  I’m sorry but When Obama did not put his hand over his heart to say the “Pledge Of Allegence” he lost my vote. I’m 51 yrs. old and all of us at my age went to school and that was the first thing we all did before starting class! I strongly feel Obama is un- American. At first, I thought I would never see a woman in the Whitehouse..well now my views have changed. Go Hillary!

  Yeah, Wandamarie, that really has a lot to do w/ Conan. I bet you saw a profile on a dating website, too, huh?

  I heard Conan O’Brien is a lesb!an. And that he’s sad. Did anybody else hear that? Say, from Tim Conway?

  Just gotta say that I’m sad I can’t see these Hulu clips. We Canadians get a big fat error message instead of awesome ew.com content.

  I think Conan is the best late night show around. I love any bit that gets him out of the studio. During the writers strike, he would focus on a staff member and follow them around. It provided some classic moments.

  I like the string dance — overdone? Yes. Still funny? Yeah, especially at 12:40am. I still have a Conon ep with John Krasinski on it; they riff really well off one another. The dry sense of humor gets me every time.

  Anytime Mr. T did In the year 2000 skits. Also the time when he had this skit where he sent stars questions and they sent back their responese. One question was asked to Star Jones about what was her favorite pet as a child, she said lunch.

  I’m a big fan of Crackers the S***-eating duck. I thought all the stuff he did during the writers strike was great. I think I actually preferred the show without writers (I know, it’s a horrible thing to say, but that’s how I feel). And, I totally agree w/ Sadie. I loved when he said “Somebody told me you went to Seattle” and John said “That was me. I just told you.” Or something to that affect. That was a good moment.

  I second FabK on the strike episodes. They made for awesome television. Here are my top 5 Conan moments in no particular order:
  1) The Jim Carrey interview (including his ‘In The Year 2000′)
  2) Triumph at the Star Wars Episode 1 opening
  3) The interview w/ Jim Cramer (from CNBC’s Mad Money)
  4) Conan playing ‘Creep’ & ‘Sabotage’ on Rock Band
  5) The whole week the show was in San Francisco (sorry, hometown bias).
  Happy b-day, Consey.

  Two bonus mentions:
  6) John Mayer’s hotel room getting trashed to the soundtrack of Motorhead’s ‘Ace of Spades’
  7) Conan spending time backstage w/ Slipknot (sorry, maggot bias)
