When times were tough in high school, I always had Conan's Actual Items and State Quarters. Still classic.

Relatable. Still so comforting.

You know, the lower quality picture/resolution is what makes this skit really work, since it helps to obscure the punchline. Love it.

This way you don’t see it coming. You have to wait until Conan says it.

The "punchlines" aren't intended to be seen until the camera zooms in and Conan reads what it says. It's crucial to the set-up and timing of the bit. The joke is supposed to blend in w/ that actual item until it's slowly revealed by the zoom-in. This way you aren't reading the punchline while he's trying to set it up.

Louia CK wrote Actual Items I think. He said that in a Howard interview recently.

scottrngr Yeah. He asked if they wanted to watch him before writing it.

That explains the masturbation joke in the refrigerator ad. Still like "Actual Items" despite who wrote it.
@jenfine3 жыл бұрын
He created the bit but he only worked there from like 93-95. He didn’t write these.

Conan had (and still has) a team of writers who wrote a majority of his jokes. Most late night hosts do it’s very normal, but they have meetings and discuss the show for the night and all the jokes everyone pitches, Conan (while still very funny on his own) mostly just accepts or rejects ideas and jokes from his staff. In the interview Louis mentions that “we” did Real Items, meaning he and the staff

conanfan33 Please don't ever apologize for having the kindness to upload these clips for the masses. The majority appreciate it, and are grateful. Only the ignorant and entitled would comment on the quality. Please ignore them. They are incredibly stupid and selfish people. And with any luck they are too heinous in appearance to ever reproduce, these slack jawed imbeciles.

The quality adds to the nostalgia, makes me wish I had a time machine though, those were good times. Thank you.

@conanfan33 Plus, Leno doesn't write the "headlines". He has people mail them in to him. So there is no creativity involved on his part

Conan doesn't have writers do "Actual Items", does he? They're *real,* aren't they!?
@redshiftexperiment14 жыл бұрын
THANKS!! I loved the actual items bit and was looking for it!! awesome! I almost flipped my pots and pans when andy said that about the casino ad and conan replied "you just destroyed the joke!" that was pure hilarity!
