*Oh my goodness. I have not laughed so hard so late at night (by myself) in a loooong time! I was watching Conan last night, and it was just out of control! Besides the fact that his self-deprecating humor is hilarious (e.g. "This is quality television at its best" when he goofs up) they had CRAZY stuff on last night! He was talking about how last year's "Fastest Menorah Ever" was a big hit around holiday time. So, they showed this menorah speeding across the screen with Conan in the background with a ridiculously funny expression! So then, he explains how this year they have added two new holiday treats to their repertoire: "Bungee Jumping Baby Jesus" and "Rocket Fruitcake" - OUT OF CONTROL! (No disrespect meant, btw.) All you see for the first "trick" is this baby Jesus figure (little child's doll-size) tied to a bungee cord by its ankle and bouncing up and down on screen, again with Conan laughing maniacally in the background. And in the next moment you see this fruitcake thing with flames coming out of one side, rocketing upwards. BUT TO TOP IT ALL OFF... He asks the prop guy to show all three feats at one time, so for like 30 seconds you see these three freaky holiday gigs happening all at once. Honestly, I don't know why I thought it was so freakin' hilarious, but I did!
(To top it all off, he did this special egg nog trick - he had it dispensed from a Kermit puppet into people's cups as if Kermit was vomiting. Omg. Out of control!)

My junior year in college, we had a rule that you had to get your laughs on before bed. For me it was usually The Daily Show, for my roomate it was Blind Date everynight at 1130. Most nights it was both though. heh.
Things are just funnier at the end of the day/late at night, no matter what.
