The Super Bowl might not be until Sunday, but two of the opposing players battled it out in a Mortal Kombat tonight on Conan.
The TBS late host invited Seattle Seahwaks Marshawn Lynch and New England Patriots Rob Gronkowski to try out Mortal Kombat X before its release and I hope that Sunday’s game is as bloody and the commercials are as funny.
I don’t get why Marshawn doesn’t do interviews, he came off very personable here. When it comes to Gronk, he can sell any drug!
Finally make sure to watch it all the way until the end to see them all play with their alleged deflated balls and Conan O’Brien’s touchdown dance.
For the last few years Conan O’Brien has done Puppy Conan before the Super Bowl, and up until yesterday they all went off without a hitch. Well yesterday, the true star of the bit was Puppy Andy. First the cute yellow lab wanted to take off his wig and then he fell of the couch, but it was final foul that scored a real touchdown. That’s because when they brought out Puppy Chris Christie, he decided he had to go. When you are a puppy, and you gotta go, you go. So right then and there, the arfdorable dog took a huge dump during the segment. But it gets worse, he tried to eat it. He wasn’t the only one, Puppy Conan and Puppy Tom Brady wanted a sampling too.
Just when you thought that there was nothing they could do to save the day, they brought out Puppy Nicki Minaj in the finals of the fourth quarter. Her costume was super bass, but still it was nothing as compared to the anaconda Puppy Andy left behind.
Even though this bit went to the crapper, I still think it was the sh!t!
You never know what you are going to get when you work with puppies, and this proves why they say that. The best part is, no matter how bad it goes, it makes for a memorable moment that people will be talking about until Puppy Conan V. Which I hope they do!!!
Drew Brees was on Conan tonight and Conan O’Brien wanted to see if the quarterback could recognize a football if it was deflated or not. The New Orleans Saint was up to challenge. The first ball he was given was properly inflated and when he was done guessing the weight correctly, he threw it to his fans in the audience. It didn’t go so well, it went wide high. The second ball was a little deflated and the third ball was almost completely airless. When he went to toss that one, it was a perfect throw. So, I guess, you can say the New Patriots perfectly inflated those balls during that game?
Ron Howard spent much of his developing years as an actor, but when he entered his 20’s he wanted to be a director of Independent films. Back in the late ’70s, it was not like it is today in Hollywood and making an Indie film was not as easy to do as it is now. So Richie Cunningham told Conan O’Brien that it dawned on him that Deep Throat cost nothing to make and yet it made deep pockets at the box office; so why doesn’t he do a movie like that to earn the green to make the movies he really wanted to do. Thankfully, that idea only lasted for a few seconds because could you imagine the squeakiest clean actor of the ’60s and ’70s doing a porno? Oh wait, I found my thrills!
Actually, let’s look at the titles of the movies he directed and see which ones could also be considered names for films in Adult Entertainment also. There’s Night Shirt, Splash, Cocoon, Gung Ho, Willow, Backdraft, Far and Away, Apollo 13, How the Grinch Stole Christmas, A Beautiful Mind, The Da Vinci Code, Angels and Demons, The Dilemma and Rush. So in a way, it was like he did go into porn without going into it.
Conan O’Brien’s IT guru Chris Hayes loves Taco Bell, so the TBS late night host did something very special for him. He took him to their fast food headquarters down in Irvine, Ca. Together the two of them got the VIP tour, got to watch people try out new menu items, then they got to try them out for themselves and finally they made their own special treat.
While that might not sound too caliente, whenever the red head gets out of the studio it is always an adventure. This one made everyone who spent the day with him want to make a run for the border. But it made me say, “Yo quiero mas Taco Bell y Conan O’Brien!” That and I can’t wait to try that Quesalupa.
