You don’t have to be smart and smarter to know that Jim Carrey and Jeff Daniels have a special bond after making Dumb and Dumber. Not so special because Daniels is in town and he did not call his best friend. What is Carrey going to do about that? He decided to crash his friend’s interview on Conan and let him know that he knows is in Burbank on his neighbor’s talk show.
At that point, Conan O’Brien lost control of his TBS show and it was well worth it. That was the perfect mix of humor, friendship and reminiscing for them and us. I cannot wipe the smile off my face. It is almost as big as the first time I saw Harry and Lloyd together.
I am off to watch Dumb and Dumber again and then I will binge The Looney Tower on Netflix. Who doesn’t love a good comedy?
In other words, I gave you little hints about the interview without telling you all about it.
Conan O’Brien has done a lot of foolish things in his career and the TBS host thought he had a chance of beating Magic Johnson in a game of HORSE. How did he do? It was a slam dunk for the NBA legend. When it comes to the host, well let’s just they probably turned him into glue after this game. Especially since his legs are the same color as Elmer’s Glue, whiter than white.
Talking about white, Conan idolized Larry Bird when he was younger and he found a way to include him the game. He made a mask of the Celtics player and wore it for it good luck. It worked because he actually got the basketball to go through the hoop. Since it worked for him, Magic thought he would do the same. The Great White Hope worked his magic on Magic too. Now I need some magic to get that image out of my head. How weird did he look with a white face? Almost as weird as Conan with his white face. That joke didn’t work.
Oh and now I am craving Jack in the Box, does anyone know the app for Doordash?
Conan O’Brien decided to treat his employee to a nice bonus and Jordan Schlansky could not even care that his boss is flying them to Italy in a few hours. If they are going to do a whole hour of television in a foreign country, they have to plan for it. That planning is going to go as bad as you would expect it to go.
But there was one huge milestone that finally happened after 23 long years together. The very stoic Jordan Schlansky finally broke out in laughter. That’s right, after nearly two decades, he finally cracked a smile. What got him to do it? A simple staring contest which he lost by smiling like the Joker.
That comment spurred something in Schlansky and he went off on Conan’s face in return. Well, he would not say what he did not like about it until the TBS host threatened that they were not going to Italy anymore. Therefore, what does he not like about that mug? Conan’s skin is dry. Something, we the viewer, don’t see, but now we will be on the lookout for it.
Another thing we need to be on a lookout for is their special episode of Conan Without Borders where they got to Italia on April 11th. I really pray it is a backdoor pilot for a TBS comedy with these men as the stars. I cannot remember the last time I laughed so hard because I was doing spit takes and I was not even drinking anything at the time. They are just so hilarious together. Don’t you just love the way they play with off of each other?
For years, Burt Reynolds has said that Sally Field is the one that got away. Yesterday, when he was on Conan, the host wanted to know if they still communicate. The Bandit told him, “I try. She doesn’t seem to be as interested as I am to have a relationship, start up again.” Then the actor added, “I understand that,” and the audience gave him a sad ahhh.
He admits that he still sends her notes and postcards to no avail. Now he is going to try to send her money. Will it work? Does not sound like it.
Personally, I am more surprised that she is single than her rejecting Reynolds now. I am shocked that no one is with her now. I would love to see her with Jack Nicholson, the good girl with the very bad boy! They would be so cute together!
Burt Reynolds was on Conan O’Brien’s talk show tonight and the latter wanted to know everything about the former. For example, he wanted to know more about that time the Bandit took it all off for Cosmo.
Back in 1972, he shocked and delighted the world by being the first huge male celebrity to pose naked for a Cosmopolitan centerfold and 45 years later we are still talking about. Was he nervous to do that? The last movie star told the TBS host that he got plastered for the shoot.
When he got there, the photographer told him about the first scene they were going to shoot for that day. Reynolds thought he was only being photographed nude on the couch. Eventually he decided to go with and told the photographer that he was going to take off his robe and the man behind the camera should roll with it.
When it was finally time, off came the robe and on went his hands over his longest yard. At that moment, he shared with us his realization, “I’m sad to say, I have very small hands.”
Thanks to a 2016 presidential debate, we all know what that means. Or should I say used to mean?
