Due to the recent Writers Guild strike, the staff of Late Night with Conan O’Brien have been lazing around playing RockBand (are they hiring?). While I wish the free time would have culminated into some better material for the oft times painful to watch show, I guess beggars can’t be choosers. Hit the jump for Conan’s take on RockBand.

With all the talk swirling around regarding video games benefiting from the lack of TV, this skit may hold more weight than was intended. While I’m not going to say that one Conan O’Brien skit is a definitive victory for gamers everywhere, I will say that it’s interesting to see TV hosts acknowledging the success of modern gaming on national television.
