Ewoks are one of the most adored things about Star Wars, but not everyone loves these cuddly creatures. When Conan O’Brien’s studio was infested with them, he called in an exterminator to kill them all. Once they started spraying, the little guys started hitting the floor like crazy. So much so, it broke my heart. I would’ve taken in a few of them, he didn’t have to murder them like that. Who else, besides the TBS host, doesn’t love the mammaloid bipeds?
I don’t think I will ever be able to watch Conan again. Well, at least not until tomorrow night at 11p when he has on the whole cast from Star Wars: The Force Awakens. Hopefully, Chewbacca will confront him on this mass killing.

Late night TV has its own take on Chanukah and yesterday Conan and Jimmy Kimmel Live brought back their Festival of Lights favorites.
After a year off, the Human Centipede Menorah was back and Sarah Silverman lit the fifth candle. Before she lit the candle, she got the menorah all lit up by the feeding the head some greasy Latkes and poopy inducing coffee. That made everyone behind him growl like their stomachs. Because nothing says Chanukah like a bunch of people attached a$$ to head.
Well maybe the Chanucorn, a Gospel Choir and the Dreidel Dog sing it even louder than that. Gary Greenberg brought back Chanukah’s favorite character with a twist, or maybe that was just the Dreidel Dog spinning his way into our hearts.
Either way Chanukah is lot more special this year thanks to late night keeping the holiday alive with characters that future generations can enjoy. When was the last time the Jewish holiday got a much needed up upgrade? Not since the oil stayed lit for 8 whole days and nights. So these two additions are very much appreciated.
It’s a Chanukah miracle!
There is thing called Video News Releases where PR companies send out videos with a news release that can be written as a scripts to local news stations. On busy days, producers will take that VNR and use it on their show without changing any of the words that were handed to them. Recently, there was a VNR that one or two or ten stations around the country used and Conan O’Brien compiled their broadcasts into one mashed up news segment.
And now we will have, “It’s OK! You can admit it. If you’ve a bought an item or two or ten for yourself,” forever etched into our memories. Dang you, Conan!
Chris Pratt and Anna Faris are some of today’s biggest actors, so is their son following in their footsteps. If the Scary Movie heroine has her way, he will. She is already teaching her 3 year old how to act.
Yesterday, when she was on Conan, the proud mama brought a video along of her son showing off his acting skills. He is going to be a star just like his parents! He just needs to stay away from horror movies until he perfects being scared.
Chris D’Elia was on Conan tonight and the Undateable star couldn’t keep his legs shut. So the TBS late night host told him to close them because no one wants to see that.
It wasn’t only that he was sitting there with his crotch exposed, he was also looking into the camera and checking it out. So weird.
Thankfully, Andy Richter had a pretty good solution. Just cover it up with a vase full of flowers. And now everything is coming up smelling roses!
