Conan O'Brien: People In The Know Call Harvard "The Vard"

[@TheTuubster]

We are back in the "writers strike" times and I am loving it.

Except Conan and Stephen go off the air as much as possible (without also getting fired) when that happens...because they have souls and take the writers' side.

Conan O’Brien you went to South Korea for a USO tour a few years ago and you took a picture with my son...an American soldier.. he was so excited about that picture and really enjoyed you visiting his unit. You made an impression. I thank you as mom...thank you for your service but more importantly I’m so proud of both my children who have served our great country!,

[@retnavybrat]

I seem to remember an interview with Weird Al in which he mentions that, legally, he doesn't have to ask any of the copyright holders of the songs he parodies for permission, but he does so anyway out of professional courtesy.

[@MTMF.london]

He's right on that. Anyone can make parodies out of any song - it is the same as mocking someone or making them the butt of a joke. It is a form of freedom of speech/expression. They may not like it or take offence but it is legal.

[@into_the_void]

They should do an episode together with Craig Ferguson also...I'd pay to see

[@itwasagoodideaatthetime7980]

I swear, from this point forward, millions of applicants and their parents are going to be referring to Harvard as “The Vard.” Why did you have to tell them? Next you’re going to teach them the secret knock that when you do it on the Admissions Office door commands them to open it immediately, and accept you for admission with a full scholarship. Damn you! Don’t ruin this for us!

[@JohnOhkumaThiel]

Am I joking? Only we who are in the know, know.

[@unsolicited.opinion]

I love how they both respect each other but you can see how much Stephen admires Conan by the way he seeks his approval (sorry for the pun Conan, even though song parody is the lowest form of comedy-I’m paraphrasing)

I haven’t seen Colbert this charming in ages. Its like his guests on the late show couldn’t handle him being antagonistic so he’s pulling punches and it sometimes comes off as passive aggressive. Which is too bad because Colbert really shines as a contrarian and as a provocateur.

They have such great chemistry together and it's very natural for them to playfully barb and banter (not to say less of other crossovers with Stephen which were brilliant) , and I loved every minute. I would love to see these two talk a bit more and play a game of ad-libs or something similarly ripe for comedy mining. Awesome videos!

[@anterax4097]

Conan is actually super smart and witty; he wrote some of The Simpson’s best early episodes and quickly charmed the other writers as a newcomer at the time; soon after he was elected to replace Carson. They’re both highly intelligent and wholesomely snarky and that’s why I love them both. They are also both good actors

[@rosalindglazer7454]

These two (Conan and I were classmates BHS '81) are two of the smartest, funniest people I know in all of comedy out there these days. Stephen is also one of the smartest, kindest folks on TV, period. For some crazy reason I also love that they are both Catholic and yet they get and appreciate Jews. I love that they are my age peers, that they are white guys and - dare I say it - pretty evolved as far as humans go. I also love that - without fail - whenever I hear them they always get one or more "laugh out loud" moment out of me and that says A LOT cuz I don't do it much! THANKS GUYS!
