There was way more than just “One Shining Moment” during March Madness. Although TBS led us to believe that Conan O’Brien knew nothing about college basketball, it’s evident that he knew a thing or two about UC Irvine and the characteristics of the extant anteater. Citing that these mammals are “pretty much blind” and pointing out that an anteater “sucks ants,” O’Brien combined comedic genius with some obvious zoological prowess leading up to an awkwardly awesome meeting with UC Irvine’s mascot.
After trading giant head pieces, holding a push-up contest and cleverly guising voices to protect identities, Conan distilled the best parts of what being a 6-foot felt anteater is all about.
