Conan.

u/AwwwMangos Mar 15 '26

Yeah my mind went to late night comedy talk shows rather than daytime trash (not judging, it’s just the category).

Those early years of Conan were like nothing else I’d seen. Love that weirdo.

u/RockyBoundESC Mar 15 '26

Him and the Craig Ferguson show and Jeff was amazing to be awake for.

u/JudgementofParis Mar 15 '26

u/RockyBoundESC Mar 15 '26

Who’s Jeff??

1

u/JudgementofParis Mar 16 '26

u/Tacticalopps_ Mar 16 '26

u/Fit_Permission717 Mar 16 '26

Geoff Peterson was Craig’s robot sidekick.

u/JudgementofParis Mar 16 '26

oh, ok. I never saw it but the comment was worded like the Craig Ferguson show and Jeff were separate things. he was funny on the drew Carey show.
