Kind of a cute intro paragraph:<\/p>\n<blockquote><p>Since most of you were illegally sharing Conan video on the Web, we decided to put all the new video in one spot and update it occasionally.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>Apparently the show does a series of video spots featuring \"Triumph,\" a talking-dog hand puppet.  Judging by the \"Triumph Visits the 'Star Wars' Nerds\" clip, they're reasonably funny but fairly mean-spirited, verging on offensive.  Most of the clips on that page are Triumph pieces, and I'm not going to bother watching the rest of them.  But down at the bottom there's a series of brief \"Celebrity Secrets\" clips, in which William Shatner and George Takei (among others) reveal deep dark secrets of their past.  I found Shatner's very funny; Takei's funny enough to be worth watching; and the John Ritter and Snoop Dogg ones only mildly amusing.<\/p>\n\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>I&#8217;m always pleased when film and TV stars are willing to make fun of themselves.
