My good friend Andy Richter is with us.
Happy Inauguration Day, Andy.
Happy Inauguration Day.
It is a happy day.
It feels good, doesn't it?
Yeah, I thought it was a very lovely ceremony.
I really loved Biden's speech.
I thought he gave an amazing inauguration speech.
Yeah.
And Mike Pence had to confront Lady Gaga.
Those two have (chuckles),
I didn't see that moment actually.
[Andy] Oh really?
Was it awkward?
Oh, I don't know.
I just, I imagine at some point he was like,
"Miss Gaga, hello. Thank you."
(Conan laughing)
"Miss Gaga, I've heard of your work.
I'm a fan."
And on the car ride out to the airport
his wife was probably like,
"I saw you talking to that Lady Gaga."
(Conan laughs)
"Keep it in your pants next time, Pence."
[Andy] "Sorry, Mother."
(Conan laughs)
I thought it was absolutely lovely.
It was a wonderful ceremony.
Yeah.
I like when Garth Brooks came out.
It looked like he was walking into a saloon in a western.
Ya know, when he came walking out
and he had the hat and the boots
and it really did look like he had just,
I wanted to see him get on a horse and ride off afterwards.
Well yeah, but also, too,
he, like, hugged and kissed everybody.
Like, everyone else is being careful.
Not Garth.
Ya know, I'm sure they've all been tested.
They were all boiled.
(Andy laughs)
All the performers and everyone on that stage
was boiled for 20 minutes in hot liquid.
So, it was a very safe inaugural.
But, wow.
Just such a historic day.
And of course the inauguration was the big news.
All the cable networks covered it.
Here's a clip of CNN's coverage.
Do solemnly swear.
[Conan] Here is MSNBC during Biden's speech.
And then here's how Fox News covered it.
Under and over, 'cause you're stirring.
You wanna whip the air into it.
Apparently their plan is to just go
with an omelet marathon for the next four years.
It's gonna be a four-year omelet marathon.
(chuckles) That's terrible for your heart.
Really? Maybe, yeah.
Most doctors would say a two-year omelet marathon
is the recommended daily allowance.
Yes.
