Where does the phrase Bye Felicia come from? If you forgot that the phrase is a throwaway line from the 1995 cult comedy Friday, you’re not alone. Fortunately, Ice Cube reminds us all where it comes from–and the right way to use it. The phrase “Bye, Felicia” has recently swept the nation–but, as is the case…
Noted celebrity Kim Kardashian has a new Super Bowl commercial out, but it might be only the second-most high-profile ad campaign for the star of last year’s “Break the Internet” effort.

The terror attack on the Parisian offices of satirical newspaper Charlie Hebdo sent shockwaves through the entertainment world today, with many writers, actors, and comedians, issuing statements of disbelief and solidarity both formal and informal.

As I’m sure most of you know, the world lost the comedic genius of Robin Williams on Wednesday after the 63-year-old actor and comedian was found dead from an apparent suicide in his northern California home. When the news broke, Conan O’Brien was in the process of recording his talk show, and at the end of the show he shared the sad news with the studio audience before he, Andy Richter, and guest Will Arnett expressed their admiration for the amazing comedian and human being that Robin Williams was.

Affable TV host Conan O’Brien likes to keep himself abreast of all the hip new things his youthful staff are into.

In order to do it right he recruited Dave Franco, one gloriously creepy van, duct tape and alcohol.
Joe Manganiello, People’s sexiest bachelor alive and new boyfriend of Sofia Vergara, swung by Conan for a little chit chat and tossed in some free stripper move tips while he was at it. See the hip inertia in all of its glory!

It seems like these days children are getting smartphones younger and younger, and while that enables them to learn more about technology, have a safety net if they need an emergency call, and sometimes even be tracked by their parents, constantly being glued to the internet and social media may be having detrimental effects on their emotional development. Comedian Louis C.K. explains in poetic detail what smartphones are probably doing to our children (and to adults.)
Country singer (and actor!) Willie Nelson is a seemingly ageless spiritual guru with a beard and long hair who is constantly traveling, likes to smoke, and almost always has a piece of wood with him in the form of his famous guitar, Trigger. So of course he would be a perfect fit to play JRR Tolkein’s wizened wizard, Gandalf! Now, thanks to the fine folks over at Conan O’Brien’s Team CoCo, here is Willie Wizard Nelson auditioning for the role in Peter Jackson’s upcoming The Hobbit 2!
Late night host Conan O’Brien was in Ireland this week getting back to his roots and picking up an award from Trinity College’s Philosophical Society while he was at it.

Watch the touching clip and catch a very important Bravolebrity that dropped in to walk one of the grooms down the aisle!
Take a journey with me on a blogger happenstance and discover how I realized that a random Conan O’Brien writer and part time actor is a dead-ringer for Tareq Salahi of what used to be The Real Housewives of D.C. It involves Playgirl, Conan O’Brien’s birthday and a recent podcast. Welcome to my world!
The very talented and funny Kristen Schaal made an appearance on “Conan” last night to discuss her sex book, her rise in the comedy ranks but most importantly a new and improved means by which one can generate their own adult-film-star name.
See the funny clip and then check out two sexy pics of Conan’s alter egos Pebbles Kennard and Appletini Badsex!
When Conan O’Brien discussed the strange new fashion trend of leggings made to look like jeans called jeggings with Tim Gunn he was surprised when Gunn revealed that men also wear them.

Are you ready for tonight, because Arlene the machine has the masturbating bear and the rest of America trembling in our diapers!
The moment all you Team Coco people have been waiting for has arrived. Conan O’Brien has officially announced the name of his upcoming show on TBS. Did he have a publicist do it? Heck no.

We’re only three short months away from Conan O’Brien and his yet to be titled show from debuting on TBS.

That is until now and the following odd first promo video from TBS. Check out the brief homage to Monty Python!
Fans of Conan O’Brien snickered with glee when it was announced The Tonight Show with Conan O’Brien received an Emmy nomination for Outstanding Variety, Music Or Comedy Series and both Leno and Letterman did not. But, it appears as though NBC will have the last laugh as they have decided not to air the announcement of the nominees and the handing out of the award during their televised broadcast of the event August 29!
It was a dance-off for the ages on Conan O’Brien’s “The Legally Prohibited From Being Funny on Television Tour” last night at New York City’s Radio City Music Hall! It was a star-studded event and nowhere was this more apparent than when Conan threw down in an all-or-nothing dance-off with Stephen Colbert. As Def Leppard’s 80’s classic “Pour Some Sugar On Me” blared out through the PA system, Colbert and O’Brien took turns in a Zoolander like wiggle-war. Jon Stewart also joined in on the fun!
While Conan is out on his ‘The Legally Prohibited from Being Funny on Television Tour’ it looks like his writers have received a green light from ‘TBS’ for their own special.

Ousted late night host Conan O’Brien got a huge settlement from NBC as part of his controversial departure from The Tonight Show, and part of that huge settlement was a clause prohibiting Conan from performing on television again until after September 1, 2010.

Conan O’Brien, lacking a job, is now filling his hours Tweeting in a self-referencing network of Twitter accounts that include his Beard, his Freckles, his ATM card and his squirrel. They’re full of puns and hilarious accounts of Conan’s cereal eating and television watching habits. It’s actually more funny than his run on The Tonight…
Conan O’Brien ended his 20-plus years of working for NBC tonight and not only did he do it with class and dignity, he did it with the Godfather of Grunge Neil Young!!
Conan introduced Neil Young by saying that after it was announced that Conan would no longer be the host of The Tonight Show, Neil was the first to call and offer his support. Neil delivered an acoustic performance of “Long May You Run” that must have punched Conan right in the chrome heart.
Watch the performance!
Watch Will Ferrell and Conan O’Brien end Coco’s rein as host of The Tonight Show come to an appropriately hilarious and surreal conclusion by delivering a raucously fun rendition of Lynyrd Skynyrd’s Southern Rock anthem “Freebird!”

Dear Internet, Tonight is Conan’s last show, and the lineup is Tom Hanks, Will Ferrell, Neil Young, and tons of surprises! Conan announced that he definitely wants to pose nude, whether we want to see that or not (we do, who doesn’t want to see a beanpole ginge nude?) He also wants to be played…
The legendary Neil Young, this year’s recipient of the distinguished MusiCares person of the Year award (read about it here), will be closing out Conan O’Brien’s Tonight Show run on Friday January 22nd, 2010.

Chinese television may have done a better job, but Pee Wee Herman didn’t disappoint with his hilarious explanation of the NBC / Conan O’Brien fracas using a stuffed giraffe with a shock of red hair, a plush NBC peacock and action toys.

The NBC Conan O’Brien tee shirt – everything is fine and dandy when you’re coming, not so great when you’re going.
Conan filmed his next-to-last show as host of The Tonight Show and he still kept the jokes rolling while revealing that he’s taking all this in stride.

If…
In 2004 Jay Leno felt it was necessary to address the then recent disclosure that he would be handing over The Tonight Show reins to Conan O’Brien in 2009. Leno wanted his audience to understand his conviction as it pertained to this important changing of the guards.
Here’s the last thing he says:
“Because you know when I took this show over, boy there was a lot of animosity between me and Dave and who’s gonna get it, and quite frankly, a lot of … good friendships were permanently damaged. And I don’t want to see anybody ever have to go through that again. Cause this show is like a Dynasty. You hold it, and then you hand it off to the next person. And I don’t want to see all the fighting and all the ‘who’s better?’ and nasty things back and forth in the press so right now, here it is, Conan, it’s yours, see you in 4 years buddy!”
See the video of the full announcement and read the complete transcription!

January 13 was another sassy night during the last days of The Tonight Show with Conan O’Brien.

These NBC Late Night wars have everyone stirred up.

Conan O’Brien released a statement today saying that he refuses to stay with “The Tonight Show” if it’s moved to a 12:05 a.m. time slot, because really, that wouldn’t make it the “The Tonight Show” anymore, and would lead to the destruction of the show as an institution started by Johnny Carson. Also, he’s justifiably…
There have been all sorts of rumors circulating and jokes being made about NBC’s decision to move Jay Leno back to his 11:30 PM time slot, bumping The Tonight Show with Conan O’Brien to 12:05 AM and Late Night with Jimmy Fallon to 1:05 AM. Conan himself has made a few cracks about the move, most of which have involved not-so-humorous barbs at NBC. But so far there hasn’t been much to come out of the Conan camp officially.
Well, that’s changed now! Conan issued a long statement this afternoon that addresses all aspects of the NBC Late Night shake-up, including the possibility of moving to another network. Read the entire statement.

The November ratings…
Former governor of Alaska Sarah Palin got some sweet revenge tonight thanks to Conan O’Brien and The Tonight Show. William Shatner read some of Sarah Palin’s tweets as beat poetry on the show back in July. Ol’ Will kicked things off by reading some passages “Mr Tambourine”-style from Sarah Palin’s recently published autobiography Going Rogue.
It was then Sarah’s turn and she delivered some hilarious lines from William Shatner’s own autobiography, Up Till Now. Here’s the classic performance:
Before Kristen Stewart headed over to the New Moon Hollywood Premiere, she stopped by The Tonight Show with Conan O’Brien to show her new Bella tattoo, pictured above. She designed it herself.

It all started with a seemingly innocent joke told by Tonight Show host Conan O’Brien about the city of Newark, New Jersey’s response to the problem of healthcare: “The mayor … wants to set up a citywide program to improve residents’ health.

During the final leg, which ended on…
John McCain acted a little wacko about a year ago in desperation for votes, but I’ve always liked the man when he was being himself. He’s a cool cat with a logical mind, a sense of honor and truthfulness, and, probably the best trait for a politician to have (or anyone to have): a sense…
The title pretty much says it all. The NBC video was loadin’ a might slow, so here’s the video from Hulu:
