Amusing sketch, and yet somehow, I expected there to be
Visible Closed Captions running underneath it.


(Also, the monologue crack about 'white power steering' was
supremely perfectly delivered. If it was improvised, it was a great
improvisation. If it was written beforehand, it was delivered with
extraordinary deftness.)

Yes.

Of course, the Visible Closed Captions would be different than they've
been before, now that Conan is on TBS instead of NBC, and is thus being
closed-captioned by NCI instead of VITAC.

Also, yes. I do picture that having been said by someone in the writers'
room earlier in the day. Perhaps one of the people who were photographed
in rabbit suits for one of the coffee table books.
