Just like the weekend, the 63rd Primetime Emmys are history. This year's telecast was hosted by Glee's Jane Lynch and aired live on Fox from the Nokia Theater in Los Angeles. Despite Alec Baldwin's last-minute pullout, pretty much every small screen star showed up to celebrate television's biggest night.
Although Anne Hathaway stopped by Conan tonight to promote her new movie, One Day, she spent more time talking about her upcoming role as Catwoman in The Dark Knight Rises. Hathaway said that during filming she almost reached her breaking point because of the aggressive paparazzi tracking her every move, but she coped with the stress by writing a nasty rap song about them. And then she performed it.
Kathy Griffin stopped by the set of Conan this evening and recounted an encounter she had with Michele Bachmann in Washington back in March. After first asking Bachmann if she'd be willing to support a rally to repeal don't ask don't tell, Griffin put the following question to the congresswoman and GOP presidential candidate: "Were you born a bigot or did you just, like, grow into it?" As you'll see in the clip above, Bachmann's response was pretty priceless.
Here's the first trailer for the big Conan the Barbarian reboot. It looks... well, it looks exactly like a Conan the Barbarian movie. So, that's probably a good thing.
After weeks of threats, Will Ferrell finally made good on his promise to shave Conan O'Brien's beard on tonight's episode of Conan. So, how'd it go? Let's just say that Ferrell had a few technical difficulties—and that each of them made the bit even funnier.
On his show tonight, Conan O'Brien announced that he really missed Larry King. His solution? Allow King to host a show from, as the CNN legend put it, the "creepy rafters" above O'Brien's studio. Alas, it didn't take long for both men to get annoyed by the other's presence.
A study has shown that religious people are up to 50% more likely to become obese later in life. Thus, Conan has created a solution that pleases everyone: Fat Jesus—who used to turn the other cheek, but now "turns the other chin."
During a recent questioning during jury selection, Johnny Knoxville had to responded honestly and openly about his previous meetings with the police. After giving us a few stories, we discover that no, he wasn't the kind of juror the courts were looking for.
Surely by now you've seen the video of two baby twins "talking" to each other, but what were they really saying? Conan hired an expert of child linguistics to decipher what they said—who knew babies cared so much about Libya?
When Olivia Munn appeared on Conan, she outed Andy Ricther as a man with gigantic balls. Apparently her first time meeting Andy, he and a friend were discussing their nut-sizes—Andy's are like bean bag chairs—and then she went ahead and asked Paul Giamatti the same.
Skinny jeans are apparently the leading cause of men becoming delusional these days. How? They fit so tight that they push all the blood to the brain, thus putting the man a confused state. Even Andy Richter has fallen prey to the craze.
On a beard-centric Conan, Jake Gyllenhaal dropped by to have a manly discussion about beards and the beard community. Apparently it's not uncommon for people with beards to gravitate towards each other and have a giant guffaw over the ruggedness of each others beards.
As someone who doesn't watch the WWE, I find it very hard to see Mike "The Miz" Mizanin as anyone other than that guy on The Real World: Back to New York. Regardless, he appeared on Conan and brought a lot of attitude.
After being spotted by the paparazzi wearing some kind of animal on her head, Vanessa Hudgens brought the very-same headwear for Conan to wear. Who wore it best? Conan, of course!
The Office's Ellie Kemper popped up on Conan for an interview in which she told the host how she used be his intern, was too afraid to speak to him, and lived in the same neighborhood that he used to.
On Conan, Eric Stonestreet talked about the many pairs of short-shorts that his character wears on Modern Family. Then, he admitted to stuffing his bike shorts because he's "hung like a small woodland creature."
Last night, one of the co-founders of Twitter, Biz Stone, appeared on Conan on the day that the social-networking service turned five years old. Conan and Biz spoke about Twitter's humble beginnings, Conan's tweets, and how Biz's mother still has no idea what he actually does.
On tonight's episode, Conan O'Brien announced that he was "pretty mad at this Rebecca Black person." Why? Because she ripped him off! According to O'Brien, Black's "Friday" is a total copy of his song, "Thursday." Here's the music video.
Here's a clip from Conan O'Brien Can't Stop, the documentary that followed around Conan in the days just after leaving NBC to the his Legally Prohibited From Being Funny on Television comedy tour.
Between stories of meeting George Lucas and getting caught by paparazzi holding a lot of toilet paper, Conan aired a silly clip of Seth Rogen's recent appearance on a Chinese talk show. It involves lights, lasers, and back-up dancers!
