Don’t be distracted by the faux pencil mustache, comedian IAN ABRAMSON (Seven Minutes in Purgatory) is the real deal. Yesterday on CONAN, he unleashed his one-liner and impression arsenal for his late night TV debut with the aid of a remote-controlled shock collar. Yes, you read that correctly. Abramson strapped on a genuine device you’d normally use to train a canine and asked an audience member to push the button when a joke didn’t please the audience. Luckily, that was only required once for a Tennessee Williams Google password joke (which I personally loved). Watch as Abramson wins over the crowd with handy pnemonic devices, potential children’s names, ancient roman sitcom possibilities, and handy impressions like the suicidal germaphobe and a lit matchstick. Enjoy!
