Conan’s Opening Monologue Jokes Leaked

Are you excited about Conan’s Tonight Show debut tonight? We are! We’ve got big bowl of tortilla chips already out and we’re about to whip up some homemade queso dip! Jealous? Regardless, here’s something to whet your appetite—-a few of Conan’s opening jokes have been sent to us!

We couldn’t resist sharing some of these with you:

Well, I’ve timed this moment perfectly. I’m on a last place network, I moved to a state that’s bankrupt, and tonight’s show is sponsored by General Motors.

A lot of people have been asking me, “Will your show be any different now that you’ve moved to Los Angeles?” I tell them all, “No. Mi programa no va a cambiar porque estoy en la ciudad de Los Angeles.”

This is a huge night for me. I remember watching Johnny Carson when I was a kid and thinking, “That’s what I want to be when I grow up.” And I’m sure right now somewhere in America, there’s a little kid watching me and thinking, “What is wrong with that man’s hair?

I think they’ve built us a beautiful studio here in Los Angeles. This studio holds 380 people. It’s exactly like being at a Clippers game.

We’re here at Universal Studios. It’s exciting to tape the show on the Universal lot because we’re just around the corner from Wisteria Lane where they film “Desperate Housewives”. In fact, in a lot of recent scenes you can see me playing the “Creepy Guy in the Bushes.”

Good God he’s so much better than Leno—-We can hardly wait!

    @stanhalen: And Conan's not been doing the same thing? ...except funnier?

    @Kyle Mohr: The best part of the monologue was the improv inbetween.

    @I Love New Jersey:

    So coming up with fresh stuff five nights a week year after year is easy?

    Are you sure you're not the "crazed homeless guy" at the back of the D train?
    Been spending some time at the library lately, right?

    Don't kid yourself, Jay and his writing staff work hard. And if it were so easy, schmucks like you and I would be living the dream.

    So take it back. Say "sorry Jay" and move on.

    I have heard crazed homeless guys on the D train who are better than Leno, so it is not hard.

    @mattchew03: Yeah it's always in bad taste to make a joke about a joke.

  • mattchew03

    Maybe I'm just a bitter Leno lover or something (though I do love ConeBone, too), but I don't really think it's appropriate for Conan to be making jokes about the Clippers.

    @ObamaIsMyPresident: Yeah, the last one was definitely the weakest.

  • ObamaIsMyPresident

    They were all pretty good - except for that last one.
