Conan O'Brien was just doing these joke SAT Prep questions and one about Yao came up. It was: Yao Ming:Basketball Sensation from China::Bill Clinton:Burning sensation from Thailand.
Man I swear Conan is freakin hilarious! Its too bad he comes on so late. He is my favorite late night host.
I hope one day, Yao and Triumph (the puppet dog) team up to do a little comedy together: "Shaquille O'Neal has a great game....for me to POOOOP on"
God I love Conan... Wouldn't it be sweet if Yao was eventually invited to be on the show? I shiver to think of all the jokes that nutty Irishman could come up with.

yao mentioned (kinda) on......conan o'brien After being mentioned on Law and Order a couple of days ago, last night he was mentioned on Late Night waith Conan O'Brien show. It was in his SAT analogies, it was: Yao Ming is to Basketball senstation from China as Bill Clinton is to burning sensation from Taiwan. PS: Is Conan still on @ 3 AM in Houston?
no biggie but just to clarify: Thailand (formerly known as Siam): Capital: Bangkok Location: Southeast Asia, next to Burma along the Bay of Bengal Language: Thai Famous foods: various curries, pad thai Notable features: beautiful beaches, nice pagodas, lively (though HIV-filled) prostitution industry, terrible and confusing portrayal by Chow Yun-Fat in "The King and I". Taiwan (formerly known as Formosa, or in international sports as Chinese Taipei): Capital: Taipei Location: East Asia, an island off the coast of China Language: Chinese, Taiwanese Famous foods: traditional Chinese, Japanese cuisine Notable features: Palace Museum (greatest collection of Chinese art in the world), home of the most politically sensitive citizenry in the world, and the most likely cause of World War III Hey, lots of people make the same mistake. It just seems a bit more likely that Clinton got his burning sensation from Thailand, that's all...
"burning sensation" means, most likely, gonorrhea from hot chicks in Thailand. But i don't get why Clinton either. I only know the cigar story,
Okay, normally when you are about to leave high school for college, they make you take this test called the SAT (Scholastic Aptitude Test) so they can tell how smart you are when you go to apply for college. Some of the most famous questions on that test are the ones where they do analogies, like "night is to day as ________ is to slow" and you have to fill in the blank. The answer to this one would be "fast" because night is the opposite of day and the opposite of slow is fast. He's just saying "Yao Ming is to Basketball sensation from China as (former president) Bill Clinton is to burning sensation from Taiwan." It's really just a joke about president Clinton, but he used Yao in it because it made the joke work better.
Send in a message to the Late Night w/ Dave Letterman CBS Mailbag...See if he'll read a short question about Ming on the air. http://www.cbs.com/latenight/lateshow/#
HI, davidwu & DallasThomas, Thanks very much for your kindful and detailed explanation. I really love this place now.
Taiwan'S sex industry is bigger than Thailand! Just that thai whores are cheaper because of economics reason. Been there, Done THAT! Taiwan is the place for goodlooking WHORES!
Thailand's notorious underage prostitution industry is well known in the filthy businessman circles...
The prostitution/skin trade is covered also in the well known tourist guides. I don't know about underage but most of the girls I saw in strip joints there were not that young, some were young looking but that's about it. I think one perception is that because most of the women are tiny in proportion to western women (for whatever reason) to think of them as being younger.
