Man, Conan had the best recurring bits. In The Year 2000, Desk Drive, Pierre Bernard’s Recliner of Rage, the Walker Texas Ranger lever, masturbating bear.
I was always impressed LaBamba could hit the high note here.
I haven’t seen this bit probably since it aired – completely forgot about it – but something, somewhere *deep* in the dead-letter neuron part of my brain started singing the “in the year 2000” from this bit when I read the link title. Weird!

I was so happy they kept doing this bit after the year 2000. Makes it that much funnier.
“In the year 2000, Ballpark franks will no longer plump when you cook them, but rather moan when you suck them.” – Andy Richter
In the year 2000, a black man will invent the YoYoYo lolololol
That’s lived rent free in my brain for the last 20 years! So glad to see this posted here.
Rectum? That joke damn near killed em.
you listening to the robert smigel episode too?
Conan was one of a kind. I highly doubt Jim Carrey would have done a bit like this with anyone else.
My fave is James Lipton marrying Ice-T, so that he can go by James Lipton Ice-T.
Also dancing with the manatee
That was a good one
Another nostalgia video with very few comments/karma is instantly #1 on the front page.
In a zoom meeting right now and the presenter said, “In the year 2000” and my mind immediately had Andy echo it.
Maybe I’m not Conan-pilled enough but I thought this bit was annoying and not really funny.
The prophecy was true. Carrots are still #1.
I love how after the Irish joke, the camera quickly flashes to Conan’s reaction.
LaCoste has the alligator.

This fucking phrase literally lives rent free in my head due to the echolalia
Hilarious! Just realized the year 2000 bit reminds me of Carson doing Carnac.
Oh wow I was just thinking about this old segment the other day. These were hilarious
The MASK 2 joke nearly took me out of my seat
This bit has lived in my head rent-free for 24+ years.
I love the fact that this bit continued well after the year 2000, and became even funnier.
And now “In the year 2000.” is going to be stuck in my head for a week.
The punchline to “brain sucking aliens will invade the earth…” should’ve been, “… they will starve” XD
The mask joke was funny but also reminded of how sad that movie—and the life of the real Rocky Dennis—was.
Lol
Conan was the best in late night television. Much more entertaining than the other late night talk shows.
Love how la bamba broke after the carrot joke
