Even though the above video lacks conclusive evidence that Pamela Anderson's nipple was briefly visible on last night's episode of Conan, its Zapruder-like examination of the footage is amazingly effective in making us aware of how many precious seconds of our lives we were wasting trying to catch a split-second glimpse of a famous person's areola. We were especially ashamed about the state of our lives while expending a full three minutes trying to set the slider precisely on the :27 mark during our seventh viewing, a frustrating effort which still didn't produce the results we'd hoped for.

 

In an equally consequential development in the late-night talk show world, the tapings of this week's Jimmy Kimmel Live episodes were cancelled following Kimmel's Wednesday night emergency appendectomy; while a publicist assures fans the surgery was a success and he's "resting comfortably and is looking forward to getting back to work", TMZ.com exclusively reports that the host is also suffering from a debilitating cold sore, but fails to speculate on the impact this health issue might have on the timetable for his return.
