I thought this was one of the underrated "at-the-desk" comedy bits on Conan's Late Night show. I understand from a television producer's perspective that keeping up with time in the run of a show is important. Everything has to be timely and if you need to, you can wrap up a segment or stretch segment long enough as long as everything fits in.
The bit "Frankenstein Wastes a Minute of Our Time" is both lovable and playful about being on time for a show. And it always ends the way you don't expect it to end because the premise is to lead people into a trail of suspense only to pay them off with the ultimate let down.
Gotta love basic, formulaic comedy.
