TBS has released a third hair-centric short promo for Conan O’Brien’s new late night show, which premieres in November. Promo 2 featured a Gumby-esque Conan figure creating a large-scale “painting” of his signature ginger coif (and weirded me out a little because the figure’s hair was more Crayola Yellow Orange than orange), and Promo 1 treated his hair like a construction site in what was surely a sendup to Witness. Watch Promo 3 after the break.
Meanwhile, if Conan wins an Emmy for The Tonight Show during Sunday’s Primetime Emmys telecast, he’s allowed to say anything he wants — except if it’s inaccurate or scornful towards NBC, according to THR.
And in case you missed it, here’s the “list of people who made it all possible” video that played at the Creative Arts Emmys before The Tonight Show with Conan O’Brien lost to The Colbert Report. They’re all unemployed! I hope that one guy gets the job at Dunkin’ Donuts.
Do you ever wish your job was to stand on a spinning platform showing off a giant’s mane?

Definitely disappointed that we won’t get the short, taped bits from each of the nominees for “Variety/Comedy Show Writing” at this Sunday’s Emmys. Those are always a highlight.
Oh well, there’s always YouTube. (Which I’m sure the TV industry LOVES hearing.)
Conan’s a smart guy. If he wins on Sunday and gets to speak, he’ll promote the new show, not dredge up things that can’t be changed. No point in giving the NBC experience any negative attention.
I saw him at one of his concerts and I really wish I could’ve touched his hair. It looks spectacular in person.
This is only vaguely related, and I apologize. But I have to know: Annie, are you doing any sort of Emmy coverage? Like… a live blog, perhaps? *bats eyelashes*
That monkey reel probably wasn’t so hilarious for the two writers Conan canned.
Elaborate, please?
It would be completely sweet if he won and ripped NBC a new cornchute during his speech…on NBC’s telecast. They certainly deserve it. I guess that NBC contractually prohibited that, but Conan’s a really smart dude. He’ll get his point across is a classy and funny way.
E! is showing the Creative Arts ceremony tomorrow from 1-3, hopefully they’ll show all of the writers clips.
