Nate Bargatze on Conan, “Have you ever been yelled at by a clown? I have.”

Nate Bargatze aka The Sniper was the guest comedian on Conan last night and he instantly settled into his rhythm of great and hilarious storytelling about his family and friends. Retelling the story about how his father’s occupation being a clown growing up. It also spawned the title of his excellent 2012 release, Yelled At By a Clown. Nate also told a great story about his comedian friend Louis J. Gomez, who sometimes can have a short fuse.

This is purely speculation, but I wouldn’t be surprised if Gomez is mad that Bargatze forgot the “J.” when he was name dropped on national television. I also have a feeling that Bargatze left the initial out on purpose because it’s a running joke amongst the group of comedian friends that appear on the You Know What Dude, Hammerfisting, and Legion of Skanks podcasts. These are burning questions I have! Someone help answer them!

Earthquake on Conan, “How long can you be a reverend without a church?”

Comedian Earthquake stopped by Conan last night to kick off a week of shows the late night guest would be doing in Atlanta’s Tabernacle theater. Earthquake dished some real talk about the enthusiasm many of us have when voting in a Presidential race. We often know who is running for the large part of the ticket, but sometimes have no clue about all the others.

Ian Edwards on Conan, “I like Jewish people because they named their holidays after black people”

Ian Edwards dropped by Conan last night for a tight five. We caught Edwards a few weeks back at the Patrice O’Neal benefit show in NYC. He was hilarious then and he’s hilarious in this sketch. Notice a trend?

Mark Normand on Conan, “You’re allowed to hate girls as a kid but it’s really the only group you can” (video)

New York comedian Mark Normand made his late night television debut on Conan. Host Conan O’Brien declared him hungover before his spot, which is a weird way to intro someone. But I think perhaps fellow NYC comedian Dan Soder had the best astute observation about Normand, homing his favorite jacket makes a second TV appearance.

Conan brings his bold and experimental approach to TV with “Occupy Conan”

This fantastic episode of Conan was cut and edited together from hundreds of viewer submissions and input. What the genesis and Team CoCo/Conan O’Brien did was release a full episode online and have fans use their imaginations to recreate the segment. The results are amazing.

If you think you are only going to see a bunch of bad red hair impressions, well, you’re right, yet you are also wrong. This episode includes funny appearances from Tina Fey, Joel McHale, Nick Offerman, Seth Green, Adam Scott, Fred Armisen, Jack McBrayer, and Jesse Tyler Ferguson plays Conan O’Brien while Jim Rash pulls off a killer Andy Richter!

“… [we] create this bold, experimental and potentially disorienting show we call, occupy conan.” – Conan O’Brien

When Conan wraps up his introduction to the unique show, he sums up the entire episode with a quote that his great grandpa always said… “whatev’s.” This quote also sums up the reason why we love Conan so much. He pushes the limits, involves his fans, finds new avenues to explore comedy all while sticking to his underlining theme… “whatev’s.” Keep going Conan and keep kicking ass Team Coco!
