List of The Tonight Show with Conan O'Brien sketches

The announcer attempts to prove to Conan that celebrity tweets are exciting by reading some of his favorites, which all describe mundane activities or are bland statements.

Having acknowledged the higher profile that comes with being host of The Tonight Show, Conan schemes to beat the paparazzi at their own game by photographing himself in embarrassing situations and selling the pictures directly to the tabloids.

Past moments have included Conan running over a bible salesman, stealing underwear from Barbara Walters, loading a corpse into the trunk of a car, and kicking babies at a playground (all while drunk).

The cause of the traffic jam would always be something absurd, such as a dog celebrating its bar mitzvah, a marauding robot, or a giant Amy Winehouse passed out on the road.

After refusing to try it, the sketch was renamed "Just Shut Up and Drink It" and the unpleasant task was passed along to LaBamba, who instantly gagged and regurgitated the beverage.

[5] After discussing an interesting news story, Conan would sometimes introduce a tangentially related guest who he would claim was appearing live via satellite.

At the beginning of the interview Conan would often note the surprisingly good quality of the satellite feed or simply call the technology very expensive.

In reality, the guest would actually be in front of a false wall or green screen just a few feet away from Conan and in full view of the studio audience.

One was of Henry Winkler as his Happy Days character Arthur Fonzarelli (whose hand positioning caused Conan to comment that he had just finished up at the urinal), and the other was a creepy-looking figure of Tom Cruise.

[7] Toward the end of the Tonight Show controversy in January, Wax Tom Cruise was featured on Twitter in a picture, wearing a "Team Conan" shirt.

Past businesses have included a pornography studio, a tattoo parlor operated by a man named Freak Show, and a store that exclusively sells items decorated like the American flag.

Conan was visibly impressed by the man's natural comedic timing and sincere personality and the focus of the remote shifted from the NBC store to Wing Pang, himself.

[11] In this sketch, Conan reveals that Max Weinberg has allowed a camera crew to follow him while touring in Europe with Bruce Springsteen and the E Street Band.

[14] Inspired by a recent trip to Dodger Stadium, Conan introduces the concept of couples sharing a kiss when the camera settles on them.

These sketches typically deviate from this standard formula by including several odd pairings, such as a hunter making out with a bear or a nerdy Harry Potter fan groping an imaginary woman.

[16] Following the release of Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince, Conan reports that one the film's main actors has let success go to his head.

[17] After former Alaska governor Sarah Palin used flowery language during her resignation speech (and later on her Twitter account), Conan called on William Shatner to recite some of her most poetic statements in a dramatic, exaggerated fashion reminiscent of his musical career.

[18] After mentioning that Oprah Winfrey is suing companies for using her name and image without permission, Conan claims to be a victim of similar unauthorized endorsements.

For example, Max recorded a Swine Flu PSA in which he suggested that everyone wear surgical masks, but only so women would have a harder time identifying him after he exposes himself to them on the subway.

After one such appearance (and subsequent death), Tonight Show announcer Andy Richter questioned Cody's ability to repeatedly die, only to later reappear unharmed.

Another assistant to appear alongside Cody was Frankenstein's monster (played by Brian Stack) from Late Night with Conan O'Brien.

These scenes included things that had supposedly gone unnoticed in previous versions of the film, such as the Cowardly Lion's penis or a smoking munchkin.

The weather reporter was often surrounded by individuals who reacted to the rain in extreme fashion, such as emergency crews, a robotic mop, and roving bands of warriors.

[27] When the United States Forest Service released new ads featuring Smoky the Bear, Conan noted their aggressive tone and disturbing content.

For the next few moments Andy would pilot his podium around the stage, often cutting in front of the camera and distracting Conan as he attempts to continue with the show.

His recommendations included the 1974 made-for-TV movie Killdozer, a calendar of extraordinary chickens, and an album of music from action film star Steven Seagal.

[35] In reality, the car was donated for use by the Petersen Automotive Museum,[36] however NBC was forced to remove all web clips of the sketch from its website and Hulu in order to avoid paying the royalty fees for 'Satisfaction'.

[37] The following night, Conan acquired 2009 Kentucky Derby winner Mine That Bird, dressed the horse in a mink Snuggie and had it watch restricted NFL Super Bowl coverage at a purported cost of $4.8 million.

Repeated viewings by internet viewers revealed though that the horse was similar looking stand-in and that the football footage shown was actually from the USFL.

[38] The final show featured a purchased fossil of a ground sloth from the Smithsonian spraying an original Picasso with beluga caviar at a cost of $65 million.
