If you thought seeing Conan with a beard was weird, wait until you see Conan with a beard razzing Google VP Vic Gundotra. Really weird. And incredibly funny. The full, 48-minute clip includes bonus Andy Richter action. Watch it!

Al-Qaeda Endorse Microsoft Zune on Conan

newVideoPlayer("/conan_zune.flv", 506, 423,""); Those who’ve been tuning in to Conan O’Brien may have noticed a certain endorsement made by the al-Qaeda.

Because there’s nothing terrorists like more than hanging out in caves, cranking up the Zune and watching Bill Bellamy break it down in his vintage MTV clips. [Thanks Brian!]

Now that the writer’s strike is over, Conan should be swimming in a-list material, but it appears that his love affair with OSX features is too hard to resist.
