    Conan is hilarious, and something different to boot. To be original and funny is a great thing.

    I remember a few years back when Conan first found out that H-Town was the only major market that didn't start his show right after Leno and was pretty shocked. He then found out that Gallery Furniture and Hilton Furiture were the two major late night sponsors on KPRC, so he started a "Who's the most annoying furniture guy contest..." and Matress Mac had someone drive his huge Gallery Furniture winnebago to NYC and park it in front of his freaking studio. Needless to say it got H-Town some good publicity that we have wacky furniture dudes here, and Hilton won "Most Annoying" because of his chainsaw. OOOH! And That's A Fact Jack!

    I just continually wonder why the French get to be their own race. No other country in the world gets to have its own race. Why does France (and French-speaking Canada, apparently) get to have its own race?

    If "French" is a race, then so is "American". So all those anti-American people out there? Racists!

    I haven't wanted to watch Conan this much in years.

    Conan O'Brien's Quebec Shows Stir Furor

    In the pre-taped skit that aired Thursday night, Triumph the Insult Comic Dog confronted visitors to Quebec City's Winter Carnival.

    When one couple confirmed they were French Canadian separatists, the grouchy puppet said, "Listen closely. Hear that? It's the sound of no one giving a," followed by an expletive bleep.

    "You're in North America, learn the language!" he hollered at another.

    Triumph asked a rotund man if he was a separatist, then suggested he might want to separate himself from doughnuts for a while. The skit also replaced street signs with insulting replicas, including one that mocked Canadian singer Celine Dion.


    Alexa McDonough, a member of Parliament for the New Democratic Party, said the sketch was "vile and vicious" and amounted to hate-mongering. McDonough said the government should demand its money back.

    Chum Television, which airs the show in Canada, issued an apology and removed the segment in a repeat broadcast.

    "It's wrong to spread the worst possible ethnic prejudices about Quebecers, which already exist in Canada," said Jean Dorion, president of the Quebec nationalist Saint-Jean-Baptiste Society.


    But businessman Peter Soumalias, said who helped bring the New York-based show to Toronto, said Canadians were taking the show too seriously.

    "It's a silly puppet that tells silly jokes," Soumalias said. "Most people find it funny."

    I'm sure everyone needed some closure on this heart wrenching issue... ;)

    "People of Quebec, I'm sorry," the host of NBC's "Late Night" show said in English, as a translator recited in French, with English subtitles, "People of Quebec, I'm an albino jackass."


    "We meant no harm with our comedy piece the other night," O'Brien continued, "translated" into French as: "The other night, I wet the bed like a little girl."


    "I was a stranger in a strange land and I was very insensitive," he went on, with the subtitle: "I have a small penis."
