Late Show with Conan

Do not get to watch that much of the late show with Conan because of stupid work hours! But last night I battled to stay awake after the Phils game and was rather pleased with the comedy duet of Conan and Andy. Those two are so much funnier than Jay and the black guy from the band! Johnny of course will always be king, but even his drunk sidekick was not really that funny.

Last night Conan nailed a joke about a Denver company that came up with a beef jerky that has caffeine in it. They call it perky jerky. That is not the original name they came up with though. At first they called it the morning beef stick. But they decided that perky jerky would be more appropriate.

Now the joke was funny. What was even funnier was the facial expressions of Andy Richter as the punchline was delivered. Then the camrea flashed back to Conan and he made a goofy gay face and then back to Andy who was making his own goofy gay face. The host would go on to beat a dead horse and say morning beef stick several times as they would not comment but just make funny faces as the original jerky title was announced! It was very funny and I hope that others enjoyed it as much as I did.

When I told my wife about this little bit. She says, "you know what, I could go for some of your jerky." Unfortunatly she meant real beef jerky that I make in the smoker. Not my morning beef stick!! Damn it! guess I better go check the cupboards and see if I have any soy sauce and liquid dry smoke.
