It could be argued that Conan’s recreation of Sarah Palin’s Adventures in History is one of the highlights of comedic recreation from 2011. Conan’s version is supposed to be absurd, but it’s just barely more silly than Sarah’s. Admittedly Conan’s is better costumed and boasts a slightly larger cast, but cannot beat Palin’s description of Paul Revere’s ride for wild improvisation. With a nod to her NRA boosters, Palin made Revere’s stealthy ride sound more like an NRA sponsored, Bell-Ringer’s outing.
