Want to Talk About Conan's Super Bowl Debut?

Just a quick note to remind you that About Talk Shows hosts a great forum for talk show fans. Most of the major shows have their own category, so take a moment and head on over to share your thoughts about Letterman, Leno or maybe Whoopi’s latest hairstyle.

Or maybe you want to talk about Conan O'Brien's Super Bowl commercial? During the spot, Conan tells his agent that he doesn't do commercials, but his agent assures him that all the big name stars do ads in foreign countries -- and not to worry, since no one in the States will see it. The ad is for Bud Light in Sweden and showcases a spandex-clad Conan strutting for the camera Sprockets style. The ad inevitably runs on the video billboard in Times Square.

Most critics call our redheaded fave's commercial debut a bit of a fizzle, but I thought it was classic Conan. Conan’s known for his highbrow/lowbrow self-deprecating humor, and this spot fit the bill.
