There’s not a lot to say about this, other than it’s all pretty great, but last night’s episode of Conan, capping off his week in New York, featured Triumph the Insult Comic Dog visiting Occupy Wall Street in what might be his best segment since the Star Wars line, an interview with Louis C.K., and then Conan officiated the first televised gay marriage between one of his staff members and his partner (Scott Cronick and David Gorshein). So, let’s just watch all of these clips because we make smart choices in our lives. First, Triumph the Insult Comic Dog visits Occupy Wall Street:
Perfect.
Up next, an interview with Louis C.K.:
Again, perfect.
And finally, Conan officiates the marriage of Scott Cronick and David Gorshein:
Oh man. It’s television like this that psychically pays for all the other television we watch. It’s an emotional and laughter loss leader, or something. Look, I’m not a businessman. It’s just nice stuff to watch! What, you’re going to complain about that now? There is literally no pleasing you. (Stephen Colbert and Jon Stewart also appeared on last night’s episode, which you can watch here, but I didn’t include it because I don’t really like it when those two go ham it up on other people’s shows. They are very funny and their shows are very good, but for some reason their guest spots always strike me as overly self-indulgent and lite on laffs. That’s just my opinion, but also this is just my blog. Work it out. You’ll be fine! SERIOUSLY, WHY CAN’T YOU BE HAPPY?!)
Good show, Conan O’Brien! Thank you for it!

Someone has to say it: allowing gay men* to get married on television undermines the sanctitty of marriage.
*and also anybody else
They showed gay marriage and sanctitties on US cable? Groundbreaking night.
Haha, that has to be the best typo ever. I’m printing this one up and framing it.
I’d say those crazy print-tuxedoes ruin the sanctity of marriage, you know what I’m saying?
I’m ready for marriage to be a thing of the past.
I know a lot of married men who would agree with you.
And single ladies who spend all their vacation money being bridesmaids so their friends can get that Kitchenaid mixer. I DON’T WANT TO BUY ANY MORE MIXERS OR STUPID DRESSES. YOU ALREADY HAVE BETTER HEALTH INSURANCE THAN ME, JUST STAY DATING. UGH.
To quote Kurt Vonnegut (because I am a pretentious ass), if this isn’t nice, I don’t know what is.
Vonnegut ended a sentence with a preposition?! To quote Churchill, “This is the sort of English up with which I will not put.”
Is: apparently a verb AND a preposition. The More You Know.
I didn’t say THAT was the sentence he ended with a preposition.
I actually wrote a long comment about grammar and changing grammar rules, and then remembered that no one outside of my brain cares. Unless you all DO care, in which case let’s have a grammar party! We can talk semantics next! It will be the best Friday ever! Now I know why Rebecca Black was so excited!
I care. Oh wait did you say grammar?
My grammar is ironic.
Don’t you think?
I care. I care a lot.
I would’ve read it! I took a class all about the evolution of the English language. It was lovely, except for the sentence diagramming. I really hate sentence diagramming.
I am not going to lie, the evolution of language is one of my favorite topics ever. I am feeling such nerd joy right now.
Nerd joy? Is that anything like human joy?
It’s more like almond joy, to be honest.
I like to use the evolution of language to justify my terrible spelling sometimes. Eventually people are going to spell it that way, I’m just getting head start.
Nerd joy is the best joy.
I agree. I love reading about how messed up this pigeon tongue is. If we were still speaking anything related to Old English we’d be up to our heads in declensions. Oy!
Well if anything this is proof that not only do I cry at every wedding I attend, but also now at televised weddings re-broadcast on blogs.
I had no idea Louis CK was half Mexican. I don’t know why, but that makes me like him even more.
Because you’re racist, that’s why!
lulz.
I teared up at the gay wedding even though that jacket was hard to look at (my eyes bled) and I hated his partner’s hair. AND Andy Cohen was the best man (WTF). OK, I’ll say it. Andy Cohen is hot. Dammit. What is wrong with me.
Speaking of tearing up at TV…holy fuck, you guys, I just watched the Sad Don Draper episode of Mad Men last night! When Don cried, I almost cried! For real!
his beauty makes me cry
Hi, Louis C.K.! Love your show!
Hope you bought the 2-ply!
For me, the big story here is LouisCK.net bypassing “the man” by selling to us directly. I love it. I hope he makes a ton of cash from it.
I got 5 on it.
Also: Crowd surfing bed bug!
I don’t have anything clever to add, I too just found this episode to be great.
That looks like a good episode. I’m sorry that I missed it I was too busy watching Louis CK in real life in stupid Pittsburgh. D:
