Conan O'Brien tried to interview Martin Short but ended up getting roasted over and over

"You look like Mr. Rogers, if Mr. Rogers drank before his show."

Conan O'Brien continuously roasted by Martin Short.

Most people have had a friend that jokes around way too much. They're constantly finding ways to rib you about something—sometimes it's annoying but mostly you love it because the jokes are pretty funny. Well, that's the situation with Martin Short and Conan O'Brien, where Short takes every opportunity he can to roast his buddy. O'Brien is funny all on his own, but seeing him continuing to walk right into the hilarious roastings is just a chef's kiss.

This friendly act of Short poking fun at O'Brien happens so often that someone decided to put together a six-minute compilation video of nothing but O'Brien being teased by the fellow comedian. While most people would probably start getting a little miffed by the barrage of jokes at their expense, it all seems to be in good fun and O'Brien continues to invite him back on the show. Part of me thinks the long-time talk show host enjoyed being on the receiving end of the ribbing just as much as Short enjoyed doling it out. The compilation does provide some good chuckle moments, albeit at the expense of O'Brien.

In one clip Short tells O'Brien, "You look like Mr. Rogers, if Mr. Rogers drank before his show." I mean, it's kind of a compliment right? On the one hand you're being compared to Mr. Rogers, the epitome of kindness. On the other hand, it's a drunk Mr. Rogers. Jury's out on how to take that joke, but laughing is the result. Check it out below.

Astronaut shares the profound 'big lie' he realized after seeing the Earth from space

This change in perspective could change humanity.

Our home, from space.

Sixty-one years ago, Yuri Gagarin became the first human to make it into space and probably the first to experience what scientists now call the "overview effect." This change occurs when people see the world from far above and notice that it’s a place where “borders are invisible, where racial, religious and economic strife are nowhere to be seen.”

The overview effect makes man’s squabbles with one another seem incredibly petty and presents the planet as it truly is, one interconnected organism.

In a compelling interview with Big Think, astronaut, author and humanitarian Ron Garan explains how if more of us developed this planetary perspective we could fix much of what ails humanity and the planet.

Garan has spent 178 days in space and traveled more than 71 million miles in 2,842 orbits. From high above, he realized that the planet is a lot more fragile than he thought.

Michael Jackson and Lionel Richie wrote "We Are the World."

From 1983 to 1985, more than 1 million people in Ethiopia died from extreme famine. A few months after a BBC report on the famine that triggered the U.K. Band Aid charity single "Do They Know It's Christmas?," the biggest stars in the American music industry came together in 1985 to record a charity single to help those suffering in Ethiopia, Sudan and other impoverished African countries.

The collection of entertainers called themselves USA for Africa, and their single, “We Are the World,” sold more than 7 million records worldwide and has generated $60 million over the past 37 years.

The song was written by Lionel Richie and Michael Jackson and produced by Quincy Jones. The vocals were recorded after the American Music Awards in Los Angeles on January 28, 1985, in a single 8 p.m. to 8 a.m session at Hollywood's A&M Recording Studios.

Pink shares a proud mama video of her daughter's first singing recital

'This 11 year old (11,000 year old soul) blows me away.'

Pink's daughter is following in her mom's footsteps with her own unique voice.

One of the best things social media offers is the ability for parents to share some of their kids' big moments. Proud parents are going to proud parent, and modern technology gives us ample opportunity to publicly gush about our offspring without forcing anyone to bear witness to their burgeoning talents.

Celebrity parents are in a bit of a different boat, however. When you're a household name with millions of followers, you might think twice about sharing your proud parent videos. But iconic pop star Pink has shared a video of her daughter's first singing recital just like any other proud mama would, and it's totally sweet.

Pink posted the video to an Instagram reel with the caption "This 11 year old (11,000 year old soul) blows me away."
