    I realized of my stupid decision of eating a Greek yogurt with walnuts while watching this when Downey started miming the guy masturbating to the alien autopsy photos. But when Conan, Sona, and Blay in the background lose it, I feared for my life because I almost choked.

    The reverence Conan has for Jim is very apparent. If this is the first time you’re hearing his name, look him up and realize how much he’s contributed to comedy. Living legend.

    I hope Jim is on a health kick because he is very thin. Almost sickly thin. He could be sick, but I hope it’s just a guy late in life eating well and exercising.

    Being in that weekend update writer’s room would have been one the funniest experiences EVER.

    No. Disagree. The laugh that comes with a clap is the height of SNL laughs. Stevie Nicks Burrito Roundup had that.

    Love it when Conan chats to old TV heads. He’s the only talk show host that’s charming and intelligent enough to really have great conversations.

    Can’t imagine Jimmy Fallon doing anything like this at all.

    Well done on the timing with the strike of this episode. Jim is amazing and conveying the importance of writers right now to people who might not be aware is pretty cool. That resonates here I think.

    Norm admired Bob Hope who would also stare right after a joke

    I miss Norm so much. I have a cat called Norman Macdonald and before Norm died and back when I had an Instagram, Norm would click the little heart button whenever I posted a photo of him, that was the extent of our interactions, and it was lovely.
