Poking fun?

Is this a comedy show, or a chat show, or something else?

Weird.

I'm just wondering how that will work, considering probably no one knows who those companies actually are... (outside of the anime and manga community, anyway)

The only thing referring to anime that I've seen on Conan's show is on the skit "Peter Bernard, Recliner of Rage".

I assume this will be another one of those. So I'll watch since they're usually hilarious like his Robotech rant.

It's a late-night talk show.

I can't wait to see this. I watch the Tonight Show as much as I can, but I'm really looking forward to this now. Very Happy

Yeah, I'm not sure how this will work. It'll be interesting to see.

Edit: it sounds as if they planned to do this in advance. This is a peculiar piece of news, I must say.

I guess Conan wasn't happy with just inserting random cameos of Gundam toys and a hentai clip into his other show. Laughing

I can only pray that Triumph the Insult Comic Dog is somehow involved in this.

YES! YES! YES! Those are so funny! Even when they're not about anime!

His name is PIERRE Bernard.

And I f*cking love him. He's my kind of nerd. Except I suspect that he really doesn't know anything about anime...he did the same kind of skit on Late Night, and he was tripping over the name "Shinichiro Watanabe" in one of them. Laughing

This sounds interesting. I know they've done anime bits before on Conan (Pierre Bernard, their graphic designer, is an anime fan). I definitely think he's going to be involved with this somehow. Should be funny. Smile
