Conan O’Brien has a recurring segment on his show called “Secrets.” While I think Conan’s show is quite funny, the jokes at times can be somewhat average. However, what really does it for me is the presentation.
For example, in my article entitled In The Year 2000…, its not the jokes that make the skit so funny, its the dude singing “In The Year 2000…” over and over again…
Likewise, in the following skit, the narrator constantly whispers “Secrets…” to the tune of dramatic music playing in the background… and then Tom drops another bombshell!
Enjoy!
My name is Michael McKinlay and I live in Calgary, Alberta Canada. Although I was born here, I have lived in a few other places in Western Canada such as, Saskatoon, Regina, Medicine Hat, and Edmonton. I also spent time in Hong Kong and Japan. [
I see what you mean about the jokes being average. That Apollo joke is truly awful!
The whole thing is funnier. Here is a transcript of all of the Hanks secrets. There are also a host of others.

Well, I think they’re hilarious at least.
