Tonight Show and the Mushroom Kingdom

Ghoulish Delight · 06-04-2009, 02:16 PM

We caught the first episode of the Tonight Show with Conan. I'm entirely uninterested in the late show format anymore, and while Conan can still make me laugh, the few times I've tuned in recently even he's become stale. But I definitely wanted to see how he'd do. The first episode was entertaining. It's not like it was some uncharted territory for him, just do what he's done an hour earlier and 3000 miles wester. But I'm still not going to watch with anything resembling regularity.

But that's not what I'm here to talk about. I'm here to talk about someone's astute observation that the backdrop for the monologue set looks suspiciously like the Mushroom Kingdom of Mario.

What, your copy & paste doesn't work?

It's fixed.

It didn't work. Said 404 Page not found

Holy crap. Someone has a good eye to spot that.

Haha, that's awesome. The comments indicate there will be a joke about it on tonight's show

I can't tell from the comments how much the Nintendo shot is various parts of screens stitched together.

Yeah, I'm not sure how much is actual game screens vs. someone fitting game elements into the shapes to match the style. Either way, even if it's entirely stitched, it belies a pretty close stylistic match.
