    My favorite Abe bit is one that doesn't even make sense nowadays. It was when the television signal in the US switched from analog to digital, and Late Night switched from 4:3 aspect ratio to 16:9. Conan did a bit where he was wondering what he could do with all the extra screen space, and one of his suggestions was having Abe Vigoda playing ping pong against himself on the edges of the screen.

    There's two clips I wish I could find.
    1. They're doing a rundown of mascots or something, and one was Abe Vigoda with his arm stuck in a mailbox.
    2. They had just converted to HD, and they were discussing what they could do with the extra space on the sides of the screen. One idea was having Abe Vigoda on each side, playing ping pong with himself.

    I think there was a bit where Vigoda wakes up, gets ready, and then walks all the way to the studio for nothing and then walks back home. When Conan left the Tonight Show, I had hoped he would do that bit again, like Abe had taken so long to travel across the country from New York to LA that he finally arrived on Conan's final episode.
