Late Night with Conan O'Brien 10th Anniversary Special

Summary: That electric chemistry!!
Review: Ok, now I really enjoy Leno & Letterman but they're so textbook and oldschool. Conan O'Brien is the next generation of talk show hosts. Unlike his predecessors, Conan dares to step outside the box of routine stand-up bits. Even when a joke fails he still have you doubled over with painful laughter and his improv on the moment dialogue will have you screaming. The extras on the DVD are classic and Andy Richter is fun to watch with Conan. I'm really looking forward to watching him on the Tonight Show. He's the perfect candidate to take the throne. He's young, active, and somehow I just can't put him into a category of regular talkshow host. And to Nicole "Jem"- I can tell you're boring and love regualrity just from your review. I would not like to know someone like you I can already tell. Thanks Conan for cheering me up when I seemed uncheerable. Here's to 10 more baby!!!

Summary: Tesh, Vigoda, And Shatner On A Bicycle Built For Three!
Review: Unlike the few remaining people who have not warmed to Conan O'Brien, I have found him to be the most innovative and consistently amusing host on late night television from the beginning of his network run. This show is a 90 minute special taped in New York on the occasion of his tenth anniversary show, and features many guests and "greatest hits" clips from the first ten years. I was particularly amused by the Andy Richter cameo and the fitting tribute to Conan of having John Tesh, Abe Vigoda, and William Shatner ride a bicycle built for three across the stage. I am unsure why that was a fitting tribute, but in context it certainly surprised and amused the audience. (Shatner also pleases the crowd to no end when he forgets the name "Captain Kirk" during a memory lapse, only to be goaded by Conan.) There is a disturbing, yet hilarious bit by Will Ferrell, which will haunt your memory for a very long time after viewing. The only real negatives were sketches featuring Jack Black and Ben Stiller both of whom took up valuable time and were even less funny than usual.

The DVD has several extras, including outtakes, behind the scenes views, and particularly amusing (and lengthy) comedy pieces. I was especially fond of the trip to Ireland sequence, and the sketch in which Conan starts his own boy band.

Conan was a bit nervous when he started, but is now a potent comedic force to be reckoned with. This DVD is worth numerous repeat viewings. I recommend this to any fan of Conan, or for that matter anyone with a sense of humor.
