conan ichat.jpgConan just can’t seem to get enough of his Mac. When he’s not playing around with Photo Booth, he’s having stimulating iChat conversations with friends, and in this case, his band leader.

In a recent episode, Conan attempts to reclaim the “electrifying magic” between him and bandleader Max Weinberg, who’s currently on tour with Bruce Springsteen, by video chatting with him on iChat. He even brings in a third guest (LaBamba), calling up iChat’s conference mode. It all seems legit as there are visible audio and video cables connected to Conan’s MacBook Pro, and you can make out his Leopard desktop before he starts up the conference.

Nonstop verbal action commences, and laughs ensue as Conan highlights one of the most glaring weaknesses of video chat: It doesn’t make a dull conversation any more exciting. Enjoy.
