What a fine ambassadorial job Portland's own Ron Funches did on Conan last night. There were so many elongated laugh breaks in his set that what what supposed to be about four minutes ran over six-and-a-half. After the show the producer told Ron that Conan loved the set so much he called for it to run un-cut. So there you have it—national recognition of Portland's burgeoning comedy scene. Well done, Mr. Funches. Well done indeed.
