Airbnb has some really cool locations on their site for you stay at and now they are adding Conan O’Brien’s rafters to their locales for one night only. That’s right you can spend the night high above where Conan tapes his TBS late night show on June 3rd, all you have to do is enter for the chance to win by June 1st. It is packed full of amenities like a bed, free parking on the premises and that’s all. While it doesn’t come with much, you can tell your friends and family you stayed at the place where they filmed Karate Kid 2, Mildred Pierce and Conan. They should be impressed by the first two.
Only restriction is that you can’t throw rocks at O’Brien when they are taping the show, but you can do that during commercial breaks.
What more do you need to enter? Nothing, so enter at Airbnb’s site. Good luck!
BTW out of all of the talk shows, Conan has the nicest studio by far.
Every now and again an employer has to review his employees, and Conan O’Brien thought it was about time he reviewed the people who answer to him. Although, it doesn’t seem that a lot of them really answer to him, and can you blame them? The one answer they all agreed upon, is which co-worker they think should be fired. Who do you think they all said? Jordan Schlansky, of course. I never would have agreed with them until I started following him on Twitter. It actually hurts to read his Tweets. So if reading 180 characters of his thoughts is painful, imagine how hard it must be to work with him?
But this isn’t about Schlansky, it’s about Conan. And I want his dummy! That was my biggest takeaway from this bit. That and he better give his show’s publicist a glowing review or we will have a problem.
Finally, Conan O’Brien is now the senior member late night host. Here’s to hoping he surpasses Letterman’s 33 year record.
The Grateful Dead’s Bill Kreutzmann wrote a book about his time drumming for the band and yesterday he told some trippy stories from it to Conan O’Brien yesterday.
Did you know the traveling band’s name was originally the Warlocks. Then one day when Jerry Garcia was reading through a dictionary, he saw two words that eventually became the band’s name. A name the other members all hated. A name we have all grown to know and love.
The drummer also shared a story that had Conan hallucinating that something like that would happen to him. Back in 1969, they were guests on Playboy After Dark and someone (not them) laced the coffee with LSD. Hugh Hefner and the crew were taking an acid trip, making the show really interesting.
Not only did he talk about that, he also explained why The Dead isn’t in the Woodstock movie. Kreutzmann also shared what it was to like to march to a different beat when they played the Monterey Pop Festival back in 1967 between The Who and Jimi Hendrix.
With all of those stories he was telling, it is almost like how did the band become as iconic as they did. But they are more than a few stories, they are the band that defined a generation.
Tonight at 11:35p on CBS, David Letterman is saying goodbye to late night after 33 years, a third of a century. Not only has he influenced many people, he has been a big part of all of the remaining talk show hosts’ lives. Jimmy Kimmel was obsessed with him since he was a teenager. Conan O’Brien would still not be on the air had Letterman not come on to Late Night to save it. Ellen DeGeneres and Jimmy Fallon were guests on his show when they were starting out. Finally, Seth Meyers wouldn’t have a show if Jay Leno didn’t screw Letterman out of The Tonight Show.
So in the last few days, all of the above took time out of their shows to rightfully salute their hero. So watch them pay tribute to the man who they all have to thank for their jobs. Without him Kimmel would still be doing radio, Conan would be writing for The Simpsons, Fallon would be doing unwatchable movies, Ellen would have another sitcom and Meyers would still be on Saturday Night Live. Come to think of it… Joking, they are all better when they are!
Martial Artist and Stuntman Steven Ho was on Conan O’Brien’s show yesterday and he had a few more defense lessons for the TBS late night host. One of those lessons took place in the bedroom with a hot girl and Conan had no problem with that. In fact, when the henchman came after him, he handled it like the man he is. Which I didn’t know that he was until this scenario, but it is good to know. Although, the hot girl took out the last guy, so not sure how manly that part was. But then again, he redeemed himself when he carried her away like she was his bride on their wedding day. So equals out, no?
While that was just one hilarious clip from yesterday’s class, you can also see Conan get a purple nurple, try to kiss his teacher and get put in a car trunk. Not bad a night for the late night show. Oh wait, it was, but it was great for us!
I think that Steven Ho needs to be on Conan more often. He’s my favorite guest on the show. But then again it’s because I am a Sadist and he always hurts Conan. Is that wrong?
