Pawn jockey

In his 20+ years of hosting late night talk shows, Conan O'Brien has amassed quite a collection of props from bits, as well as fan art sent to him. Conan figured it was about time he started making a bit of scratch off this junk so he took some of the pieces to a pawn shop. Check out his adventure there below:

Ride Conan Ride

If you enjoyed Ride Along this weekend (and based on the record breaking box office many of you did), then perhaps you might enjoy some more antics from Kevin Hart and Ice Cube. They did a remote piece with Conan for his show a couple of months ago as the three of them drove around LA. Enjoy!

What a doll

While you never know what to expect when Conan goes on a "remote shoot", you can always guarantee it'll yield a lot of laughs. His most recent adventure, which had him taking a trip to the American Girl store was no different. Check it out.

Pranks for the memories

Whenever Paul Rudd visits Conan O'Brien's talk show, you can expect that he will show a clip from the hilariously bad 1980s film, Mac and Me instead of a scene from his own film. The beauty is that the joke never gets old. At least one other person agrees and has created a compilation of the various times he has done this to Conan over the past 10 years. I no doubt look for him to do it once again if he visits Conan in the next couple of weeks to plug Anchorman 2

From EW.com:

Top-rated late-night host Jay Leno may be in danger of losing his job. But his modestly rated former Tonight Show rival Conan O’Brien just got a renewal on TBS.

The cable network has renewed Conan through 2015, adding another year onto the show’s current deal (which originally expired in April of 2014).

Conan averages 906,000 viewers per episode. TBS points out the show averages a younger median age (38) than any late-night talk show. “When we invited Conan O’Brien to come to TBS, we knew he would bring with him a passionately loyal following of young adults,” said Michael Wright, president, head of programming for TBS. “Conan and his colleagues at Team Coco have gone far beyond that by making Conan the top late-night brand in the digital arena. We are proud to extend our relationship with Conan as he continues to forge the future of late night. I just wish we didn’t decide to tell him on April Fools’ Day.”

Loco Coco

Thanks to The Big Bang Theory reruns as its lead-in, Conan has seen improved ratings on TBS the past few months. Whether buoyed by those numbers or just finally finding its creative groove, I've felt the show has consistently improved recently and has provided some great comedy moments. Here are just a pair from the past week that I particularly enjoyed.

I'm in a glass case of emotion!!

Great Odin's Raven...could it be? It appears an Anchorman sequel will finally happen. Here's Will Ferell as Ron Burgundy making the huge announcement on Conan Wednesday night.

Triumph-ant return

For the first time since coming to TBS, Conan O'Brien's old pal Triumph the Insult Comic Dog stopped by and once again brought the funny. This time it involved talking with people from the Occupy Wall St. movement. Any time you can get that dog around delusional, socially awkward individuals it is comedy gold. You can watch the segment in its entirety below. On a side note, all last week Conan took his show to New York and the contrast in his show was vast. I'm not a big fan of New York City in general, but the people who live there are so much better at being audience members and totally get Conan's comedy. There was an energy to the shows that has been largely absent ever since Conan went to LA. I know he says he'll stay in LA so that his kids don't have to move, but I wish he would reconsider because NYC gives Coco the mojo that he needs.
