Rebecca Romijn was on Conan yesterday and Conan O’Brien asked her about the reality show she hosts on the Game Show Network called Skin Wars. Basically, the premise of that competition show is that the contestants use other peoples’ bodies as their canvas. Something the Guardian on The Librarians knows all too well, since she played Mistique in the X-Men movies and was the first model to wear a painted on bathing suit for the Sports Illustrated Swimsuit Edition.
She then explained that even though you are naked, you don’t feel that way when the paint is on you. So the TBS late night host pondered, what it would be like to do his show in painted on suit and tie. So she asked him if he would do it and he said he only would only do it if she did it too. Then when she agreed to do it, he suddenly realized what he got himself into and it was too late to get out of it.
It is too early to know when they will do it and if Andy Richter will join in (I hope so!), but I know I can’t wait for this episode. Thankfully, Skin Wars was picked up for a second season, so there is no way he can get out of it. Or can he? We will just have to keep tuning in to find out.
