Last night on Twitter comedy historian Kliph Nesteroff unearthed this gem of Hank Aaron and Louis C.K. on “Late Night With Conan O’Brien” together in 1993:
Back then Aaron was still the all-time home run king, C.K. was an unknown writer for O’Brien’s show, and people knew who Dan Cortese was.

I hope Cortese saved some of his money. Haven’t seen him in anything I have watched in a long time.

It’s been a long time, but he recently resurfaced on TruTV:

… and William F. Buckley was still alive and Max Weinberg was the bandleader of The Max Weinberg 7 on Conan.

Oh my god that was painful. (PS love how Buckley got left out here).

Kurt Vonnegut has a great essay about how WIlliam F. Buckley is the man he admires most. They don’t make em like that guy any more.
As far as Louis CK and Hank Aaron — well, they should make lots more of them as well. Even if this was a really stupid skit. Whatever — I like everyone in it a whole lot, Max included.
