Ellie Kemper on Conan is as Adorable and Strange As Her Characters

Ellie Kemper was on Conan last night and like her characters, she was a small town girl who moved to the big city. She talked about her husband, taking up smoking for four days to look cool (yes, she practiced smoking), and getting stuck in Buddha's nostril in Japan, while her husband stayed behind to eat a bagel. Lesson learned Ellie. If you're going to try to prove you are worthy of eternal life in Japan, bring a buddy with you.

James Corden and Tom Hanks Cover The Entire Hanks-thology in 8 Minutes

He's off and running. James Corden had a great start last night taking over the Late Late Show. He had Reggie Watts, he had an emotional moment thanking his parents, he had the advice of the greats, he had a huge announcement from Mila Kunis, but what really put him over was this 8 minute re-enactment of every single Tom Hanks movie (yes even Bachelor Party, bet you forgot about that one).

Ben Stiller Gets Shot Out of a Cannon

With a little advice from Dave to tighten every muscle Ben Stiller gets shot out of a cannon outside the Ed Sullivan Theater on West 53rd street and lands head first on the hood of a cab. It's okay folks. Stiller walks away without a scratch. And so did the guy who got shot out of the cannon.

In case you're not exactly sure what a Zach Galifianakis shirt is, its a shirt filled with dozens of photos of Zach Galifianakis heads, arranged in a big random display.
