What do you think? Coincidence or not? I’m actually leaning toward “not”….

That was awesome!
Wow – that is one big visual joke! I mean, thin about it; it had to be designed and built, then they had to wait till somebody noticed the connection and then finish it off with the final graphics. hhhmmmm….
You could ‘thin’ about it, or you could think about it – you pick.
As a blogger, it must be a thrill for whoever first blogged this that Conan mentioned them on his show. Good stuff!

You know, this just cements my love for Conan even more. lol! I never really watched the Tonight Show when Jay was hosting, because he never really made me laugh, but I watch it every night with Conan. Very cool of him to mention this on the show!
I was always wondering why someone decorated the backdrop in interesting shapes and patterns.
And I love how Conan and his East Coast talk says “Mario.”
The kicker was saying “All that’s missing is La Bamba”. The dude is Mario’s clone.
It was pre-produced, that’s for sure.
But I have a feeling they asked owner of the blog to make the post. It doesn’t look like just a screenshot of the level, but rather a mash-up of things from the game and the guy seems to have nailed it perfectly. Unpossible, i say!
Segment made me laugh, though, so it’s all good.
Sorry for the rest of you but I thought Jay was great on TTS. When Letterman didn’t get the job…even thou he got more bucks. He showed what a sore loser he was. As for Conan. He used to be an everyday guy. Now his ego is as big as his stupid hairdo. He looks like a clown & not in a good way.
Conan is a genius,i have watched him since the beginning on late nite, too sad Jay Leno needs to quit his job and then demand it back at 10pm, cause even he knew Conan was going to make the world forget all about his boring tonight show, seriously u can’t put Jay into the league of Jack Parr, Steve Allen, Dave, Conan, even Jimmy Kimmel is funnier than Jay ever hoped to be or could be?….give it up Jay, one week and already Coney is making history, he will be legendary, just the joke of all the kids with his red hair is indicative of his vast superiority at late night comedy, I just hope he brings back Little Jay Leno again……and of course, Andy being back, far superior choice over stuttering john,,,seriously stuttering John was the best Jay could do?
man this show is damn funny i miss the first episode of o’brien but scince tom haks was hit by an asteroid i knew this guy was perfect for the job.
@Maud: Conan may have big hair, but he’s as down to Earth as they come. I speak from experience.
Don’t be hating on Conesie. He’s the new host. Get over it.
