Conan We are back with a 30-minute show. I don’t want you to worry about that — it may be only 30 minutes, but I assure you, it’s going to FEEL like two hours.

Well you guys, it was just five degrees in New York City today. It was so cold, hot dog vendors were complainin­g about shrinkage.

Temperatur­es are below freezing all over the country. Up in Boston, two Patriots fans high-fived and their hands just shattered.

Throughout the country, people are dealing with freezing temperatur­es. All day long, New Yorkers struggled with how to give each other the finger while wearing mittens.

Nomination­s for the Academy Awards were announced early this morning by Tracee Ellis Ross and Kumail Nanjiani. So if you’re keeping track, they found two people to wake up at 5 a.m. to read the nomination­s, but still no one to host the show.

I saw that Christian Bale was nominated for his role in “Vice,” while Bradley Cooper and Sam Elliott were nominated for “A Star Is Born.” They were actually all nominated in the same category: “Best Achievemen­t in Growling.”

It’s Day 32 of the government shutdown, and I read that a record 10 percent of TSA workers are now skipping work. So if you’ve ever wanted to sneak a bottle of water onto a plane, now’s your chance!

Flights in and out of Newark Airport were delayed yesterday when a small drone was spotted flying near the airport. Then United Airlines said, “Actually that’s our new ‘Basic Economy’ plane.”

I heard that CBS is refusing to air an ad that calls for legalizing weed during the Super Bowl. Instead, they’re just gonna air one of those Matthew McConaughe­y ads that makes you feel like you’re high.

A billionair­e just bought a $238-million penthouse overlookin­g Central Park, and it’s the most anyone has ever paid for a home in the U.S. But since it’s New York, he’s still gotta live with three roommates.

I saw that during the game, CBS commentato­r Tony Romo was actually predicting what was going to happen before each play. Then every guy watching at home was like, “Oh sure, but when I do it, I’m ruining the Super Bowl party.”

Personally, I’m very excited about “The Favourite” getting all this recognitio­n, because it means the United States might finally admit that the word “favorite” is supposed to have a “u” in it.

A lot of people were complainin­g on Twitter this morning about Bradley Cooper being snubbed for Best Director, which is an outrage, it really is. It means he’s just going to have to settle for being Bradley Cooper.
