Maybe I'm the only fan of both Conan O'Brien and Hunter S. Thompson...

...they're a pretty odd pair. Which is what makes this video, of Conan's visit to Thompson's "compound" (really) to "drink and shoot things," so funny.

For the record, I think the writing on Conan's show - like most late-night shows - was pretty corny and awful, and probably will continue to be. But Conan himself has a really funny personality, which is why his "in the field" segments are his best material. I also really like:

Conan in Finland,

Conan in Ireland, part 1 and part 2,

and Conan plays old-timey baseball
