3 Days 'Til Conan

Late Night with Conan O'Brien later in its run became a staple all over the world. Considering it was called Late Night, folks in different time zones caught an early glimpse of the show catching all that was the zany blunders of the red headed jokester before it even aired in the U.S. But his international reach only got larger and much sustained when he got the attention of the Finnish public. His striking resemblance to the country's president, a woman, attracted a hailstorm of fan reaction, and in an instant, Finland became Conan's own territory.

That was fully realized in 2005 when he visited the Scandanavian nation and chroniclized a whole week of shows to show his appreciation...and entertainment...to a whole snowy white land which, on a map, looks very much like a penis that got grouped up with other penises (Sweden, Norway? too much sex ed, little geography?)
