Conan, Jay, Dave, Jimmy and Jimmy: The Top 10 Late Night Highlights of the Year
8. Conan O'Brien's Crippling NBC Take Down Monologue
Early in January, shortly after Conan O'Brien elected to leave NBC after being forced out of his time slot, the host took off his gloves and delivered one of the most vicious monologues in late night. Unfortunately, video of this Jan. 11 episode has disappeared from the internet -- shocking -- but herewith, a few of the options Conan cited for his post-NBC career.
· Host The Tonight Show at 12:05
· Star in a Lifetime original movie about a woman trapped in an abusive relationship with her network
· Go to ABC and star in a male redhead version of Cougar Town called Redwolf Village
· Host a show on B.E.T. called White All Night
· Move to FOX and follow their hit 24 with a new show called 24:05
· Televise my own colonoscopy on the Bravo Channel in a show called Project Funway
· Convince NBC to let me keep this time slot if I can gain 10 pounds of chin
· Andy [Richter] and I will become a team of wacky morning deejays called "Big Red and the Booger"
· Pretend to put my son in a giant foil balloon, then sit back and watch the offers come pouring in!
· Perform the show live every night from Zanies Comedy Club at 7:30 and 9:30. (Half-price drinks if you tell 'em "Coco" sent ya!)
· Bring sanity back to NBC by hiring Gary Busey as head of programming
· Leave television altogether, and work in a classier business with better people, like hardcore porn.
(Some video from that monologue can be found here.)
