Last night Conan O'Brien brought the "world's largest Chicago-style hot dog" to the stage, and it was one mighty tubesteak. The 40-foot long tribute to one of the most recognizable Chicago food staples contained three pounds of pickle spears, one pound of sport peppers, two pounds of relish, four pounds of tomatoes, four pounds of onions, two pounds of mustard and 1/8 lb. of celery salt. (That isn't enough.) All on hot dogs by Vienna Beef (natch) and a 40 ft. long bun by Alpha Baking Co.

And no ketchup!!

Although it wasn't certified as a world record by the Guinness Book of World Records, a guy in a mustache drinking a Guinness said, "dat's a big freakin' hot dog."

On last night's program, peace was brokered between Cubs and White Sox fans, with the help of The Big Bang Theory star Johnny Galecki (who got his start in local Chicago theater). The common ground? A hatred of St. Louis Cardinals fans.

And in yesterday's jumps of objects over the State Street bridge, Team Coco successfully jumped a model Mr. T—whom O'Brien called a "Chicago icon" (really?)—but an overweight Green Bay tourist on a rascal failed to make the jump. We even got to see the view of the failed jump from the view of a rascal cam.
