Nick Offerman reads tweets from Katy Perry and Amanda Bynes -- VIDEO

Parks and Recreation got renewed yesterday! If you’ve finished your celebratory dancing (or re-watching old episodes on Netflix), it’s time to check out Conan‘s “Nick Offerman From Parks and Recreation Reads Tweets From Young Female Celebrities.” It’s a segment that has been done many, many, times before, but remember, we’re celebrating. So keep on chopping wood and sawing in your spare time, Offerman, and we’ll see you next fall as the meat-loving (dad-to-be?) Ron Swanson.

Watch the video below. The best tweet has to be Jennette McCurdy’s  ”Sometimes when I’m bored, I look at pictures of frozen yogurt.”

Ke$ha's breasts have written some of her favorite songs -- VIDEO

We imagine last night was a far cry from the White House Correspondents’ Dinner for Conan. Remember when Ke$ha talked about having sex with a ghost on his show? Well, her return appearance last night was equally amazing. Decked out in a dress covered in tiny Conan faces, Ke$ha talked about how she gets her inspiration for songs. She simply leans over the piano and lets her breasts tickle the ivories.

”It started as, like, a joke, but then it seriously has produced some of my favorite songs on my new record,” the singer/songwriter said.

Conan absolutely loved it and you could tell he wanted to do about 10 minutes of material on the subject. He settled with imitating what the process must look like and talking like he was one of Ke$ha’s breasts.

”Although you’re laughing, it’s a very serious process for me,” Ke$ha told Conan, although she seemed in on the whole joke.

Late-night hosts address Boston tragedy -- VIDEO

In the wake of the tragic events in Boston yesterday, some people were ready to relax with their favorite late-night hosts and some were not. The hosts who aired new shows last night had the difficult task of trying to address the tragedy in a honest and passionate way while also trying to entertain people who just wanted a laugh. Conan O’Brien started his show by saying his ”thoughts and prayers” are with the people of Boston, his hometown. ”That said, it is our job to do a show. We’re gonna try to entertain you the very best we can, which given our track record gives you people a 20 percent chance of having a good show tonight.”

Less than one year from now, Jimmy Fallon will inherit late night TV’s most highly-coveted showcase: The Tonight Show.

Though the road to yesterday’s official announcement was a bumpy one — ousted host Jay Leno’s been joking about being knifed in the back by the snakes at NBC for weeks — the dust now seems to have cleared. Everyone from ABC rival Jimmy Kimmel to ex-Tonight Show host Conan O’Brien has issued congratulations to Fallon, a performer who seems to personify amiability. Even Leno tempered his barbs last night, calling Fallon “a hell of a guy” and saying that he’ll do “a great job.”

So now that the succession plan is settled, we can start to focus on what’s really important: which guy we’ll be watching come February 2014.  READ FULL STORY »

Paul Rudd's 'Anchorman 2' clip inspired by classic '80's kids movie -- VIDEO

Rocking the familiar mustache and 1970’s shag of his Anchorman character Brian Fantana, Paul Rudd took a break from filming the sequel yesterday in Atlanta and popped by Conan O’Brien’s visiting TBS talk show.

Asked about the hotly anticipated Anchorman: The Legend Continues, Rudd surprised O’Brien with a special treat: an exclusive clip from the film. If that seems too good to be true — given that the top-secret sequel is, as O’Brien said, on “lock down” — it’s because it is. Only one of the following three words turned out to be true: “exclusive Anchorman clip.” Check it out below.

Merle Dixon returns... for a joke on 'Conan' -- VIDEO

The Walking Dead’s Merle Dixon (Michael Rooker) and Carol Peletier (Melissa McBride) took refuge from walkers in the Conan audience last night. However, things got violent pretty fast. Let’s just say Merle is not too fond of Andy Richter’s comedic timing. The audience loved the whole bit and Rooker really went for it. He even grabbed a woman out of the audience and shouted, ”I finally got me some action,” as he ran out of the theater.

Nina Dobrev beats up the boys, then shares her mom's sex-scene advice -- VIDEO

Nina Dobrev stopped by Conan last night and proved that vampire or not, she can kick some butt.

Conan baited her by playfully saying, “I don’t mean to say the wrong thing, but you’re obviously very attractive, very talented, I just don’t see you as someone who’s like kicking ass.”

That’s when Nina called on four stuntmen — who, you know, she just has hanging around with her — to teach Conan that she’s got what it takes to play an action hero.

Ben McKenzie talks the one similarity between 'The OC' and 'Southland' -- VIDEO

Some might think that Ben McKenzie left The OC behind when he swapped his wife beater and fists of fury for a police uniform and a gun. But believe it or not, McKenzie’s small-screen career choices have one little thing in common: prison.

Last night, McKenzie told Conan the story of a surprising fan encounter. While shooting season 1 of the cop drama Southland, McKenzie was on location when a real-life (presumably ex) gang member told him that he liked his work. Apparently, on Thursday nights at 9 p.m. in the joint, the cell blocks all sang the same tune: “California, California, here we cooommeee.”

The lesson here: Even convicts couldn’t resist the charm of the Cohen family. Watch below: READ FULL STORY »

Jennifer Lawrence talks John Stamos, Puppy Bowl, and beer on 'Conan' -- VIDEO

Jennifer Lawrence is just like you: She’s open about a crush on John Stamos from his Full House days, and thinks the Puppy Bowl is “genius.”

Lawrence continued her quest for total talk show domination last night on Conan, with an appearance that started off on a gushing note. “I’ve been watching the show for 15 years and I’m 22 years old,” she said. “The producer said to me, ‘Andy Richter’s going to hug you,’ and I started tearing up.” She explained that prior to this interview, O’Brien had swung by her dressing room and she had forced him to do many of his signature bits for her, including the String Dance.

The love was clearly mutual. While O’Brien praised her performance in Silver Linings Playbook, he also had fun teasing the star, who could more than keep up with him. While talking about a Super Bowl party she threw for her friends at her house, she explained that her plans were more about a little event that happened prior to the big game. “It was just a lot of drinking, I guess,” Lawrence said of the party. “We watched the Puppy Bowl…. It’s just puppies! And then they have a little camera in the water bowl — it’s genius!” READ FULL STORY »
