I find his lack of a mustache disturbing.

I love the idea that conan is uploading it himself. With him being him it involves a very convoluted process with yelling at sona involved

I don’t understand how he looks SO much younger now than he did then.

I feel like Paul is my brother. We both were raised Catholic. We both have Irish heritage. We both aren’t Catholic anymore. We both had a lot of siblings. He is exactly 3 months older than I am. And we both love laughing more than most. I get all of his and Scott’s gen-x references. If Paul can be 51 and still cool as hell and have over a million followers on Twitter, then there’s a chance that I, too, could still be cool.

@mukund p hope so, that would be a great crossover episode

[@babarazamsucks]

amazing gabbo I actually also thought the same thing until I read the description luckily before I ended up googling him up instead.

[@chriswashingtonlodge9261]

PFT's old act is rough compared to how he perfected it 20 years later, throwing in great improv and impressions. I wish he had done his peanut brittle joke here.

[@da8675]

I love PF Tompkins's sense of humor and stand-up. He is my all-time favorite. However, I wonder if his desire to dress up in suits affected the impression of him to the uninitiated. It may give the wrong impression that he needs to try harder to impress.

Lacking the nuance of a great comedian... though from the comments apparently he gets better, I should watch some of his later stuff

[@chrislovesyoubb]
