Captain Kirk Does Sarah Palin (figuratively)
If you’re like me, you probably didn’t, uh, “get” Sarah Palin’s last speech as the governor of Alaska. Something about tacos? Did I hear right? Thankfully, Conan O’Brien* was able to make sense of it through a very unique filter on his Tonight Show:
*As a matter of full disclosure, I have a history with Conan O’Brien. I started my career as a general production intern with Late Night back in December ’95. When I was an NBC Page, I became one of the studio pages for Saturday Night Live because of the recommendations of several Late Night staffers. In March ’98, I became a production assistant/office manager/intern coordinator for the show (among my interns were The Office’s Mindy Kaling and 30 Rock’s Lonny Ross). I also, in a very roundabout way, owe meeting my wife to the show. Everyone on the show, from Conan on down, was incredibly awesome. –Ron Motta
