Here are a few of the spots I wrote for the launch of Conan’s new show on TBS.
They’re part of the “Missing You” campaign, by Stun Creative. Stun had the concept – people missing Conan, with the John Waite song – and asked me to come up with several scenarios.
What do you think?

Hilarious. And I was glad to see Coco doing so well with the African American demographic.

Hi-LARIOUS. Love them. 🙂
Leeann says
Love them all, but my fav is the guy on the island. But I think they all should be on TV
Kate says
awesome! i have to say my favorite is the bus stop one! because how often have you thought you recognized someone and WANTED to just up and hug them and but don't because you think WHAT IF IT ISNT THEM!? So basically, i think it's funny because it's such a worst case scenario and most likely to happen in real life lol
Bob Hogan says
Laura, I love the concepts. Each one has its own specialness: bus stop=surprise, castaway=super-creative, and soup=poignancy (good actor for the soup, by the way).
I think “Missing You” is a John Waite song, as opposed to a Tom Waits song, no?
LBelgray says
Thanks, Bob — for the thoughtful praise, but even more for the correcction. DRRRR! I made that same mistake out loud last week, and my husband teased me to no end. He started singing “Missing You” in Tom Waits' voice. Can't believe I went and bumbled it in my post.
Oh well, that's the beauty of a blog – easy to update.

Love the spots, love you!
Umm. Hate to mention it, but it seems you have relapsed on the comment reading.
LBelgray says
It's not a “relapse,” Doug. It's me accepting and loving myself for what I am: an incurable feedback slut.

Andrea Vahl says
Love it!! Those are awesome – my fav was the soup too. They were all good – congrats!
LBelgray says
Thanks, Andrea. Wow, I thought soup would come in last. It's a sleeper.
Jess Webb says
LOL – I LOVE them! My favorite was the “Wilson” one – cracked me up. 😀
LBelgray says
Thanks, Jess. I wanted a followup where the ball floats away and the guy screams “CONAAAAAAAN!”
Jess Webb says
LOL – that would be so perfect! 😉
Jen D says
My fave is the guy with the soup! Laughed out loud.
LBelgray says
Another soup fan heard from. Thanks, Jen.
Stefanie Gunning says
Hilarious, Laura. I LOVE the “Cast Away” parody with Wilson dressed as Conan.
LBelgray says
Thank you for getting that. To those who didn't see that movie, it's just a freak laughing at a soccer ball.
Andy Fogarty says
Pushing away the soup is hilarious. Although, I would liked to have seen some talking shrimp. Cuz… well… you know. 😉
LBelgray says
Don't worry. The talking shrimp will have their day. There's a network sitcom in development. %$*# My Shrimp Says.
Darryl says
Nice work! The alphabet soup is my favorite ;>)
LBelgray says
Thanks, Darryl. Wow, another vote for soup!
Mike Tekula says
Excellent!
LBelgray says
Thanks, Mike. I like your blog, btw.

I LOVE these spots. I watched them the other day on the Team Coco site and my husband and I laughed for a good long time them all! You + Conan = Awesometastic! : )
LBelgray says
Thanks, Sara. Though I have to add Stun Creative to the equation. They are genius.
