Martin Lawrence interview

I just talked to Jerry [Bruckheimer] yesterday. He said it’s real, they’re working on the script, getting closer. It all looks good. We want to cast you in it. You know what you could play? A crooked cop on crack.
Feel performance

Stop Your Crying performance

Williams tribute
O’Brien and co-host Andy Richter remembers the late Robin Williams by chatting about his various acts of kindness and generosity. They mention one moment where Williams gives O’Brien an outrageous bicycle to cheer him up during the Tonight Show debacle. They also proceed to show a montage of the guestings Williams did in O’Brien’s various late night shows.
I knew Robin just in show business, and we did a few projects, benefits and things together. And he had been a guest on the show. For my money, best talk show guest ever, brilliantly funny. That’s obvious to everyone what a brilliant talent he was. Just as a quick example of what he was like, a bunch of years ago, five years ago, I went through publicly kind of a bump in the road and I was feeling a little low. Out of the blue Robin Williams buys me a bicycle. And it sounds like a silly thing, you know? He was the first person to buy me a bicycle since my parents bought me a bicycle when I was 35.
Benjamin Booker performance
Booker performs the song Have You Seen My Son on Conan to promote his self-titled debut album.
Megan Fox interview
Fox guests on Conan to promote her film, Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles. She shares her childhood memories of growing up in an ultra-conservative household where watching TV was not allowed, and her personal campaign to get the role of April O’Neil. She also gives O’Brien and astrological reading and tells him what his spirit animal is.
I have been good at it. I have been able to predict some of the births of my friends’ children based on where the moon is. I actually had something made up, it’s your natal chart, I left it. Your sun is an Aries and that’s the tip of the iceberg, the ruling planet is mars who is the God of war. Usually you’re going to find them being firefighters, policemen, they’re like, the instinctual heroes and to me, I don’t know you, but to me you seem more like an instinctual reader.
Larry King second interview
King returns to the Conan couch and calls out O’Brien on his previous comment about his weak handshake. He also talks about his friendship with Snoop Dogg and his experience with marijuana, and proceeds to split a pot brownie with O’Brien and Richter.
I smoked it a few times with my doctor. I smoked it a few times, it was very enjoyable. I liked it.
Sam Morril stand-up
Morril gives a stand-up comedy performance on Conan. His routine talks about hooking up, how a comic’s life comprises porn and Facebook, and dealing with issues of race and sexuality in New York City.
Every porn online now has a link that says “Share” or “Post to Facebook”. I don’t know who’s doing that.
Unbreakable performance
Scott makes his television debut on Conan, and performs Unbreakable, a track from his latest album My Hurricane. He also promotes his upcoming tour with One Direction and One Republic.
Orange Is The New Black episode
The cast of Orange Is The New Black visits Conan for a special episode dedicated to the Netflix TV series. The cold open features Laverne Cox’s character grooming O’Brien’s hair for the monologue. Kate Mulgrew talks about dancing the Irish jig on Late Night, Uzo Aduba tries to teach O’Brien how to do “crazy eyes”, and the rest of the cast discuss their rapport on the show. Mulgrew on their working relationship:
You know why we get along so well? It’s vanity free. We have to get in the uniform. Stripped of ego.
Taye Diggs interview
Diggs guests on Conan and talks about the possibility of starring in the Magic Mike sequel. He also discusses his desire to play a Marvel super hero on-screen as well as his soft spot for touching commercials.
It’s embarrassing. It shows all these guys in these wheelchairs and they’re talking about teamwork and whatnot, and how it’s not just for one person, and everybody has to be a team. And then at the end of the commercial, you realize everybody gets up from the wheelchairs except one dude, and you realize all these people were playing basketball with the dude on the wheelchair, and they were all playing in the wheelchair to make him feel included.
Wild Way performance
Amos takes to her piano and performs the track Wild Way on Conan to promote her latest album, Unrepentant Geraldines.
Gary Oldman interview
Oldman chats with O’Brien about working with Francis Ford Coppola and preparing for his role in Dracula. They also watch a montage of Oldman’s death scenes in the films he has made.
We rehearsed for four weeks in Napa Valley with Coppola. And they went off and did various things for research, but I said, “Well, what do I do? Because I’m 300 years old and I’m dead.” But when I got back to California, when I got back to Los Angeles, he sent me over a coffin… I think he wanted me to have sex in it.
Carl Reiner interview
Reiner returns to Conan and talks to O’Brien about his interesting experience with a co-star in summer theater. He also promotes his latest book and invents a new Twitter craze called the ‘selfishie’.
There’s a thing called a ‘selfie’, but I feel so proud – when you come up with something original. He [O’Brien] was backstage and I wanted to do a selfie with him. Then I came up, I said, I want to do something better than a selfie. So I did a ‘selfishie’.
Tacky performance
Yankovic gives a live performance of his song, Tacky on Conan. A spoof of Pharrell Williams’ hit, Happy, the song is one of the many spoofs in his latest album, Mandatory Fun.
Tinder skit
O’Brien tries out Tinder for the first time by creating fake profiles with Dave Franco and finding a match whom they meet in person.
This is what the Internet can do. It can bring a bunch of people who were strangers just an hour ago, together in the night, on to the street, outside a really creepy van, where they hold themselves a little too long, and then probably never see each other again.
Mark Normand stand-up
Normand returns as a stand-up comic on Conan. His routine talks about suspicious Facebook ads, the perks of having gay guys around and the double standard that promiscuous women face in society.
I feel sorry for women when it comes to sex. Girl has sex with a lot of guys, everybody makes fun of her. Guys are cool. Double standard. I hate when guys pull this move. I had sex with the girl, I’m the man. She had sex with him too, “Oh, what a slut.” That’s not fair. How come she’s a slut now and not a slut when she had sex with you?
Michael Sheen interview
Sheen guests on Conan to promote Masters of Sex. He also talks about how he handles the amount of nudity on the set and prepares for sexy scenes, as well as what his mother thinks of the show.
It’s a fine line because you don’t want people to think that you’re being creepy. You don’t want people to think that you’re ogling them. I did a bit of research because my character starts off as a gynecologist.
Joe Manganiello interview
Manganiello drops by Conan and talks to O’Brien about being People magazine’s Hollywood’s Hottest Bachelor. They also chat about his role as Big Dick Richie in Magic Mike, after which he teaches the TV host some stripper moves. On O’Brien’s possible stripper persona:
I think ‘Big Red’ could work. Like a viking with a helmet and like a pull-away armor – I’m here to pillage your village and your women.
