Conan acts like a (creepy, imperious) boss in sendup of performance reviews

Nobody likes the annual job evaluation (unless there's a raise, maybe). But "as someone who runs a company, I've been told that it is my job to occasionally have performance reviews," said Conan O'Brien, "CEO of Conaco," on Conan. So, he put on "serious" glasses, showed his alpha-boss dominance by throwing stuff around, and threatened and mocked his employees, mixing in a little sexual harassment for the fun of it. The result is an often-funny, irreverent caricature of a bad performance review, and while it is mostly safe for work, maybe wear headphones if the boss is within hearing distance. —Peter Weber
