The Buttondown Brain of Blythe Danner

That monologue by Conan O’Brien was top-notch. The musical number was spectacular and extremely well-written.

What is the deal with Blythe Danner? She referred to Bob Newhart, identifying him only as “that poor man.” (In a reference to an earlier bit by O’Brien that revolved around the venerable comedian/television legend being sealed into a chamber with only enough oxygen to live for the proscribed three hours that the network had alloted to the Emmycast. The gag being that, if anyone went over time on their acceptance speech, it might contribute to Newhart’s demise!)

That poor man? It’s Bob Fucking Newhart, you pretentious douchebag!

Perhaps it was irony. After observing Blythe Danner for over two decades, however, we are convinced that she a total stranger to The Big I.
