Yup! He did it at last. The unfunniest funny man in television at long last had something funny on his show! None other than Mr. comedy himself, Jerry Lewis! I know. I couldn't believe it either, that's why I felt duty bound to announce it to the world myself tonight. I was caught by surprise, let me tell you! The idea the the sultan of stupid slapstick, the king of tasteless skits, could come up with such a choice guest was completely from out of left field! Jerry looked great, still a little puffy, but so much better than the last time I saw him, and I am so glad he is recovering from his condition, and the unfortunate side effects of his treatment. He was touting his latest book, " Dean Martin and Me: a love story" ( or something like that) O'Brien didn't give it as much exposure as he should have, so I am not real sure of the name, but there can't be two of them like it, so that is close enough. I am sure we will be able to find it at the book stores! Jerry was his old hilarious self, cracking jokes and just being so engaging, as well as showing a clip of himself, with a group of barbershop singers. Apparently he had to fill in for one of the singers at the last minute, and it was so funny, I was almost hysterical throughout the whole thing. Watch for this show in reruns during the next month or so...you know Conan. He's always taking time off,and has reruns all the time.This time it's a good thing! Imagine that! Another first! A show of Conan O'Brien's that you will actually look for and enjoy!
Of course, you will have to suffer through the first five minutes while he does his dumb string through the hips thing...BLAH!...and the ignorant day after thanksgiving parade...so droll, but still, the best music on t.v. helps, with Max Weinberg and the Max Weinberg Seven, and with Jerry Lewis as his first guest, how can you go wrong? Also, there was a music group on there that did a wonderful song, about wearing purple...called, something bordello, who were amazingly good, and very amusing, so at least Conan is trying to do better....Ah! another thing to be Thankful for!
OUI?
