Comedian and talk show host Conan O'Brien had several adventures with airmen last year when he took a trip to Al Udeid Air Base in Qatar. And this week, one of those Mission Conan videos is getting another look from airmen. Conan's Facebook page and Air Force Secretary Deborah Lee James re-posted this hilarious clip of Conan learning about military working dogs — and even ending up in the jaws of one.
"I've done stupid things in 22 years in television, but this is maybe at the top of the list," Conan declared before going toe-to-toe with the dog, Astor.
The whole clip is pretty funny, although some of the language is NSFW, in case you're watching it in your office. (Almost as funny as Conan's fake German and suggestions for alternate military animals is his reference to "technical staff sergeant.")
