This is a few days old now, but screw you buddy, I was doing stuff this weekend. Following up on the amazing overlay last week of Conan's new Tonight Show monologue backdrop with Mario screens, here's the predictable reference to it on Friday's show. It could've been funnier, but it's nice to see them reacting to an internet meme. This also gives me the chance to point out again that he's been awesome on the Tonight Show so far and you should really be watching it. I doubt Leno would have done this. And if he had, it would have sucked. Just like he sucks for trying to ruin network television. Fuck you, Leno.

The Tonight Show with Super Mario
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.
