A sketch has surfaced over at FunnyorDie.com starring Conan O'Brien. It appears to be a sketch from the Saturday Night Live episode that he hosted in 2001. The sketch was cut from the live airing of the show and hasn't been seen until now.
While watching the sketch you get the feeling that it was something that he always wanted to do on his own show but could never fit it in. The premise is pure Late Night but the sketch is way too long and too involved to have worked on a talk show.
The sketch also features Maya Rudolph and Chris Parnell who are sorely missed on SNL.
Sketches that have been cut from the show aren't often seen by the general public. Usually the only people who get to see them is the audience for the dress rehearsal. However, since Adam McKay and Will Ferrell are the main guys behind FunnyorDie.com, there's a good chance we will be treated to more lost goodies like this.
