I love Conan O’Brien. I think he’s awesome. He’s smart (he went to Ha-vid), very funny, and there’s something sexy about him. I think I find him sexy because he is smart and funny (and rich). Anybody else love him? ---

He is, and his show is wondefully creative. Hopefully he’ll be around a while. What the hell did happen to Dudes A Plenty, anyway? BTW, welcome to the boards. Comments about TV go in the “Cafe Society” forum; this’ll most likely be moved there soon. > [@](#): > > Cafe Society > Our salon for art, drama, literature, movies, music – all the artistic disciplines – if it’s about art or entertainment, it goes here. That’s from the forum description page. (Not to pick on the newbie, just saving the mods another cut/paste job.) ---

For some reason I had a stray idea that **dudes a plenty** actually _is_ O’Brien drumming up praise. Naahhh. Chalk that up to paranoia and cynicism. Yeah, I think he’s funny. Still doing “In the year 2000,” but it’s still zingy. Most people can’t pull off the self-depreciation when a joke flops as consistantly as he does, but he keeps it just long enough in each instance to not be grating. ---

Fear his hair! I love his Jesus statuettes, especially the Black Jack one. I miss Andy though. Do you think Conan will make a guest appearance on his show? ---

I believe it’s spelled “dudez aplenti” I love Triumph. There was a thread here about how hilarious his visiting the Star Wars fans and just ragging on them was. Because I stay up so late I watch it a lot, and I think he could have eclipsed Letterman in terms of funniness, having surpassed Leno as soon as his show came on the air. ---

jjtm, thanks for the advice, that this should be in cafe society. I was going to put it there first, then I thought it was too low-brow. I didn’t know if cafe society was all fancy kind of stuff. Triumph is the best! The Star Wars thing was hilarious. I also love when he does that via satellite interview thing with the screen behind him. That’s always funny as hell. ---
