UPDATED: It is probably best that Sarah Palin doesn’t hunt at the North Pole. Here is a Holiday-themed video from tonight’s Conan on TBS, which features a chance encounter between the former Vice Presidential candidate and Rudolph the Red-Nosed Reindeer. But as a commenter pointed out, Jimmy Kimmel did a similar bit on his ABC show 2 weeks ago, on Dec. 7. (Coincidentally, that episode was rebroadcast tonight right after Conan went off the air.) This is actually Kimmel’s second Palin-killing-Rudolph skit. He first tackled the subject in December 2008 with a claymation Palin. Here are Conan and Kimmel’s clips from this month as well as Kimmel’s 2008 video:
TV Editor Nellie Andreeva - tip her here.
Loading ...
Kimmel did the same bit tonight. It was funnier too.
She’s a joke. Glad to see someone treating her like one. It’s shocking to watch the media treat her as a viable candidate for the presidency. Journalism is in critical condition in this country.
Hey sport, those who live in glass houses…………
Obama is a joke. He’s not a viable president. And he’s a very stupid little man. Obama is a scumbag and you got duped by the conman. Obama the ignorant, reporting for duty.
Someone’s tinfoil hat is screwed on a wee bit too tightly…
Wanna guess who?
You’re an idiot.
Joel this site is for adults. Ask your parents for permission before using the internet.
“She’s a joke. . . .”
I agree! (If by “she” you mean girly-Pres, Barbarack Obama.)
At least Democrats and Republicans should be able to agree that Conan’s bit was a failure compared to Kimmel’s (two week earlier) bit.
Funny, yet poignant.
I’d like to see a few of these how brow elite smart liberal celebs and MSNBC commentors in the Alaska wilderness. Every since Sarah appeared on the stage Hollywood is scared of her. It’s that simple. Seriously I would love see some libs try to hunt an actual caribou,elk,or even handle a Grizzly Bear.
Mind you I don’t mind the spoofs on her. She’s proved there is a libral double standard on women in politics.
I don’t think liberals think poorly of her because she’s a woman…
The male liberals don’t like her because she makes them look like girly men and the liberal women hate that she proved that you can have it all, beauty, career and family.
Since when did liberal women become anti-feminist?
Sarah Palin is an embarrassment to the human species and so are people that try defend her like you.
And you are an embarrassment to your family, friends, neighbors, state, country, and fellow basement dwellers.
Oh please. The right has taken more than their fair share of shots at Michelle, Hillary, Nancy, Barbara, etc etc etc.
Oh wait – that’s different, because those women actually have JOBS, they don’t sit around facebooking all day.
I do worry about Sarah, though. Don’t you think she looks tired?
Jobs? what the hell does Michelle do? Is she still proud to be an American or has it went away with her stupid husbands approval? That fat ankled bulldyke Hillary does what? travel around the world insulting other leaders and making the USA look like fools? I guess i could let her off the hook for not bowing down to them like the wussy in the white house, Obama the weak.
Thanks for proving my point, hatebot. HAND GFY.
Wow, you really need to take a serious English class to learn how to write a correct sentence in our language. Guess you didn’t do too well in your ESL classes, eh, Joel?
As a non-American, I can safely say that people like you are what make Americans look like fools. I don’t think you can logically offer a rebuttal, considering you’re American. Your ignorance would astound me, if I weren’t already numb to the American Republican rhetoric. If someone tells me they’re Republican, that’s the last thing I hear them say.
hmmm Michell has a job? what looking out for fat kids
I’m an Independent. Sometimes I vote republican and sometimes I vote liberal.
Any republican who would vote for this dimwit: Sarah Palin or even praise her is an idiot. Why? Because it is OBVIOUS that the entire nation knows she’s a douche bag with no brain.
Joe Biden comes off like Albert Einstein compared to her and that is bad. If you want to figure out who the dumb asses are than look at those republicans who back her. They either:
A. Know the obvious, which is that she’s a dumb ass. Which means they have no principles.
or
B. Think she is a intelligent republican. Which means that they should have never gotten a high school diploma.
If you are going to vote republican than vote for the one’s who don’t even acknowledgment her. Since those are the ones with intelligence and/or principles.
“I’m an Independent. Sometimes I vote republican and sometimes I vote liberal. . . .”
That’s as far as anyone needs to read of your post before concluding that you’re a dolt and listening to your opinion is a waste of time.
Sarah Palin represents the modern pretty American woman:
1. Spoiled brats who never grew up.
2. Has arrogant voices.
3. But, gives great b.j.’s so guys put up with them. : )
Spoken like a true liberal. I guess that would make Obama a modern woman.
1. He’s the biggest spoiled baby I’ve ever saw.
2. His voice makes me want to throw up.
3. He goes around the world sucking muslim d*ck.
Wow. You both sound like total chick magnets.
If Leno did the same skit, the headline would be “Leno stealing from Kimmel”.
To be fair, Jay did have an incident recently in which he and his staff completely failed to give proper credit to two people for a Taylor Swift bit.
Conan, on the other hand, is well-liked and respected in the comedy writer community, so it’s easy to see why people are more inclined to see this more as a coincidence/honest mistake/”homage” (stretching with that last one, but you get the point) rather than an act of “stealing”.
Actually, once footage of someone shooting a reindeer on camera shows up during the holiday season, the joke really writes itself.
Just so y’all know, the Kimmel was a rebroadcast from 12/07, so…
Why are these talk show host being mean to Rudolf?
The one hour dramas writers are being mean to Santa too. I watched two Christmas episodes this year where Santa gets blown up. One was the show “Bones”.
I don’t like people being mean to Santa an Rudolf. Next one being mean.. I’m gonna kick their ass.
That goes for you too Sarah Palin.
As a Hollywood liberal, I have to say you’re right Chuck. Sarah, and the people who believe she is a viable political candidate that would be good for our country, scare the living shit out of me. It’s not a ‘libral double standard’, because I’ll shoot a bear in the face with an elk if Sarah would get out of politics and stick to reality whoring.
“As a Hollywood liberal…” Nuff said. If Hollywood fell into a giant sinkhole tomorrow, America and the world would be better off.
Kimmel and Co. did a much better job. Surprised, but it was.
I pray for the day when Sarah Palin is killed by a giant grizzly bear maybe one of my friends will do this good deed. I want Sarah to scream in terror and agony as my grizzly bear buddy from up north uses his massive claws to shred her torso. I want her to die screaming as the grizzly bear eats her alive and saves her neck and head for the end. I want Sarah to see and feel the grizzly bear eat her arms and chomp her legs off and before she bleeds to death I want her to remember how much fun she had shooting that caribou on her phony Alaska TLC program. That’s my kind of pic-a-nic.
@Yogi Bear.
Fail.
Sincerely,
Reasonable Humans Who Don’t Fantasize About Bears Attacking People They Disagree With
I dream that dream constantly. I have wanted to see Sarah run smack into a Mama Grizzly – without a gun – and we’ll finally have an episode of that damn show of hers that’s worth watching (of course, with the obligatory “This show contains violence…” warning.)
“I want Sarah to scream in terror and agony…”
The only ones screaming in terror and agony will be you and the rest of the deranged and obsessed when Sarah Palin is called President Palin. And I’ll be savoring the schadenfreude.
I pray for the day a Hollywood Liberal (or any kind of Liberal) actually makes a cogent argument about Sarah Palin contrasting her term as Governor against Barack Obamas term as …. community organizer.
It will never happen.
Really? Wow! Just better hope that Sarah doesn’t become the POTUS. Secret Service will be stopping by to have a little chat with you. Mark your calendar. November 7th, 2012. There should be a loud knock at your door. Remember, when they haul you away not to pick up the soap bar in the shower.
The best political candidate for President is Ron Paul! Vote for Ron Paul in 2012!
Leno does steal…. Ever since he got to know about rove from Australia doing initial introductory bits about the guests he did so on his tonight show.
He for a bit had the celebrities drive around in a car-ala top gear!! Etc and so many examples.
As far as republican or democrats go – they’re all the same one borrows and spends and the other taxes and spends – in both scenarios we are screwed!
They only care about defense, halliburton and media empires.
Good GOD…you stupid a-hole liberals need to chill out about Palin. Shut the F… UP and stop whining all the time when someone comes along that is better then you in every area of life!!!! HaHaHa it is funny to listen to you liberals whine and get scared of Palin though!! LOSERRRRRRS
“Conan, on the other hand, is well-liked and respected in the comedy writer community…” Um, not even close. The best bits on Conan’s show were always by better writers, like Smigel. The fact that he’s ripping off Jimmy Kimmel is excused by a typical ‘Team Coco’ apologist by a Jay Lenno slam.
The fact that he’s doing to the hilarious George Lopez what he claimed Leno did to him is also ignored by his dwindling audience of whiners.
Kimmel consistently has the best pop culture parodies. Glad to see he’s finally getting some recognition.
I laughed at these, all of them. They were quite funny.
As a College Educated; Conservative, Christian, Libertarian, Mensan (I think that covers all of it and yes it is here to serve a purpose for this comment)… I find that most of those commenting on Sarah Palin vs. Rudolph are vapid at best when it comes to blaming others for insipid stupidity based on political leanings. Also, calling someone else stupid or being ‘afraid’ of her just shows how sophomoric you actually are. Grow a spine and stop E-wetting yourself.
Frankly; I don’t care about my personal accomplishments, but for the purpose of this comment I listed it to prove a point. People make assumptions and in the case some of you really look like asses. Not every conservative is dumb nor is every liberal daffy.
For the value of the comedy, these are quality. Reminds me of the good old days of funny satirical jabs at public figures when there was not so much carnal hate… Make more of them please.
Clearly a lot of deep thought and substance what you’re saying Joel. Your argument has really changed my way of thinking. Hey, quick suggestion: you might want to read some books I mean you might want to learn how to read and then read some books.
Ooh, burn.
Good one.
Convincing argument!
Dear Joel, bet you left your manhood at the KKK rally, you know, the one where you hid behind a white sheet and acted brave and all.
Ho hum. Old, boring attack by leftist loon. You do realize Obama’s party were founders of the KKK? And why not the customary reference to Hitler? It’s just not a leftist attack without a mention of Hitler’s name.
Kimmel has been doing revoiced animations nightly for at least a couple of months now. It’s weird that Conan and staff would tread into that territory. I’m sure they didn’t know, they certainly aren’t thieves, but it’s too bad they don’t have a better awareness of what’s going on with the other shows. In general, Kimmel is the one who started the trend of using bits in the monologue instead of all monologue jokes, so all the other shows have been borrowing his format for quite a few years now.
Don’t be stupid of course Conan’s writers stole the bit from Kimmel. They all know what the other shows are doing. They also steal from internet videos all the time.
Ahh, is someone bitter because the rest of the country isn’t as ignorant and as stupid as you? I hope Sarah does run for president because she has no prayer. It’ll be another landslide for Obama!
Sarah Palin didn’t create the Tea Party, but she certainly gave it a big boost.
If there is a Democrat/Obama landslide like the 2010 Democratic Landslide, there won’t be any Democrats in the Senate, House or White House after the 2012 elections.
Like the 63 house seat pick up by the republicans in 2010? Have you put on your blinders to block those results.
Sarah Palin won’t go away until we start IGNORING HER. If everyone who hates her would just ignore her, she’d be gone in about 9 months to a year. No more clicking on articles about her. No more posting about her, no more web traffic for her. If she’s on TV, switch the channel. No more talking about her. Just withdraw all energy and she will disappear back to sticks where most of us Americans (including Barbara Bush) would like to see her stay.
The old “finger in the ears while humming” defense. Haven’t you grown out of that phase yet?
You would be wrong. Palin’s popularity is wrapped around the heartland, the same people the democrat party and Hollywood have made fun of for years.
Snatchsquatch for President. Coming to a theater near you.
Your running for president? What’s your platform?
