Does Conan drive a Taurus? An American FWD station wagon would really fit the bill, though i do love my Buick Lesabre sedan.

That sketch was written by a phantom.

If you include reaction videos it's way past 28 million views.

The Washington sketches were hilarious, but to be fair, not actually accurate, because the U.S. inherited the English system of measurements. That didn't change with the American Revolution. The metric system didn't exist for a long time afterwards. The U.K. adopted the metric system in the 20th century.

Is there an easy way to know how to send joke ideas to comedians you like

Nate obviously wanted so badly to talk about the "invention of television" bit after Conan praised the SNL Washington sketches, but he knew he couldn't.

“Washington” is French Chefs Kiss.
I love this show.
Thanks Conan and Nate.
Gower Gulch Dennys IS where it’s always happening.

Nate has his craft honed to an unbelievable degree. It would be crazy to him to do anything besides what he does. If you want something different fine just get someone else.

Best part about that sketch was that everyone knows 5,280 feet in a mile !!! That part killed me

I don’t think for a second that Conan isn’t grateful to Lorne and he clearly thinks the world of him. That said, it was always beyond obvious to me that Lorne wasn’t the thing that ever made SNL good. SNL had good years in spite of Lorne.

Mikey Day and Streeter Seidell shout out! Possibly SNL's greatest writing duo of all time.

Most of the best SNL sketches in the last few years always seem to have Mikey Day writing. That show is being held together by him and Heidi

"All of it is exactly accurate" well except that none of it is accurate, since all of the "imperial" system of inches, feet, yards, miles, and the rest, had existed for centuries, and the metric system hadn't been invented yet. Good work, Harvard boy.

Conan. Do you have anything to say about the Charlie Kirk sh**ting? We’d love to hear your honeyed words on the matter. Thank you.
