The above image showing the similarities between Conan's new monologue backdrop on his Tonight Show gig and various screens pulled from a variety of Super Mario games has been making the rounds today, so I figured I'd post it.
As a fan of both video games and television I figured this was a good opportunity to pay homage to the intersection of the two things which most contribute to making sure I can't fit into any of my old pants. Probably just a cool coincidence, but it would be neat if someone on Conan's staff saw this and they make reference to it on the show, wouldn't surprise me at all. (update: Apparently I had the right idea, looks like they might do it tonight: from the Twitter of a Tonight Show staffer)
On a more serious note, I'm not usually a viewer of the late night shows other than Stewart and Colbert, but I've always enjoyed Conan when I've saw him on Late Night and have caught all three shows so far. He's really doing a phenomenal job, I highly suggest checking it out. Might get some of the bad taste out of your mouth for when Jay Leno comes back on at 10 and begins his attempt to ruin network television. Fuck you, Leno.

you should check it out. The first few episodes were very watchable.
