Jacques and Joe look back on a golden era of late-night comedy: NBC’s Late Night with Conan O’Brien! Characters like Triumph the Insult Comic Dog, Pimpbot 5000, the Masturbating Bear, and Abe Vigoda, and bits like “In The Year 2000”, “Conan Visits Finland”, and “If They Mated” are all given the Carnival Personnel treatment, unfortunately! And who could forget Conan’s best worst guest ever, Norm Macdonald! Don’t pull that “Walker: Texas Ranger” lever just yet! This episode is the krunk!

The new Sideshow’s here! The new Sideshow’s here!
This is the Sideshow you all (Jacques and Joe) have been waiting for! Finally, an in-depth, tedious, rambling, non-sequential, misremembered, quote-heavy analysis of one of the funniest movies ever made: Steve Martin’s The Jerk! If it weren’t for this masterpiece of understatement, Carnival Personnel might not exist, since Jacques and Joe would have nothing else in common, and no podcast name either! Say your prayers, gas-pumper! … Cut!
