Long, tall TV gingersnap Conan O’Brien officiated at the wedding of his costume designer Scott Cronick. On his show! Team Coco has been broadcasting from NYC for the week, and since gay marriage isn’t legal in California (Fuck PropH8!) the couple figured they would get married during their week in NYC. Conan offered them to be able to “do it right” on his show.
It was supposedly be the first same-sex marriage on late night television. That’s awesome. It’s especially awesome for Cronick, seeing as he probably didn’t have to pay O’Brien anything. Do you know how much weddings cost? For a gay wedding, multiply that by 5. It’s like a syndrome. A lucky few of us here in the US have been granted the long overdue equal right to marry, so many of us are making up for lost time by putting on the Kate Middleton.
Your officiant is usually one of the lesser expenses encountered, but Conan could really make bank by putting his services out there for other gay couples. Mr. Cronick and his partner David Gorshein got a bargain.
The wedding will take place tonight on Conan’s TBS show. What – grab for ratings what? No, Conan is far too chill to do something like that. Some of you may find him to be a cross between Woody Woodpecker and a oversized bar of white chocolate. But others find him to be a hot ginger dream. Count me among the latter.
p.s. I totally teared up. Did you?

Conan can do no wrong. Classy as a motherfucker.
Okay, i am not a fan of Conan, he kind of annoys me, but still this is sweet of him. Of all the gay hate in the world, at least he doesnt give a damn about them being gay or not!
Conan is too weird for me…and I don’t find him remotely attractive either, even though I do have a “thing” for some of the gingers I’ve seen on this site.
Well, that sums it up, Conan is not attractive, therefore his bringing gay marriage to light and offering his support and genorosity to two men that are so obviously in love w each other is null and void according to jimmy. I love Conan for what he did, I believe that it was a totally unselfish thing he did. Alanis morissette does gay marriage too. Fuck off Jimmy.
YESSSSS!!!!
Not attracted to Conan physically but holy shit is he awesome to watch on TV!
“since gay marriage isn’t legal in California (Fuck PropH8!)”
Well…yeah and who is to blame for that – not the voters per se, but the courts which allowed a whole needless campaign against those “activist judges” who ignore “precedent”, “black letter law” and “history”. It is not difficult to believe 2-3% of the total 52 percent of voters who said no were saying no to the judges, rather no to gay marriage.
Anyways, New Jersey, Maryland etc would have gay marriage – judging by the polls – if they had direct democracy. Likewise, in California, you only need to persuade 2 percent of voters to change their minds – I understand gay marriage will be on the 2012 ballot, and given the polls the voters will easily overrule Proposition 8 before the courts do (the case is currently stuck in the appeals process).
That pushing the envelope stint was hilarious.
