Conan O’Brien last night made fun of Falcon Heene, Balloon Boy, saying he was inside his father’s amateur made cruise missel he launched accidentally. The boy also got the parody treatment in the video below. My favorite is the Venn diagram of Things that should be kept out of reach of children (below), such as firearms and homemade flying saucers.

The sad part in all of this is that there was a priest in South America who floated away on hundreds of helium filled balloons to raise money, except he was found dead days later after they lost track of him. And what about all those kids each year that float away, for real, on balloons every year? Balloon Boy has made this serious topic an inappropriate joke. The media should not be used for such stunts, instead they should be focusing on how much President Obama has not accomplished since he took office. To my surprise the always professional journalists at CNN even stopped covering President Obama to cover Balloon Boy. Will the madness never end?

Conan O’Brien interviewed Ajay Bhatt, the co-creator of the USB Port (universal serial bus) who works for Intel, and pointed out that Ajay was played by an actor in the Intel rock star commercial that ran on television.

As is the late night tradition, Ajay appeared in his own comedy parody of the Intel ad, which I thought was better.

On a side note, we like Ajay’s approach that easier is better when it comes to computing.

Now if computer manufacturers would only put quad eSATA ports next to the quad USB ports we’d be in heaven.

Selena Gomez (17) announced on Conan O’Brien that she failed her California driver’s test.

When I took that California driver’s license test it was really hard. I had to study for a solid 5 minutes.

While Conan O’Brien tries to record promos for local news stations Norm Macdonald distracted Conan so much he could barely get through it.

Have you watched Conan since he took over The Tonight Show?

Conan O’Brien took the train at Griffith Park in Los Angeles yesterday.

I hope he wasn’t trying to get to work on that train.
