What Every Viewer of That Show Always Wanted

Yes, I watch 2 Broke Girls. I know how that sounds. You’re over there with your considered opinions about narrative structure and your subtitled arthouse cinema, and I’m here watching two women sling coffee and trade insults in a Brooklyn diner. We’ve all made our choices.

But on Conan, Beth Behrs did the one thing every person who has ever watched that show has quietly wanted to see: she reached over and grabbed Kat Dennings’ enormous tits. Right there on television. Kat Dennings, who has spent however many seasons now weaponizing her chest in that low-cut diner uniform—someone finally did something about it. Beth Behrs just went for it. No preamble, no apology, total commitment.

TV moment of the year. Possibly the decade. And now kiss.
