Conan and the writers just got more willing to try anything because they just wanted to have fun on TV. I liked the novelty and originality but it was honestly a disaster. There were so many moments when the kids got antsy and they had to pull out distractions to keep them interested. I can tell a lot of those moments are edited out. Now when I tell people he did this, few find it hard to believe.
