Book Description

October 1, 1999
Straight from Conan O'Brien and the "Late Night" staff, a collection of startling and thought-provoking predictions for... oh, a couple of months from now.

What will happen in the year 2000? Well, according to Conan O'Brien and the other comic geniuses from NBC's "Late Night," robots will do 80% of our houseworkand we will do 90% of theirs. All medical procedures will take 30 minutes or less, as doctors switch to the Domino's Pizza Health Plan. And scientists will discover the secret ingredient in Starbucks coffee: a chemical that makes people forget they are paying $4 for a cup of coffee.

Straight from "Late Night with Conan O'Brien" comes a saucy serving of outrageous--yet spookily plausible--predictions, and the last word on how the world may look on the other side of the millennial divide.

Conan O'Brien became the host of "Late Night" in 1993. In the year 2000 he will have to come up with a new sketch.

In The Year 2000...

* Man will sometimes write "1999" on his checks
* Scientists will revive Einstein's brain and keep it alive in a jar; it will become a dee jay
* America's belief in angels will be rewarded when thousands are discovered in a secluded valley; they will taste like veal
* Men will finally discover that the reason women go to the bathroom in pairs...is to make out
* The radio signals scientists have been sending into outer space will finally get a reply. Their simple message: "Less talk, more rock"
* Mark McGuire will become the richest man on earth when he finally learns to tie a string to every ball he hits
* Elizabeth Dole will be elected President, making Bob Dole America's first man--something already verified by fossil records
* Packaged Toll House cookies will become so moist and chewy that people will no longer fear death
* A daring and controversial plan to capture Bigfoot will fail when he sends a friend to accept his Oscar for him
* Jesus Christ returns to earth but quickly leaves when he discovers the 55 cent Egg McMuffin deal has expired.

5.0 out of 5 stars In one word:HILARIOUS!, November 29, 1999
By 
RaveGyrl (Chicago, Illinois) - See all my reviews
This review is from: In the Year 2000 (Paperback)
Late Night with Conan O'Brien is the most cleverly written and funniest shows on tv. Now they came out with this book based on their popular skit-In The Year 2000. This book is brilliant. I couldn't stop laughing. There were some instances where I had to put the book down, because I was laughing so hard it brought tears to my eyes. I'm a huge fan of the show and when I heard about this book I rushed out the next day and got it. Fan of Conan or not if you want a great comedy book and laugh the entire time you're reading it this is the book to get.

4.0 out of 5 stars A hilarious book, December 7, 1999
By A Customer
This review is from: In the Year 2000 (Paperback)
The content and jokes of this book are hilarious, as they are on the TV show. I would reccomend this book to anybody, regardless of whether or not they are a Conan O'Brien fan. The only reason I didn't give it a fifth star is because the jokes aren't quite as funny as they are when a professional comedian (Andy or Conan) is speaking them. Still, though, a great book.

5.0 out of 5 stars Conan, The Master of Smart "Stupid" Comedy, July 14, 2000
By 
This review is from: In the Year 2000 (Paperback)
Conan is the master of taking the stupidest, most puerile material and turning it into smart, pure comic gold. This is a very rare skill: the only other masters I can think of right now are Steve Martin and Mel Brooks. The "predictions" in this book are so outrageous, and so on target that they will leave you gasping for breath. Go out and buy this book now! Don't let "the masturbating bear" frighten you.
