And Now, Bears Doing Aerobics

Conan O’Brien is ramping up the Team Coco activities in advance of the debut of his new TBS show. Yesterday there was some kind of 24-hour live feed into the writing staff’s office, a highlight of which was these bears doing aerobics (BEAROBICS!). As it turns out, people in bear suits can be funny even when they’re not masturbating or punching a woman.

In related Conan news, he’s released the guest list for his first week of shows:

• Monday, Nov. 8 – First Guest Poll winner, Seth Rogen and musical guest Jack White

• Tuesday, Nov. 9 – Tom Hanks, Jack McBrayer and musical guest Soundgarden

• Wednesday, Nov. 10 – Jon Hamm, Charlyne Yi and musical guest Fistful of Mercy

• Thursday, Nov. 11 – Michael Cera, Julie Bowen and comedian Jon Dore [via THR]

The First Guest Poll is obviously a joke, but still funny: alongside stars like Justin Bieber, Lady Gaga, and Jack Nicholson are choices like REO Speedwagon, the sultan of Brunei, Thomas Pynchon, and “The full cast of the 2004 live-action Fat Albert movie (not including Kenan Thompson).” Oh man, that last one gets my vote. Anything that doesn’t include Kenan Thompson always wins.
