Orlando Bloom interview
Bloom appears as a guest on Conan to promote his latest film, The Hobbit. He also talks about having Sir Ian McKellen as a roommate, his experience stripping down in Zulu, and creating a porno film involving elves and Middle Earth.
The truth is there won’t be because J.R. Tolkien has the rights. The estate sold the rights for both The Hobbit and Lord of the Rings, but nothing else. I was doing press with Evangeline Lilly and Lee Pace recently. We both play elves and we could do an elven spinoff. Get some iphones and some GoPros and annihilate middle earth, Tantric sex, down and dirty. Let’s go with a bit of elven love and violence.

Again, trying to play a young Bruce Willis and look at yourself in the mirror doing lines, don’t know if I’m selling this. I don’t know if anyone will buy the “you grow up to be Bruce Willis”. Then once I put on that face and put in the contact lenses. It was a nose and lips, eyebrows, ears. All subtle but a lot of stuff and then I’m like “OK, yeah, this isn’t me anymore”.
Billy Eichner interview

Are there no jokes in outer space? Not a single joke. I wanted a laugh. It’s three, four hours long. And people say, you can’t combine sci-fi and comedy. Five words — “Honey, I Shrunk The Kids.? OK?
Bill Burr interview
Burr returns as a guest on Conan and shares his opinions about Thanksgiving and Black Friday. He also talks about his dislike for charity causes in sports and his penchant for Black and White stand-up comedy shows.
I like the holidays. Thanksgiving is my favorite because you get to eat in that type of thing. I don’t like black Friday type of stuff. Freaks me out. Makes me sad for Americans, watching them get trampled. Why would you do that to yourself? Why wouldn’t just admit you can’t afford it at regular prices.
Jennifer Aniston interview
Aniston returns as a guest on Conan to promote her latest film, Horrible Bosses 2. She also talks about a deleted sex scene on the film, as well as some of the sexy jewelry that she chose for her role.
It was an active choice. It was one of those things where they laid out the jewelry and I just gravitated towards that beautiful piece of jewelry. And I put it on. I was like “This is unique and cool.” So then I just kept trying on other bits of her wardrobe. I had kept it. And “great, you chose the [Bleep] ring!”
Pete Holmes interview
Holmes returns as a guest on Conan and talks about his Thanksgiving holiday with his parents in Boston. He also shares his experiences being a celebrity, including signing a Nickelback CD for a fan.
I’m a new vegan. I had to explain that to my working class Boston parents. They didn’t — they didn’t know what that meant. They didn’t even know how to say it. My father was like “Peter, you’re a vegan!” Why is that? Vegan, dad! Vegan, like an alien species. What does that mean? What does it mean? I go, it just means you don’t eat animal products. And he goes so what do you eat all day, frigging yogurt?
Sofia Vergara interview
Vergara returns as a guest on Conan to promote her latest jewelry line. She gives O’Brien a bracelet from the collection, to give to his wife. She also talks about her holiday spending habits and watching her boyfriend, Joe Mangianello, prepare for his stripper role in Magic Mike.
It was fun to see him prepare for Magic Mike. It was, you know, a little bit like surprising because I didn’t know who — that he could dance like that. But it was a lot of fun. He did a lot of crazy things in the movie. I think he even had an accident.

These are the things you think about when all of a sudden you realize you could have died. I’m out here and you feel like the desert is going to swallow you up and take you in. I take out my knife and starting to cut the tire off the rim. I realize I’m riding the rim right on in.
Rebecca Romjin interview
Romjin returns as a guest on Conan to promote her latest television show, Skin Wars. She also talks about her experiences with body painting, and challenges O’Brien to try wearing only body paint on one of his shows.
It’s funny, once you’re painted, go with me on this, you don’t feel nude. You actually do feel very covered up. You can tell from people’s body language that they don’t feel naked.
Rosario Dawson interview
Dawson returns as a guest on Conan to promote her latest film, Top Five. She also talks about making out with Jenny Slate in a New York Times video, and being inspired by James Franco to post “selfies” on social media.
I remember when they asked me to do it, I don’t know if that’s weird to say, but there was another actress they were talking about doing it with. Sure, that would be great. They changed and said it would be Jenny. Awesome, I have never met her before. She is hilarious and awesome and beautiful and cool and smart. So we got there, we said hello, nice to meet you like it was kind of great. It was kind of awesome.
WWE 2K14 game review

One of the great things about this game is you can design your own character. I’ve been hard at work at mine, and that’s me. The absence of an ass. The corpse-like skin color is correct. Absolute existential despair, that’s me. I’m ready to go.
Cristin Milioti interview
Milioti appears as a guest on Conan to promote her television show, A to Z. She also talks about almost getting run over by a bus with her face on it, and being bullied n school for her unique haircut and unusual retorts.
I had gone to a summer camp and the cool girl at summer camp had a buzz cut. Then I went home to New Jersey and I wanted one and my mom took me to a salon and they were like, she wants to what? And they did it. And I showed up to middle school like that. What’s up, guys? Ready to hang. And they were not nice.
Dana Carvey interview
Carvey returns as a guest on Conan and gives a variety of celebrity impersonations, including Liam Neeson, as well as Presidents Bush, Clinton, and Obama. He also improvises a song about the flugelbone in Neil Young’s voice, and talks about being friends with President George W. Bush.
He’s my buddy. It’s very interesting going on — by the way, this is an ISIS-free zone. If you are ISIS, please exit. It’s interesting to think of the dichotomy. Because Obama clearly was rough on him when we had to go back. He just wasn’t very enthusiastic. He’s up there going, we’re going to — we’re going to head back with our strategic partners, coalition, forces.
