[sonalisubbaiah23]

is it conan in the ostritch suit?or andy?....love this man!!

[chalomirof63]

@sonalisubbaiah23 It's neither. Actually, it's Dino Stamatopoulos, one of Conan's early writers. (He did alot of the characters, including Conan's "Kiss-Ass Turkey"). (Look at the video on the right, with Dino and Robert Smigel.)

[chalomirof63]

@MrPancake95 Whoops, sorry! It's still October!!! Well, happy birthday in advance!!!

That's not George Page narrating, its Peter Thomas.

[chalomirof63]

@digitalworld1982 Wow! Thanks for the info, but he does sound like George Page, doesn't he.

[digitalworld1982]

@chalomirof63 I have an old Nature episode with George Page from 1988 on my channel broken up in six parts. It's called "Hawaii: Islands of The Fire Goddess". You can hear the difference between the two.

[chalomirof63]

@digitalworld1982 LOL! I also have tons of the original "Nature" episodes with George Page. But I'm sure if I pay close attention, I'll hear the distinction. Again, many thanks. F.

[chalomirof63]

Very welcome!

NORM!

Dino really went all-out in the ostrich skits. It's unfortunate that he apparently ended up hating Conan after he left--I think it was an interview on the old Mr. Show site where he let on that he felt Conan was an egotist. Which is mind-blowing to me, since Conan has made a career of being self-effacing.

[chalomirof63]

Sad to hear that Conan and Dino parted that way, as I loved Dino's work; but, y'know, as likable and funny as Conan is, I'm not that surprised at Dino's take. One has to admit: Conan would often draw attention to himself at the expense of his guests. And please - no hate mail - LOL.

[boggybeah]

@chalomirof63 I can definitely see that too. You have to have a healthy ego to do a show like his. That kind person might be hard to be around after a while. Eh, I still love Conan :)

[chalomirof63]

@boggybeah: I couldn't have stated it better, and you obviously get what I was saying. Thanks.

With this video, chalomirof63 succeeds in not only entertaining us, but also educating us. Kudos to you, chalomirof63.

[chalomirof63]

Education, indeed! I love the "Nature" series - especially when George Page narrated it - and this is not only funny, but actually quite sweet. Tomari rules!! Thanks Mr. H.
