I found this over at David Woodbury’s site. Apparently, it is Conan O’Brien’s favorite skit, and you can easily see why. Enjoy!
Conan O’Brien on Baseball and the Civil War
Get a Signed Copy of My Book ($25 Direct From Author)
"In this stunning and well-researched book, Kevin Levin catches the new waves of the study of memory, black soldiers, and the darker underside of the Civil War as well as anyone has... Levin is both superb scholar and public historian, showing us a piece of the real war that does now get into the books, as well as into site interpretation."

Hilarious! I think Conan is actually a secret Lincoln and/or Civil War buff.
Thanks for posting this,
Chris
Oh, to see A-Rod and Barry play baseball like this!
Oh lol, Kevin. I don’t know who is more “twisted”–you or Conan O’Brien–and I do mean that as a compliment to both of you. Great skit.
Does anyone know where to find the Civil War time travel episode of Conan O’ Brien-I think it was 1996. It was pretty good- O’Brien was dress like a Union Major General and Max Weinberg’s band in Confederate Uniforms-the Battle of Antietam fought outside on 42nd St.
Now that’s something I would like to see.
It was pretty good- he reads a period letter that sounds like a Penthouse letter-I’ve looked for on the net but haven’t found it
John,
If you do come across it at some point please let me know.
