Conan had a pretty big show last night. Here were my favorite monologue jokes:

More fallout from the bad economy. I couldn’t believe this; the bad economy is affecting the numbers of available jobs, so many new college graduates are choosing to spend a year volunteering at a non-profit organization. These non-profit organizations include Chrysler and GM. And NBC is in there too.

Cool story, the other day in Alaska a six year-old girl caught a 138 pound fish. Witnesses say they have never seen such an excited little girl or such an embarrassed weak-ass fish.

And then there was this:

The desk segment was fine, but let’s fast forward to the first couch guest: Kobe Bryant. Here’s the interview:

This interview is one of the reasons why I enjoy late night shows. Over the years I have only seen Kobe from a distance, either running up and down the court or walking into a courtroom. His appearance on Conan allowed me to observe him a little closer, and I’m pleased to see that he has grown quite a bit.

William Shatner was the second couch guest. The interview is seven minutes long, but if you only have one minute before you have to do somewhere else, fast forward to the last minute:

Incubus was the musical guest. They’ve grown up a lot too, but they’re still rockin’.

I give the show a B+.

This is my last late show review until Tuesday, July 7th. You all watch those late shows and talk amongst yourselves. I’ll see you in a couple of weeks.

I’m getting this in under the wire, so I’ll be quick. Here were my favorite monologue jokes from last night’s Tonight Show with Conan O’Brien:

This Friday the official Christmas tree was delivered to the White House. Unfortunately, the Secret Service had already let in three other trees that claimed they were on the list.

The National Domestic Violence Hotline has weighed in on the movie Twilight, and it says that Bella’s relationship with the vampire Edward has fifteen signs of being an abusive relationship. Sign number one: he’s a vampire!

The Los Angeles Clippers have suspended their TV announcers because they made a racist remark about an Iranian player during the TV broadcast. I’m shocked by this. Why would anyone televise a Clippers game?

Police in Portland, Maine arrested forty-three people on drug charges after a concert by the band Phish. Yeah, cops became suspicious of the Phish fans about fifteen years ago.

And then there was this:

The desk segment was the always decently-funny In the Year 3000:

William Shatner was the first couch guest. The interview was ok. I enjoy Shatner, but man is he kinda weird. Here was the best part of the interview:

AnnaLynne McCord was the second couch guest. The interview was also ok.

The Broadway cast from Mary Poppins was the musical guest. I wish I had a clip of their performance. They were easily the best part of the show.

Good show. I give it:
