Here’s exactly why I love my Wii … as demonstrated by Conan O’Brien and Serena Williams. Just watch them and the fun they’re having. Watch Conan beat Serena. I have no idea how good a tennis player Conan really is, but I’m going to go out on a limb here and assume that Serena is better than him — but that doesn’t matter in Wii Tennis — and nobody cares, because they’re having such a fun time. It reminds me of when I play Timmi in Wii tennis. She’d CREAM me in real tennis, but we’re pretty close on the Wii, and we have a riot when playing.

EDIT: Bah! NBC has taken the content down. General description is: Conan challenges Serena to a match, then rips off his tear-away suit to reveal a 70s style tennis outfit. They then play a game on the Wii, where Serena gets a quick lead, but Conan comes back to win. The real issue I think was that Serena was swinging too hard. She’s scary good.
