Many of my childhood beliefs have been shaken, but there’s one that holds firm:
If you suffer a bruise, you show the bruise.
On this Conan and I agree.
O’Brien fell off a water buffalo — of all things — while rehearsing a bit for a visit from animal expert David Mizejewski Tuesday night. Conan hit the stage floor hard…and the bit didn’t make the live show.
But the bruise on his thigh sure did.
Wednesday night Conan dropped trou and displayed the enormous purple souvenir of his not-so-smart ride for all to see. The studio audience. The band. Andy Richter. And oh yeah…
All the folks at home watching on TV.
At first glance you might think, “Geez, Conan — will you stop at nothing to get a laugh?” But I understand that, in this case, it goes beyond comedy –
He suffered the bruise. He shows the bruise.
It’s as simple and as complicated as that.
Team Sicko
See Conan bowl.
See Conan dance?
No.
Conan is kicking one of his writers, right after that same writer hit a strike that helped Team CoCo ultimately beat Chris Hardwick’s Team Nerdist in a bowling challenge.
Apparently Conan hit his writers that night when he was happy, and when he was sad. And when Hardwick commented on the behavior (when he was a guest on Conan this week), O’Brien admitted that he does it all the time. And that the writer “could leave whenever he wanted.”
Nice guy.
I’ve had co-workers in the past who hit for ‘emphasis.’ I can only imagine what it must be like, dealing with a egomaniac boss who thinks he can pop you whenever he wants. And does.
There is nothing funny about that.
