William Shatner Is Back For Some More Wasilla Poetry

TresSugar — Thu, 05 Nov 2009 12:20:00 -0800

As you all know, I've been following the prolific tweeting of Levi Johnston (or the person who pretends to be Levi Johnston!). His 140-character musings are sometimes offensive, sometimes funny, and consistently random. You might also remember that master of spoken word recitation William Shatner went on Conan O'Brien's show a while back to read Sarah Palin's Twitter poetry. Well in an effort to be fair, Conan invited Shatner back - but this time to read Levi's tweets. Check out the video and tell me who should take the crown of Alaska's most poetic twitterer?

William Shatner Reads Palin's Tweets - I Mean, Poems

TresSugar — Fri, 31 Jul 2009 09:00:00 -0700

It appears that these writers aren't the only ones who think Sarah Palin is a poet. Conan O'Brien proclaims she is a master of free verse because of her creative use of language. Conan recently invited the one and only William Shatner onto his show to recite her farewell speech, then brought Shatner back on Wednesday to recite her Tweets. With a bongo player and bass player as background, you can almost imagine being in a smoke-filled, Beatnik dive in the '50s . . .

Camp Michael McDonald on Conan O'Brien: I Wanna Go!

GiggleSugar — Tue, 24 Feb 2009 11:00:00 -0800

So Conan O'Brien hosted his last show a few days ago before moving on to be the host of The Tonight Show. He reminisced about the surreal hijinks his show became famous for. Example: a skit about a kids' camp run by the Doobie Brothers singer Michael McDonald. I don't know you, but I know me: I wanna go! (Can you believe this isn't the first GiggleSugar video about Michael McDonald? Here's another one!)

Shatner Is Crazy Like the Wolf!

How many crazy remixes are people going to make of William Shatner driving 160 mph? Who knows, but I don't want them to stop! Here's some Warren Zevon thrown into the mix. I would dance more often if music like this came on. . .

Grand Theft Auto: Soccer Dads and Happy Lads Edition, II

GiggleSugar — Mon, 05 May 2008 16:00:00 -0700

It's official: The G-rated version of Grand Theft Auto is a hit and Conan's back with more. He maintained the setting and atmosphere of the original game, but tweaked the values and motives of the players - just a bit. The result is quite lovely. Everyone acts with a little more . . . Sense and Sensibility. Now who wouldn't want that?

Grand Theft Auto: Soccer Dads and Happy Lads Edition

GiggleSugar — Sat, 03 May 2008 02:00:00 -0700

Grand Theft Auto, the ridiculously offensive and violent video game that scores big with kids and grown buffoons alike, released its fourth edition this past week. Much to my delight, it's a keeper! I had a hunch that all the needless bloodshed, prostitute abuse, and vulgar language would get old and eventually give way to something a little more happy-go-Tootsie. All our players need is a fresh set of linens and a decent meditation spot. With these things, they're good to go eat their soy dogs in peace.

Conan Casts the Spitzer Made for TV Movie

GiggleSugar — Thu, 20 Mar 2008 07:00:00 -0700

Betcha ten bucks that the Eliot Spitzer sex scandal has been turned into a three-part television saga that's already in its tenth day of production. Conan has a number of casting recommendations, but . . . that many animals on the same set seems disastrous to me. For the sake of accuracy, however, the zoo is inevitable.

More Conan, More Camera Play

GiggleSugar — Mon, 04 Feb 2008 01:00:00 -0800

Conan is officially killing time on the air these days. Without writers, he's had to depend on the old prop room and crafty camera tricks to muscle through his hour-long program. So what waste of time activity does he have up his sleeve for this show? Even more crafty camera tricks - oooh! - but only cuz they get a cheap laugh outta us.

It's Come to This, Conan?

GiggleSugar — Thu, 31 Jan 2008 07:00:00 -0800

No writers, no problem? Think again. Conan O'Brien is arguably one of the funniest men on TV, but he seems to be at a loss for amusing topics and lively banter lately. So he killed some time by touring us around the show's prop room not too long ago and now there's this - Conan's crafty camera work. We'll call it "rock bottom" for short. He's still pretty damn funny though.
