Another Morning with Team Coco

This morning I woke up to this.

Normally, when I unwillingly wake up early on my days off, I start the day in an irritated mood. This morning, however, I didn’t really mind because I knew Team Coco was still broadcasting for 24 hours straight and I was, admittedly, pretty excited to see what those Conan staffers were up to. I tuned in to see bears doing aerobics, followed by a sleep-deprived session of Intern Twister. Then, Aaron Bley introduced us to an amazing Mariachi Band to really wake everyone up.

It worked.

Yesterday, when I finally managed to peal my eyes off of my laptop during Punishment Bingo, I missed when George Lopez and Dog the Bounty Hunter showed up. I let an awkward first date, late-night zombie invasion, food eating contest, stand-up comedy and a lot more slip by me. Luckily, I’m not that broken up about not watching these moments live because, (if you’ll notice the links) they’re all on Team Coco’s Youtube channel.

I just finished watching the staffers improvise a puppet show that took place on Triumph the Insult Dog’s old theatre. (Sadly, Triumph didn’t make an appearance like a lot expected.) The two puppets were funny enough and answered ridiculous questions from the viewers.

Then the puppets informed us that they had a huge announcement.

The first guest on the show will be chosen by the viewers. Just head over to Team Coco’s poll and vote for who you want to see on the first episode of Conan’s return. The poll options include (Pedo the) Pope Ratzinger, Lady GaGa, Tom from Myspace, Justin Bieber, Jack Nicholson and a few others.

The puppets also gave us the scoop on Conan’s first week of guests. Jack White, Seth Rogen, Tom Hanks, Jack McBrayer, Soundgarden and John Hamm, Charlene Yi. Fistful of Mercy, Dahni Harrison, Michael Cera, Julie Bowen & John Door would also be guests in the premiere week. (I’m not going to lie, I may have forgotten one or two…)

The 24-hour shenanigans came to a close with a final dance party including a valiant return of everyone’s favorite Dancing Taco, a blind T-rex almost falling down the stairs and an epic dance-off.

So, yeah. That’s how I spent my morning.
…and it was great.
