Ben Folds and Regina Spektor


Here's Ben Folds and Golem favorite Regina Spektor on last night's Conan.

Keep an eye on the trombone player - he just might be a regular from Saturday Night Live in disguise.

Note: I have a feeling NBC might pull this video, so you might want to watch it in a hurry.

Helio Castroneves


Dancing with the Stars champion Helio Castroneves faces 35 years in prison for conspiracy and tax evasion charges.

Let's see if he can tap dance his way out of this one!

The Guy Who Sounds Like David Brent


Here's a guy who acts a little bit like Ricky Gervais's character from The Office (UK edition).

Palin Bingo


Some people are so excited to see future-President Palin debate whats-his-name tonight, that they're making a game of it.

Trachtenburg Family Slideshow Players


Here are the Trachtenburg Family Slideshow Players on Conan in early 2003.

I was really impressed with this performance when I originally saw it, but the "Players" have been sadly relegated to cult status since. Luckily, you can catch a lot of their videos on YouTube.

Stephen Colbert


Perhaps feeling Stephen Colbert isn't overexposed enough, Marvel Comics has gone and written him into a Spider-Man comic. (The link also contains pictures from the time "Spidey" met the cast of SNL - the good cast from the 70's - and the time the Avengers met David Letterman. Sadly, it does not contain pictures from any of Johnny Carson's appearances in the 60's Spider-Man comics, but I have them around here somewhere. Stay tuned...)

Lyle the Intern


If you've watched Late Show with David Letterman lately, perhaps you've seen Lyle the Intern - a hilarious character played by comedian Jimmi Simpson.

Here's a clip - the guy's the funniest thing on Letterman since Larry "Bud" Melman.
