late night with U2
U2 took over the Conan O'Brien show on Thursday. The entire show was all U2, all the time. We taped it (thanks to a heads up from Chicken Paco) and watched it last night. The funniest part was when Conan was interviewing the folks standing in line before the show. I don't watch Conan much anymore, but every time I do I think he is the funniest man alive. Then I wait six months to watch him again.
It was a fun show. The Edge did The Year 2000 jokes, Conan interviewed the band and Bono alone, and they played four songs. After the first song, Conan came bounding out onto stage and then suddenly stopped short when he realized he wasn't ever supposed to be in the same shot with Bono if they were both standing up. Which didn't really matter because later Bono played guitar on an oversized guitar that made him look incredibly wee.
Larry Mullen, Jr is funny because if he cuts his hair short or grows it long (it was longer last night), he still has the same essential style. The Edge is funny because he reminds me so much of Crapples.
If you missed it, here are a few jokes:
U2's Flock of Seagulls phase
U2's Fat Years
