Conan Makes Fun of Balloon Boy

Hollywood Grind — Sat, 17 Oct 2009 17:51:57 +0000

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?

Ajay Bhatt co-creator of USB Port on Conan

Hollywood Grind — Sat, 10 Oct 2009 21:57:07 +0000

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 Flunked Her Driving Test

Hollywood Grind — Fri, 09 Oct 2009 08:11:53 +0000

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.

Conan Can Barely Record a Promo Thanks to Norm Macdonald

Hollywood Grind — Sat, 13 Jun 2009 22:33:22 +0000

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 Takes the Train

Hollywood Grind — Wed, 08 Apr 2009 22:58:33 +0000

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.

Andy Richter to Join Conan O’Brien on The Tonight Show

Hollywood Grind — Wed, 25 Feb 2009 20:23:04 +0000

From 1993 to 2000 Andy Richter was a sidekick on the Late Night with Conan O’Brien, but then Andy left to pursue his acting career. At the time Andy joked he wanted to become a doctor.

Starting on June 1 Andy will be back as the announcer and cohost for The Tonight Show along side Conan. An excited Conan said:

“Andy is one of the funniest people I know, and we’ve maintained a close friendship since he left Late Night. We have a proven chemistry that will be an incredible asset to The Tonight Show.”

It looks like this is going to be a great new Tonight Show. We can’t wait to see it.

Alec Baldwin Mocks Joaquin Phoenix on Conan O’Brien

Hollywood Grind — Tue, 17 Feb 2009 18:08:50 +0000

On Conan O’Brien Thursday, Alec Baldwin imitated the bizarre interview Joaquin Phoenix did on David Letterman.

We’re not so much into making fun of Joaquin, and more concerned that he’ll be okay. We are hoping Joaquin is only acting for the "documentary" he’s filming.

Jimmy Fallon Late Night Online

Hollywood Grind — Mon, 21 Jul 2008 15:14:20 +0000

Jimmy Fallon is set to replace Conan O’Brien on Late Night, and O’Brien will replace Jay Leno on the Tonight Show. To garner more interest, NBC will debut Fallon line several months before the show starts.

NBC tried to retain Leno, but he said he’ll find a job elsewhere. It doesn’t appear Leno, who is the king of late night television, was ready to retire. NBC has made a lot of bad business decisions, so we’ll have to wait and see how Fallon and O’Brien do.

Jimmy Fallon Confirmed as New Late Night Host

Hollywood Grind — Mon, 12 May 2008 06:41:18 +0000

Jimmy Fallon will be officially named as the new host of Late Night when Conan O’Brien takes over the Tonight Show after Jay Leno steps down. A news conference is planned for Monday to make the announcement.

Fallon is a funny guy, but I still can’t see him succeeding as a late night host. Surprise me Fallon!

Aiken to Come Out

Hollywood Grind — Wed, 30 Apr 2008 02:56:01 +0000

Clay Aiken was on QVC to promote his CD. He even sang his new single The Real Me. The entire song screams of a gay man who is aching to come out. If Clay had just been open about his sexuality he may have become a bigger star, and instead of appearing on QVC, he could have been promoting his album on David Letterman, Jay Leno, and Conan O’Brien.
