Hahahahahaha! Love it! Telling those kinds of jokes requires a certain type of technique, and not all comedians have it! He certainly does!

It also takes a guy of O’Brians talents to be the “straight Man.” He is the only Late-Night Host that I enjoyed since Carson.

Norm was a Master no doubt.
If he was still around I think he would be a good writer for The Gutfeld Show.

I must say, I don’t watch any of those things, and haven’t for decades. But I will say, I don’t know squat about Conan O’Brien...his politics or anything.

So...I have to think that has to count for something from a total ignorance of what O’Brien is about. Because I know damn well what the OTHER hosts are all about, even if I ignore them just as much.

“Turns out an NBC exec (Don Ohlmeyer) was a personal friend of OJ’s-to the point where he supposedly threw the jury a party after they acquitted. Ohlmeyer fired the writer, too. He also tried to blacklist Norm MacDonald from appearing on NBC’s late night shows.”

That’s pretty petty. No sense of humor on the left, only hate and spite.
