Last night, Conan O'Brien proved that the Cold War is over, by documenting his recent visit to Cuba. On his show last night, he explained, "This is a very historic time. Relations between Cuba and the United States are finally starting to thaw. I thought this was an amazing opportunity for me to come to Cuba, talk to the people and get to know them." And learning how to explode his pelvis in a sexy dance!
As soon as President Obama announced that the U.S. would "normalize" relations with Cuba, O'Brien's team got working. As he explained to reporters last week, "I want[ed] to go as a comedian who’s making fun of himself and I want[ed] to try and make the Cuban people laugh. In that regard, I think we were successful.”
