I'm going to NYC in July and I got tickets to the Yankees - Red Sox game on July 4 in Yankee Stadium. This is the last year the Yankees are playing there, so I thought it'd be cool to see a game there before they turn it into a parking lot.
I want to get tickets for either Conan O'Brien or David Letterman, too. Which would you recommend? Right now I'm leaning toward O'Brien, just because I love Conan and I've always wanted to see him live in-studio. Then again, Letterman would be pretty cool, too. Help a brother out.

No suggestion about the late shows, but will be looking for an update.
Me and my fiance will hit NYC for our honeymoon.
Keep the details out there, or let me know how things went via email!

I would do Letterman because he's more likely to have a good guest and because he's more likely to retire soon. I've always wanted to see Saturday Night Live. Been to NY a bunch of times but never managed that one.
Yankee Stadium is cool. Watching them play the Red Sox there is ultra cool. I did that a couple of years ago when Pedro was still a member of the Sox. The hatred in the stands rivals -- and surpasses in vulgarity -- the animosity between AU and AL fans.
I wrote an article about it one time. I'll see if I can find it. I even got pictures of Yankee fans being led out in handcuffs while Sox fans heckled them. It was great.

I can't wait for the game. I pull for the Sox in the AL, and I'll be sporting my finest Red Sox attire for the game. I'm looking forward to getting into a fight in the stands.
I checked into getting SNL tickets, but they are next-to impossible to get from what I can tell.

I went the year Boston won the Series for the first time since 1918. Hearing the Yankee fans chant "1918, 1918" over and over and the Sox fans come back with "Fuck the Yankees, Fuck the Yankees" was awesome.
Giambi came up to bat and you couldn't hear his name being announced for the Sox fans chanting "STEEEEEE-ROIDS."
Pedro was on and Boston beat NY for a series sweep and the fans got rowdy about the sixth inning. Pelting each other with hot dogs, cursing each other's mothers. Then some guy showers a dude with beer which brought out the best New York profanity ever... "Hey... Fuck you, you fuckin' fuck!" And the pushing and shoving started. Then the cops showed up. Hotdogs rained down on the cops. It was brutal. I loved it.

This is right up my alley. I just hope I don't get arrested.

Will do. Your email still deepanus420@yahoo.com?
No silly bitch, it's ogrethecockgobbler@deepandwide.com....
Its from that website you started about yourself....
you have mail....

It's cool, I didn't know you changed it.

I would go to Letterman for the same reasons Kaos mentioned, plus I have always found him funnier than Conan anyway.
Also make sure you trow a few relish dogs at the Damn Yankee fans for me.

Seriously? Go see Conan. You have historical ties to him. He will make you laugh more than Letterman.
Get your tickets early. They go on sale like 2 months before the show starts, and sell out quickly. And even if he books some B list actor, you still have a great chance of seeing "in the year 2000", or "the masturbating bear", or at the very least, watching Max bang the drums with gusto.

It's like you're inside my head. I checked on tickets and they haven't put the July shows out for sale yet.

To get into SNL - you can't get into the actual taping, but you CAN Get into the dress rehearsal. It is first come first served for tickets - they are FREE (or at least they were the last time I was in NYC). What you do is go up to the NBC ticket counter at 30 Rock WHEN THEY FIRST OPEN OR EVEN EARLIER on Saturday morning, and ask for dress rehearsal tickets - IF they are taping - I think they are on hiatus in the summer? But if not, and they are taping a show, you can get a ticket, then show up at like 9am to wait in line based on the number on your ticket. If your ticket is higher than 50, you probably wn't get in - much higher than that, don't even bother showing up.

Go see Conan, That is something I have always wanted to do.

I'm 99% sure that's what I am going to do. Maybe I'll get some free Preperation H!

It is by far the only late night show that can make me laugh. The Masturbating Bear, The String Dance, In the year 2000, Max Weinberg, The creepy announcer guy, Pimpbot, and the list goes on and on.
-
Oh yeah, and the fucking Chuck norris Lever. How could anyone forget that?

Chuck Norris' tears cure cancer. Problem is, Chuck Norris doesn't cry.

Who knew that a pro football player would copy Conan?

I love Conan! Can't wait until he comes on at 10:30 so I can watch him more often! I hope he doesn't change anything!

I shit my pants from laughing so hard from that first embedded video.

You guys can have your Conan OBrien as long as I get to watch Craig Ferguson every night. I love that damn Scot.

Figured I'd post this here, since we were talking Conan and all. His last show was Friday night.
Our Last Look at Conan's 'Late Night'
By Mindy Monez - TWoP | Saturday, February 21, 2009, 8:57 AM
This week of nostalgia-filled "Late Night with Conan O'Brien" episodes finally concluded last night, and while it may not have been as full of surprises and craziness as I expected, it was a nice and sincere farewell to the show that made us all fall irreversibly in love with Conan O'Brien.
The show kicked off with a brief and final string dance, amongst a roaring crowd, and a little signature self-effacing humor from the host: "We've done 2,725 shows -- 42 of them quite good." After a surprisingly funny video greeting from John Mayer, in which he sang a cautionary tale called "L.A. Will Eat You Alive", Will Ferrell was the first surprise guest. The longtime friend of the show come out as George W. Bush, but then quickly stripped off his suit to reveal the "Sexy Leprechaun" character he's tortured Conan with over the years, which was a big relief. I was pretty worried that maybe the week would go by without seeing Will Ferrell in neon green hot pants, which would have been a crime. Because he's not doing that at 11:30.
We finally got to see the classic "1864 Baseball" remote sketch -- another one I'd been waiting for all week -- and every Late Night fan's heart was surely broken when Conan had to release Abe Vigoda into the wild, crying, "Pa says I can't take you with me! Get!" Heartstrings! So much tugging! I really am going to miss Abe Vigoda.
The biggest "surprise" guest moment of the night, however, of course came from Andy Richter. The prodigal son returns! Conan and Andy hugged and exchanged some easy pleasantries, before launching into an awesome clip package of their greatest moments together (my favorite has always been the "Dallas"-style minisode).
After Andy left, Conan launched into a lengthy and heartfelt list of thank yous to all the people who made the show possible over the years, his voice breaking every so often but quickly recovered with some more self-effacing humor, as is his way. He thanked everyone -- the fans, the crew, the band, executive producer Jeff Ross, the writers, Lorne Michaels -- and a very special thank you to David Letterman, who of course invented the type of show Conan does, and helped legitimize Conan's hosting gig back when it wasn't going very well. He also thanked Jay Leno for always being a friend who encouraged his viewers to stay tuned for Conan, but he didn't say much about him as a comedian or a "Tonight Show" host. Interesting.
My favorite thing about Conan has always been the fact that he never panders. He never dumbs down his comedy -- he assumes his audience is as smart and weird as he is, and whether or not that will work at 11:30 has been discussed and doubted a lot lately. As for me, I think it can be summed up thusly: He's not going to stop being inherently hilarious just because he's replacing someone who had no problem watering down his humor and was successful doing so. I don't think Conan's the least bit interested in doing comedy he doesn't laugh at himself, and besides -- Letterman isn't either, and a lot of people still watch him at 11:30.
So, whatever happens with our Conesy in L.A., at least we had 16 years with an amazing and unapologetically original host. Farewell, "Late Night with Conan O'Brien". May you and Pimpbot 5000 rest in peace.
And, as an added bonus, they did a "best of" bloopers reel. :bugs: It's on the link...I couldn't figure out how to embed it. Scroll to the bottom of the page to watch it.
