We Don't Need No Stinking Writers

Conan O'Brien aired his first show last week without writers and let me just say he doesn't need writers at all! Well, actually this isn’t true. Conan led off his monologue talking about the writers strike and about how he grew a beard to show support for the writers. The rest of his monologue consisted of the camera slow motion panning over his beard, while his band sang a song they made up called “strike bread.” Then Conan proceeded to his desk and tried to see how long he could keep his wedding ring spinning. His record was 41 seconds, he only got to 36. When someone from the audience yelled, “spin it again!” Conan replied “oh there will be time”, and proceeded to kick up his feet and do nothing for about 30 seconds. It was ridiculous and hilarious but time will only allow Conan’s hilarious improve to go so far. Enjoy this unique brand of comedy while you still can, because it led to this gem:
