Conan and Cannolis Brought Out the Dirty Talk in Paula Deen

Chef Paula Deen appears so wholesome and grandmotherly, yet she let fly many a coy innuendo the other night on Late Night With Conan O'Brien.

It started out mild.

"I had a date like you once," she told Conan as he got overzealous with the Amaretto. OK, typical Conan co-cooking flirtation.

And then,

"Throw your nuts in," said Paula, followed by much mugging for the camera. Still pretty par for the course. Until...

"I'll put and you hold...shove it in...now we're going to stuff our cannoli shells...now we're going to get our shells and we're going to stick it in, here i'll help you put it in." That's what she said.

"I need a cigarette after this," said the predictably flustered Conan.

"You know that's the difference between a nice girl and a good girl?" asked Paula.

[whispers] "A nice girl will help you put it in, a good girl won't at all."

"My daddy told me that."

Sounds like Paula's daddy is creepy. Also, I don't think I ever want to eat a cannoli. The ones made in this demo by Paula and Conesey were deep fried, then dipped in colored sugars.

Watch the whole episode including a segment with the hilarious Kathy Griffin at NBC.com.

No, this isn't a hipster who has come to Williamsburg to upset the throne of Girl Talk (too fat for Wmsbrg). But this lad is coming to claim a throne alarmingly soon.

It's Jimmy Fallon, pictured above doing the "Sears catalog" pose. Hard to believe, but he'll be taking over the Late Night slot in less than a month-- March 2!

Why, I remember when he was just the cute guy who couldn't hold it together on SNL.*

Wait. That isn't what he looked like then. But that is a much-younger Jimmy. His caption, from the Late Night with Jimmy Fallon website:

"I look like a five year old in an 18 month old’s clothes. Go ahead, say something about my saddle shoes mother f****r."

*Scanner Colleen is a longtime Conan devotee and is being very fair by not judging Jimmy's hosting skills before seeing them in action.

You may have heard that Jay Leno is going to move to the 10:00 spot on June 1 when Conan O'Brien takes over the "Tonight Show", and while Leno is going to keep his (or Johnny Carson's) Burbank studio, O'Brien will be moving into a new studio... 3,000 miles from New York.

And as the New York Post points out:

TV shows reflect the places where they are made - think of Oprah and Chicago or the "Today" show and Rockefeller Center. It's part of their show- business DNA.

That means the "Tonight Show" will be changing more than its host when it moves from Burbank to Universal Studios this summer.

So will Conan keep his cool and stay (relatively) funny or turn into the celebrity kiss-up willing to pander to a more traditional audience at an earlier time slot as did the unfunny Leno?

Does this mean no more "masturbating bear" or sneaking knowing stares to the camera when the celebrity being interviewed is a complete moron?

Although "Late Night with Conan O'Brien" has mostly been a mainstream program and like all late night shows a promotional tool for the movie industry, it seemed to take a few chances with bizarre comedy bits, the occasional offensive joke and generally sought to push mundane television comedy a little further than the others when permitted. Will it keep it's edge, though fairly blunt in comparison to cable, when O'Brien reaches La La Land or will Letterman regain the ratings title?
