What You Missed Last Night: Conan screws up a comedy bit
I love it when comedy sketches don't go right. That can often be funnier than the sketch itself. Last night, Conan O'Brien played a game called "Sanford or Steele," where Andy Richter had to guess whether a quote was from Governor Mark Sanford or romance-novelist Danielle Steele. Richter asks to phone-a-friend and the friend is Fabio. It always irks me when the appearance by a celeb is prerecorded and they try to act as if it isn't (this happens on Letterman's show sometimes), so it's funny to see it backfire once.

Hulu sux bananas. Why can't videos be posted so that most of the world can actually see them?

What I missed just now: This STUPID hulu clip that didn't play because I had to submit my age to watch a clip broadcast on NBC.
Call us when it's on YouTube and we can actually see it.
That being said, WTF was Fabio doing that he couldn't appear on "The Tonight Show" live like all of Conan's guests. He didn't even have to be in LA, he could have Skyped it or phoned it in (phone a friend, duh!) like WWTBAM!
Conan, next time get celebs most people don't have to Google or Wiki to find out wtf they are. :-P

Stupid geo-blocking...
You see, Hulu/NBC, I'd love to watch this show with commercials on Hulu, but you give me no choice... I have to resort to torrenting in order to watch it (commercial-free btw)...
So there you go, as long as these companies continue with their geo-blocking rubbish, I will continue to download these shows (without commercials), even though I'd be more than willing to watch them legally on Hulu (with commercials)... Bad business decision, methinks...

It's not Hulu's fault. It's just licensing problems in other countries.
You see this a lot when it comes to things like Japanese products coming to America and such.

Yeah, here you go again with stupid HULU. Nice blog post. No really, thanks for sharing with the REST OF THE WORLD.
PS this is, like, the 45,000th time I have posted to STOP USING HULU. I'm glad to see that I now not the only one who is annoyed. What is wrong with you people??? Do you do this on purpose because you like to alienate your non-US audience???
