CONAN, 3/14/96 - FIRST APPEARANCE OF "THE GASEOUS WEINER" (TOMMY BLACHA)

I never realized Tommy Blacha worked at LN. I was only eleven when this aired so I don't know a lot of these sketches though, I had to watch Conan in secret back then.

Thanks so much for posting this!!!

I keep telling my friends about the Gaseous Weiner, and they must think I'm crazy!!!

I second the sentiments - delighted to know his origins, and to see this preserved online! Thanks so much! Were it not for you, these would exist only in an NBC vault somewhere (likely to collect dust indefinitely now that Conan's ship has sailed to TBS). I also like the Catty Ant, haha.

Yes! Finally. Thanks man!

I too have been searching and searching for The Gaseous Wiener - he was my favorite!! I literally slithered off the couch onto the floor the first time I saw this, I was laughing so hard. THANK YOU

@mizzbijou How could anyone NOT laugh! LOL. Hope you found my other "Gaseous" uploads.

The first gaseous weiner appearance! Greg Gutfeld would love the horse one, if they could make it two unicorns.

LOL!! I've been waiting FOREVER for someone to post the gaseous weiner. THANKS!

The gaseous wiener was one of my favourites! I don't know if Tommy actually broke his leg or not, but I remember Conan mentioning that there would be no wiener for a while, and then showed a photo of Tommy with a broken leg IN the costume! Amazing!
