    Wanna see what that room looked like in 2009 right after Conan O’Brien ended his Late Night show? Look here: https://www.flickr.com/photos/dennisdegan/13984601148/

    This was back when the show was genuinely funny and creative.

    So why can’t they still do stuff like this from time to time. Steve Allen did this sort of thing throughout his whole career. Dave is at his best when he wings it and has fun. The current show does not give one that impression.
