Do you take Thomas Sullivan Magnum, I.V., to be your lawfully-wedded husband?

Does anyone remember a "Late Night With Conan O'Brien" sketch featuring a man who is so in love with the Magnum, P.I. theme song, that he marries it?

This is probably a waste of a question but it has haunted me for years. I recall a pre-guest sketch on "Late Night with Conan" dating back to the late 90s, early 2000s, which featured a man who was so in love with the theme song from "Magnum, P.I." that he married it. The actual ceremony was officiated by a minister who stood between the man and a boombox, with clips of the theme song interspersed to replicate "I do." I cannot find this anywhere on the internets, please validate my memory.

I remember that, it was part of a "new characters" sketch, where characters were ridiculous creations like the masturbating bear.

This sketch did happen. It was amazing (and my friends & I still reference it frequently). Unfortunately, my Google-Fu fails me and I can't locate a video clip online.

But you're not crazy! You are haunted by a legitimate sketch.

Response by poster: Samsm and Dryad, thank you. This can only be remedied by a viewing. Wonder what the odds are of writing to Conan and requesting a rebroadcast.

It's worth a shot... I'm giggling just from reading the description.
