Conan Plans Bare-Bones Halloween Show
'Late Night' will go all-skeleton for one night

The skeleton of Conan O'BrienConan O'Brien has done an all-claymation
show, shot a show opening during a blackout and taken viewers to
Finland. On Halloween, the "Late Night" host will break more
television ground.

In keeping with the spirit of the spooky holiday, the Tuesday, Oct. 31
edition of the show will be an all-skeleton version. As O'Brien says,
"This may be the finest hour of television NBC has ever produced ...
with skeletons."

The flesh-free episode is a re-creation of a "Late Night" broadcast
from May. Conan's skeleton's guests will be the bones of Larry King
(suspenders included), the skeleton of "House" star Omar Epps and the
frame of actress Sheila Kelley ("Singles," "Matchstick Men"), who will
demonstrate a pole-dancing workout that's become popular in L.A.

RIP OFFF!!! Jimmy Kimmel has been doing big Holloween shows for 3 years
now, he was a severed head that sat atop his desk for an entire night
and the transparent ghost last year! The middle year was on a weekend

You don't know anything! Kimmel was ripping off Steve Allen, who
invented Halloween in 1956.

And Regis & Kelly do some great Halloween shows, too. Even if you don't
like their regular shows, the costume and makeup work they do on
Halloween make them worth watching (there's virtually none of the usual
banter).

Before she went to the big house, Martha Stewart had a funny Halloween
show. It opened with her wearing hair curlers and popping open a can
of (warm?) Budweiser beer. Other low-prole props too.

or something and his show wasn't on.

The show also features "Arrested Development" star Will Arnett's
skeleton doing an "In the Year 2000" segment.

The skeleton episode will mark the second time "Late Night" has recast
an episode. In May 2003, the show did an episode in clay animation (of
which O'Brien similarly said, "This may be the best show we've ever
done -- in clay"). "Late Night" has also broadcast from a Circle Line
boat in the waters around Manhattan and shot the opening of a show
using only reserve power when New York was under a blackout in 2003.

Perhaps most famously, O'Brien traveled to Finland earlier this year
and filed a travelogue from the country, where he met with his
doppelganger, President Tarja Halonen.
