For those who might have missed them, despite the fact that they’re pretty much all over YouTube and UncutVideo and your Aunt Hessie’s blog, here are Manny’s appearance on the Tonight Show and Papi’s appearance on Conan O’Brien.
First up is the Leno clip, which is spectacular not only for its veritable Exxon Valdez-like overspill of Manny’s goofily ebulliant charm, but also for the closing seconds which show Manny rushing out to shake hands with the Backstreet Boys.
Next, here’s the Conan clip, complete with sequined scorpion jacket that is clearly standard issue at The American Institute of Badassery.
If they give out an Emmy for pure, unadulterated awesome, I think you’ve got to give it to Manny.
