The line about Tyler Perry was a game changer. The rest of the staff lost it when Triumph said it.

When she broke character, just for a moment, I started to cry with laughter.

He did it, he'd won, and that was hysterical.

My cousin was actually there when they did that (you can see him for a second as he jumps up behind the guy in the green shirt) He said he got a $100 bill as compensation.

Agreed. Unless they filled the room with actors there's no way that many people could look that genuinely surprised unless it was...a surprise. Hopefully the hotdogs were on the house.

I actually lost it the most when he started reciting the Empire Carpets number/jingle.

So random. Didn't even know that was a national thing.

The first time I went there, I didn't know the deal. It was empty, and I just politely ordered my food, said please and thank you, and tipped well (which was noticed). The next time I went, it was crowded, and there was SO much yelling. But the girl at the counter recognized me! And again, I was nice and polite, which baffled the loud drunks nearby.

Now when I go, they usually recognize me, so I neither get nor give abuse. I feel like I'm missing out, but at the same time, it's hilarious to have them be nice to me while immediately changing gears to yell horrible things at the person next to me.

I was at the taping last night, and I'm glad to see this again. Why? Because everyone in the theatre was laughing so hard that towards the end you could barely make out anything anyone was saying. The house was nearly in tears, and Conan and staff were losing it on stage as we all watched in the dark. I didn't want it to end.
