I gotta set the VCR for this one: In an unprecedented move, NBC's "Late Night with Conan O'Brien" will broadcast an entire episode in clay animation. The experimental and groundbreaking episode airs Thursday, May 15 (12:35 AM - 1:35 AM on NBC). "This may be the best show we've ever done...in clay," noted O'Brien. The show, which has been in production for months, is a complete clay animated re-creation of an episode of "Late Night" from October 2002 - from the opening, to the monologue, comedy, guests - even the bumpers that lead in and out of commercial. Guests on the episode are "Jackass" star Johnny Knoxville, comedian Richard Lewis and musical guest David Bowie. In addition, the show features O'Brien's recurring look into the future in the one of the show's signature sketches: "In the Year 2000" with surprise guest Mr. T
I love the "In the Year 2000" bit. By the way, the other day, he had a clay set out for people to see, don't tell me that's the one they are using because the Conan clay figure looked horrible.
