away from someone else during the Coronavirus pandemic.
I know I am ruining his jokes, but the cut-outs are not actual size. Conan is the tallest host in late night, so that Comey one was way too tall while the Hart one was the right amount of feet and inches.
Now that Conan O’Brien is home, he has a lot of time on his hands. Therefore, he is putting his hands to use.
When Conan noticed that one of the sinks was dripping water, he decided to fix it. How did he do? Better than I thought he was going to do. You have to watch what he does because it is pretty shocking.
I bet Monday cannot come soon enough for his wife. That is when he goes back to work on his TBS show. Sadly, for his wife, he is doing it from their home.
In LA, we are all stuck at home, but Conan O’Brien decided to go out. That turned out to be a bad idea for him.
He asked a man, who was across the street from him, if he wanted to do a selfie with late night longest host. The stranger said no. Why? Because he does not know who Conan is.
As if Conan’s wife does not have enough problems with her husband being home all the time, now she also has to deal with her delirious lover (another thing we need to feel sorry for her about) being sad that no one knows who he is. Well not everyone, I would recognize him anywhere. How many tall redheads with his hairstyle are there? None, for a good reason!
Thankfully, Conan will be back doing his TBS show on March 30th via iPhone. Sadly for his wife, he will be doing the show from his home. She just can’t get rid of him until April 19th, at least.
Come March 30th, Conan will be back doing his show on TBS. However, there will be no audience, no crew, and no cameraperson. Instead, it will be filmed with an iPhone and guests will call in via video chat.
Conan said, “The quality of my work will not go down because technically that’s not possible.” Who knows it might get better?
I knew he was going delirious, at least he came up with a solution before his wife called a 5150 on him.
I expect the other talk show hosts to follow suit. They will bring back their shows with everyone working from home while bringing laughter in our bedrooms.
The last joke from me (which I know is not funny), he should call these remote episodes Conanavirus.
UPDATE: Jimmy Fallon did most of The Tonight Show from his house tonight and interviewed Lin-Manuel Miranda.
Conan O’Brien, like most of the world, is on lockdown, and the late night talk show host is not doing that well with all of this time on his hands.
Therefore, he decided to do one of the handwashing tutorials. Since it is St. Patrick’s Day, he sang Danny Boy while Guiness, Jameson’s Whiskey, and Lucky Charms were poured on to his hands.
As he was wrapping up the Irish melody, he declared, “It’s just too stupid.”
I don’t think it as much as stupid as delirium kicking in. What I think is stupid is that Conan wasted all of those hard to find items he is going to need to get his family through the self-quarantine.
One night, his kids are going to want Lucky Charms and there will be no magically delicious for them. He won’t be able to go to the store because even the ones that are 24 hours have cut their hours. Therefore, his kids will cry, and his wife will want some beer or whiskey to drown out their whining. Sadly, there is none because he used all for this. That is why they say there will be divorces in nine months.
