"I think these people get on these cars thinking they're gonna see..." ""There's Brad Pitt." "He's sweeping off the sidewalk in front of his house." "Hey, there, Brad."" "Hey, it's me, Conan O'Brien from "The Tonight Show"!" "Hi!" "I should have said, "Formerly of 'The Tonight Show."'" "O'Brien was announced as Leno's "Tonight Show" successor back in 2004, and five years later, his "Tonight Show" premiered." "But the network suits wanted to keep the still-popular Jay Leno, so they had an idea... create a new prime-time talk show for Jay Leno at 10:00 P.M." "That way they hold on to both of their hosts and save money on producing original scripted programming." "But the experiment failed." "Critics panned Leno's show, and the ratings went way down." "And Conan's "Tonight Show" ratings were disappointing, as well." "So, they came up with another idea..." "push the whole lineup later." "So, Jay Leno's show would go on in the "Tonight Show" slot, and "The Tonight Show" would follow at 12:05 A.M." "I didn't want to be the first "Tonight Show" host to take "The Tonight Show" into the next day, so I said that didn't really work for me." "Hey, hey!" "Ho, ho!" "Jay Leno's show has got to go!" "Hey, hey!" "Ho, ho!" "Jay Leno's show has got to go!" "Hey, hey!" "Jay is a liar!" "He said he'd retire!" "Fight, fight, fight, fight!" "I am prohibited from being on television right now, contractually, for the next 5, 6 months." "What if I could just go out there and see these people who were so nice and supportive and put on a show for them?" "And now it's... it's this." "It's..." "I don't know, 44 dates, starting April 12th." "I'm 46, and what do I do now?" "What else do I have to say?" "And it's just trying to figure that out right away, and so the tour will be interesting, 'cause I don't quite know what it's gonna be." "I just know that I've always liked being in front of an audience." "That's all I know, is I really like being in front of an audience." "You haven't stopped at all." "You started thinking about this the day after your final "Tonight Show."" "Day... the day of." "Yeah." "Why do you think that is, and what would that mean for you to stop?" "I don't know what it would be like to stop." "What do you mean, stop?" "What does that even mean?" "Really, my main goal for this is to have some fun." "Do you think you could have fun without an audience in front of you?" "We're in E, right?" " Yeah." "I really have fun when I'm with the... with writers or when I'm with musicians and we're working things out." "Then I'm content." "Hey!" " Hey!" "Hi, everybody." " Hey!" "Did the eating already happen?" " It just happened." "I had an idea a couple days ago, which was striking me as kind of funny, which is go out and say, "As you know, there are, whatever, the seven stages of grief that people go through."" "It turns out there are seven stages that you have to go through when you lose your television show." "The first one is denial." "The last stage is you get your ass to Cleveland." "Like, you make them the last stage." ""We're from Cleveland!"" "Now, the whole point of this tour was let's have some fun." "Yeah, get him." "Hit him." "If there's ever been a time in my life to just say..." "Whoo, whoo!" ""To hell with it", it's now." "We're about to start a 32-city tour, and it's coming up fast, gang." ""Hey, Conan, how'd the fight go?"" ""it went pretty good, I guess."" "And you guys are worried about me filling an hour and a half." "Just have fun and feel it." "You guys know enough about..." "Yeah." "And we're doing this where, you know, we're playing it like" "I just, you know..." "I've never had backup singers in my life." "This is my dream, and then these two beautiful backup singers come out." "Ladies and gentlemen, for the first time ever, the Coquettes!" "Yeah." "¶ Polk salad ¶" "¶ Polk salad ¶" "¶ Gonna have me a mess of ¶" "¶ Yeah, yeah ¶" "¶ Polk salad ¶" "¶ Yeah, yeah, yeah ¶" "¶ Gonna have me a mess of ¶" "¶ Yeah, yeah ¶" "¶ Gonna have some Polk salad ¶" "¶ Yeah, yeah ¶" "¶ Gonna have me a mess of ¶" "¶ Yeah, yeah ¶" "¶ Gonna have some Polk salad ¶ Come on, ladies!"

"¶ I can't wait to get my own show again ¶" "Change it in the middle." "Then it just starts to become this bitter..." "It'd actually be funny to have it start as "On the Road Again"" "and then morph into "I cannot wait for this"..." "Comedy people, check this out and see if I need to be pulled over and given a ticket or if we can possibly get away with this." "You want to sit over there, Zack, on the floor?" "We were playing "On the Road Again", which is a song, you know..." "¶ On the road again ¶" "Just a fun song, and I'd like to start it out as "On the Road Again", and then we come back and I go ¶ My own show again ¶" "¶ I can't wait to have my own show again ¶" "Give me a second." "Something with "at 10:00", like, the time." "Yeah." "¶ I'd even take a primetime show that's on at 10:00 ¶" "¶ I just want to be on the... ¶" "There's fuel there because..." "I am angry." "I'm really angry at times." "I'm trying not to be, but I'm really, really angry about... and I just have to be honest..." "I'm very angry about the way that I was treated, and I'm a person who's..." "I'm the least entitled person you'll meet in the world." "I don't think I was entitled to "The Tonight Show."" "I don't think I'm entitled to success in show business, but I'm just... sometimes I'm so mad, I can't even breathe." "And I do think that this show is some sort of, at least, positive expression, because all that... there's all that steam energy of being angry, and so it comes out a little bit in performance." "You can get out there and talk to people at least about being unemployed, being legally prohibited from being on television, which is gonna be something I talk about." "You can have the..." "I can play the executives." "And while that's not any one particular person, it definitely is me saying to the whole idea of non-creative people screwing over people that feed their bone marrow into the wood chipper of television," ""Fuck you", you know." "That's part of it." "I don't know what this was." "Jeff just told me to sign..." "to have you sign this." "Okay." "He didn't say where or anything?" "Did you want to..." "No, I think..." "No, no, I don't need to read it." "God knows I stopped reading things I signed a long time ago." "Are there any, of all the TV executives, like this at NBC?" "I don't know." "I haven't thought about them in a while." "There are some follicly challenged executives, I'm sure." "But... but, really, this represents no one person." "It represents two people." "Or make it three." "Um, hey, Sweeney, should we talk about how much" "I want to look or not look like..." "Hello, there!" "I'm a generic network executive." "My name is..." "I thought I'd stop in tonight and check out your pathetic little show in your pathetic little city." "Is someone walking in and out of the door?" "Please, someone." "We need someone to guard the door." "Gonna announce this thing, and then it's just time for the nausea and the self-doubt and the fear to take over." "That's the fun part." "All right, I'm gonna... where am I gonna be doing this from?" "You're gonna have to set it up for me to submit." "Wherever you want." "Well, we're gonna do it from your microcomputer." "It was made in Micronesia." "Are you..." "do you want to pull it up?" "No." "Do it on the..." "We're gonna do it early." "We're gonna do it right now." "I can't believe I'm here for this." "Hit it." " Good luck." "Hey, Internet, I'm headed to your town in a half-assed comedy/music tour." "It's in God's hands now." "What time is it?" "7:20." "By 7:40, I'm out of the business." " Sure." "The promoter in New York's telling me the first Radio City show is sold out." "It's what?" " So, everything's starting to go, huh?" "So, when do you think we're adding the second show in Radio City?" "Both shows in Chicago and the one show in Minneapolis are officially sold out." "700 tickets shy of selling out the second show at Radio City." "Holy smokes." "Jesu..." "Toronto will sell out today for sure." "Minneapolis will be done today." "The West Coast stuff is a little slower..." " Right." "Because it's early." " Yes." "Uhh..." "It's great." "2.000 tickets already sold on the second show in Chicago." "Oh." "Well, it's getting crushed, I'm sure." "Yeah." "Cynthia just got the tweet." "She can't get onto the site." ""The site right now is jammed with traffic." "You can't get on, go to Ticketmaster."" "Let's write that up and send it out." "I think it's jammed with traffic... yes." "You're all dressed!" "Nothing motivates you to figure out what your show is like selling a whole bunch of tickets... to it." "After the band's done their first two songs, they stop playing, the place gets quiet, all the lights go out, and we go."

"You guys okay with the audio?" "I'm not getting any response from anybody." "It's just looking into a pit." "All right." "Well, enjoy your death star." "I'm trying... you had a problem with the audio, and I'm trying to determine if that's been set." "It's just a question of the mix when you're playing..." "I just wanted to see you stand up." "I appreciate it." "Let's go." "I had this idea that I've talked about, which is to wear... wear a suit that's an exact replica of the one that Eddie Murphy wore in "Raw."" "Bend over." "Touch your knees, please." "Monday, I think I'm getting fitted for it." "Daddy, you look silly." "Fuck, yeah." "Oh, my God." "I don't even think I can sit down in this outfit." "Well, it would be interesting to see you try and sit in a bean bag chair." "Oh." "Is that a butter sauce?" "Can you see if you can find Sona?" "Look at that fish." "I think that's butter sauce." "What'd it say when you ordered it?" "I just need just a simple piece of grilled fish." "Sorry to have to let you go over this." "Oh." "I think the restaurant just messed up, 'cause..." "Either way, you're losing your job over this." "I really do not want to lose my job." "That's what people who lose their job say." "Who says, "I'm glad I'm losing my job"?" "I think I could be good." " Yes?" "We have another one coming." "I just sent the other runner." "Did you get me a new assistant?" " I'm trying to keep my job." "Do you mean a new assistant coming?" "That's cool." "I'm just trying to keep my job." "It's fine." "This happens often." "With ordering food out on tour, you have to check everything." "We can't..." "It's just..." "Oh, so Sona should check things?" "Oh." " No, no, no." "Like..." "Gus, I can't believe you would..." "No, I'm not throwing her under the bus." " Gus, you're missing the point." "I want you to throw Sona under the bus." "It gives me joy." "Tony can tell you what happened, but it's gonna be fine." "Over half the time, I do it right." " Yeah." "That's great." "If you were an airplane pilot, there'd be a lot of dead people out there." "And I'm trying to keep it lean, and she keeps going out and getting me fish that lived in butter." "It actually lived and grew up in butter." "But you're gonna be fine." "I said no butter." "Usually I'm at a certain weight and then when I went off TV..." "There was a period there of..." "Just... no, that's okay." "Of just, like, cheese popcorn." "There was, like, what I call my "fuck it" period." ""Fuck them." "Fuck them." "They're crazy."" "Oh, God." "Hello?" "Job'?" "Tell me it's a job." "I'm still... we're making it up." "First you got to sell tickets." "We did that." "That's the hard part." "Then you come up with a show." "Apple's new iPad will be declared the most revolutionary device of the last 50 years by the editors of Things to Snort Cocaine Off Of magazine." "Oh, the TBS thing is at 4:00." "We find out how real that is, if that's really happening." "Yeah, we're not going on TBS." "When is our meeting on Oxygen, Jeff?" "All I know is that Sona hears these things and then moves heaven and earth to make sure that we cancel our rehearsals so that you and I drag our asses to TBS." "And then it's USA." "My scheme is for Animal Planet." "All right, now, ladies and gentlemen, I know you're glad to see the masturbating bear, but there is a problem." "The masturbating bear is legally the property of NBC." "Ladies and gentlemen, say good-bye to the masturbating bear and say hello to a brand-new character that you're gonna see tonight for the first time, our own self-pleasuring panda." "Guys, guys, there's a problem here." "When I say, "the self-pleasuring panda", he never seems to know to go, and then you guys keep playing, so nothing happens." "Can the actor who's playing... who is it?" " Blake." "Blake, can you not hear me when I say, "the self-pleasuring panda"?" "What's that?" " Oh, fuck you." "Kiss LaBamba." "And then we cut to LaBamba." "Hold it." "Hold it." "That's important." "If we don't have the cut to Loco Richie there, then we got nothing." "It's got to be LaBamba." "Bang." "This thing's a train wreck." "Oh, I just rubbed this microphone into my leaking eye." "Sorry." "Seriously, no one touch this microphone." "There's eye discharge on the mike." "Yeah, that's the problem." "Left and right, chopaholics." "I want these fucking people..." "It's like bang, bang, bang, bang, bang." "And I was trying to make it happen today, and you thought, "Oh, he's insulting me."" "I know that." " Check it out, guys." "Hello?" "Hello?" "Banana Company." "Fuck." "Fuck." "That's what he did." "No, there's no support here." "I went out on a limb with Banana Company." "Hey, telephone call for you." "Pick it up." "Hello?" "Banana Company." " Yes!" "I like using human puppets." "Can I ask a question about..." "That was just to look at all of 'em." "Yeah, we're not sure if we're gonna do them all." "And from now on... and I'm not even kidding about this... when you want to speak, you have to talk into the banana telephone." "I'm not gonna talk into the banana." " You have to." "Guys, Sona's on." "Sona's got something to say." "What is it, Sona?" "This is really demeaning." " Yes." "Yes." "I don't know why..." "You're asking me to talk into a banana." "I just did it seven times, and you're too good to do it?" "This is not a good work environment." "What's happening right now is not healthy for me." "We lost two songs, "Seduce You" and "Creep."" "Matt, what do you got?" "Oh, yeah." "Matt, make a suggestion in the banana phone." "Does everyone like "On the Road Again"?" "I was just throwing it out there." "You know." " Well, guess what I'm doing..." "Throwing it back." " Okay." "Okay?" "You're a guy that works in the Louvre," "You saw the Mona Lisa, and you tossed it out the window." "Luckily, I came by, saw it, and brought it back, okay?" "And you're like, "Well, I was just throwing it out there."" "You threw the Mona Lisa out of the Louvre, you idiot." "You think doing "On the Road Again" is the Mona Lisa?" "And this is the Louvre?" " Yes." "All right." " Yes." "I like that." "And I'm sick of people saying that I'm drunk with power, that I've lost my perspective." "Who says that?" "Can I talk?" " Yes." "Ohh!" "Now she comes over." "You had asked me earlier..." "I can't hear you." "You asked me earlier..." " Hold it." "Just hold it." " Can't concentrate." "So, we lost about 16 minutes with all that stuff, so it's about a minute, 13 now." "I mean an hour, 13." "You said a minute, 13, and you said it into a banana." "I am extremely hard on myself." "Sometimes that spills onto other people, you know, because I'm that hard on myself, and then when things aren't quite right," "I'm making these jokes that have an edge to them that are, like, to Mike Sweeney, the head writer, to Jeff Ross, like, "Oh, really?" "So, that's the best we could do?"" "Or this." "And they're little jabs." "And they're jokes with quotation marks around them..." "Just stretching out." "But it's me trying to keep..." "I'm trying to keep everything in the stew pot." "I'm trying to just keep it all, you know, there and not have it spill out." "Um, want to... want to oil that?" "Um..." "See?" "That's an example." "That's me letting my wife know I find that irritating." "But it's all fun and joking." "And she's gonna leave me, and it's a 50/50 state, California." "How does the crowd look?" "Who are they?" "What will we learn?" "What will we learn?" "You'll learn what comedy bits work." "Not necessarily." "That's actually true." "Sorry." "'Cause you're doing a lot of Eugene references." "You learn what former "Tonight Show" staffers like." "What's your prediction?" "Will they like what we're serving up?" "Yes." "I think so." "Why wouldn't they?" "I don't know." "Thank you very much!" "Everybody, please sit down!" "Thank you for being here, people that used to work for me."

"We're trying out a lot of stuff." "We know that I'm trying out..." "throwing a million things at you, and we appreciate people coming all the way here and being an audience for us tonight." "So, thank you so much for doing that." "I appreciate it from the bottom of my heart." "Okay, everybody, thank you very much!" "How are you?" " I was talking to Eddie Haskell." "Oh... oh." " Yes." "So, we got fixes and things to do, but what'd you think?" "It felt like..." "I think the energy you're gonna encounter is not a seated energy." "Do you know what I mean?" " Right." "How'd it feel?" "Have you talked to the kids?" "No." "Mnh-mnh." "Are we gonna tell them that I'm gonna be taking some trips to go do my show but I'm gonna call them and..." "They know their old man's in vaudeville." " That's right." "You know what Daddy has to do?" "I think I have to get ready to leave." " Okay." "Daddy has to go and get on the plane and go to... where?" "Do you remember where I'm going?" "Can I call you on the iChat?" "Who's gonna operate the computer iChat?" " We will operate." "In improvisational acting, there's this great rule that I've used in my life, which is act as if." "Act as if this is completely normal." "Call me Conan, please." "Of course I'm supposed to be interviewing Barack Obama or of course I'm supposed to be playing guitar with Bruce Springsteen." "And, of course, there's a big part of you inside that's saying, "What are you talking about?"" "This doesn't feel completely real." "It doesn't feel completely real to me." "This is just an extension of replacing David Letterman at the age of 30." "How's that first show gonna go?" "What do you think, Sona?" "I think it's gonna go really well." "I think I saw a sign that said Sheboygan, Wisconsin." "Sheboygan?" "I kill 'em in Sheboygan." "Let's push this crowd back." "This is..." "I need room here." "Everyone, give me some room." "Get these people back!" "I want everyone back!" "No!" "No photos!" "For security reasons," "I think we should change our hotels at the last second." "Right." "To something twice as expensive." "Yeah." "It's something I learned from Saddam Hussein." "Yeah." "All right, sir." "At what time..." " Good luck, man." "Hey, thank you very much." " You got a raw deal, man." "We're with you." " Thank you very much." "I appreciate it." "Conan, you got the shaft, brother." "Oh, don't worry about that." "I'm okay." "I love how we got here early so you could go out and get recognized." "Get the fuck out of here." "I didn't do that." "You're speaking tomorrow, right?" "Yes, yes." " I hope it goes well." "It'll be more than speaking." "Why don't you just go?" "Hi!" "', guys." "Make it bigger." "Hi, Daddy." "Can you guys hear me?" "Hello?" "This thing is no good." "That's their actual reaction to you." "Hello." " Hi." "Daddy, you can..." "They're usually more animated." "Did you call your folks and tell 'em you're here all right and everything?" "Oh, hi, Mom." "How you doing?" "Yeah, yeah, I'm in Eugene." "I have my own room." "I'm at the Hilton." "It was cool, Mom." "I was a baller." "What?" " Private planes." "Tell your mother I don't understand half of what you're saying." "Oh, Conan doesn't understand how I speak sometimes." "Okay." "All right, dude." "Dude?" "Who calls..." "All right, Mom." "I love you." "I'll talk to you soon." "Do you know which way we're heading?" "No." "Should I be worried that we're opening in a town where nobody lives?" "I don't see anybody." "There's nobody here." "Okay" "It's gonna be all right." "They'll show up." "So, you need a ticket." "Can you hold it up a little bit for us?" "I thought it was..." "Stage is this way?" "Over cheek area and forehead, at hairline and temples." "Do not use heavily under cheek." "Will give too much depth of cheek gaunt." "What does that do?" "You're... it just adds color, gives you a natural glow." "I wish I had a natural glow." "It's not your fault." "How are the Andy Richter urinal mints selling?" "His idea." "Through the roof." " Yeah." "People can't wait to pee on you." "He said everybody loves pissing on my face." "At least get out in front of a big, you know, crowd again." "It's been... a while." "And..." "I really miss it." "Just before the plane crashes..." " Yes." "The pilots from Aeroflot."

"Thank you for that." "That feels good." "I've been off the air for 31/2 months." "I missed applause." "This is..." "I got to tell you, it's very nice." "There are eight stages of mourning the loss of your talk show." "Stage two... blame myself." "Folks, I didn't spend a lot of time on that stage, 'cause what the hell did I do?" "Yeah." "So..." "No." "I blew past this stage, and I went right to stage three... blame everyone else around me." "I blamed everybody and everything, and this led to stage four... anger." "I was really, really angry." "And I wasn't just angry that I wasn't on television anymore." "I was mad that I'm not on TV, but other people still are." "That's right." "Other people still get to be on television, but not Conan O'Brien." "Now, I don't want to be petty and name names, but what I will do is show you photos of them as I name their names." "And then, finally, there's that last step... that last step that makes all the difference, the step where you win your esteem back." "You wake up one day, you put on your clothes, you pull yourself together, you grow a pair, you look in the mirror, and you get your ass to Eugene, Oregon!" "That's what you do!" "This is a cool opportunity for me." "This is my opportunity to tell you who I am, how I grew up, and how I came to be." "Do you want to hear this story?" "It's a pretty good story." "You do?" "Let's have some music, Jim." "Now, I'm gonna need a little more help with this, ladies and gentlemen." "So, right now please welcome, for the first time on this stage or any stage, the Coquettes!" "Oh, my God." "Yeah." "You know, since this is a tour, we were thinking about calling them the Tourettes, but they kept shouting, "Fuck."" "It was kind of weird." "All right, I'm gonna tell you a little something about me." "I don't know if anyone's ever been back East much." "You've been back East much?" "I come from a place called Brookline, Massachusetts." "Yeah." "It's an affluent suburb of Boston." "It was pretty tough growing up in Brookline, 'cause most people..." "most people were upper-class." "But we... we were upper middle-class." "It was hell." "My mama, my poor, old mama, my sainted mama..." "I love my mama, but she had it tough." "You see, my mama is a lawyer at Ropes  Gray Law Firm in downtown Boston." "She specializes in tax and trusts, and she made partner really quickly." "Pulls in a lot of money." "Did very well for herself." "And my daddy..." "my daddy was no good." "My daddy is no good." "My daddy works at Brigham Women's Hospital." "He's a microbiologist." "He studies infectious diseases." "He's done a lot of work with the World Health Organization." "Real white trash."

"¶ This song is bullshit ¶" "Yeah, it's just a song about growing up poor in the South that I always liked." "And I wanted to sing it, so kind of fudged the facts a little bit." "Two things and only two things will get you out of a song like this." "That's right." "I'm talking strobe lights and crazy movement!" "¶ Gonna have me a mess of ¶" "¶ I want to have a Polk salad ¶" "¶ My mama shopped at Whole Foods ¶" "¶ My daddy had a good job ¶" "¶ Everybody ¶" "¶ Everybody, yeah, yeah ¶" "¶ Gonna have Polk salad ¶" "Ha!" "Yeah!" "The Coquettes, ladies and gentlemen!" "Thank you, Eugene!" "Thank you, thank you." "That's that." "What'd you think?" "We have to do 44 more of those, so I got to tone it down, maybe." "I don't know." "How do you feel?" " I don't feel that euphoria." "I don't know." "I just..." "I like doing it, and then when it's done, you're just, like..." "Everyone's just focused on what could be better, what could be fixed, which is good." "That's how you get it to be better." "But it's like... so, it's not like, "Yeah!" "Let's all high-five each other."" "It's really good to have one done, though." "I have to say that." "I just don't know how we're gonna do more of them." "It looks all right." "Great job, Bill." "Good to see you." "How are you?" "Hey." "Hey." "How are you?" "Hey." "How are you?" "Good to see you." "Here's the thing that really got me." "At the end, you're going up the alley." "Went right behind me, right?" " Right." "You came back down, you kissed a girl." "You came down, you kissed a guy." "Right." "Of course." " The row behind me." "The guy says." ""Now I can die happy."" "You really looked happy, man." "Oh, I was thrilled... yeah, just thrilled." "You got to pack it up and go." "You're going to Vancouver tomorrow?"

"Well, now that you've been doing it, has that changed at all?" "It feels really good to go out and perform in front of people... and be in contact with people that are enthusiastic about me and what I do, and so that's obviously healthy or feels good." "And then there are other times where I'll just... be back at the hotel, and I'll be thinking about what went down with those, you know, people at NBC, and I'll be really mad about it all over again."

"I had a different Jack McBrayer on the phone." "Okay, he can't help..." "Stop it!" "Ha ha ha, I can't help it." "How come you get to hang out with him?" "There's such an inequality." "I don't want to sound rude." " Too late." "But it is." "It's like watching the Monopoly money guy walking around with a pig on a leash." "It's ridiculous." "Yee-haw!" "Come on." "Will you say that this is crazy for me to be doing this before a show?" "Well, who's in control of things around here?" "No, you can't put this on Sona." "She's like 18." "So far, it's been the most fun I've had in show business." "Crazy." "Who has a party for..." "Who does that?" "Who entertains people before a show?" "I want to find someone."

"They've paid to make me go away." "It was good, right?" "Yes, it was good." "I think I lost 30 pounds on that one." "I'm what they called in vaudeville a sweat act." "We're gonna have a problem." "What's that?" " There's always an excuse for me to talk." "Like, "Well, it would be good if you run this phone call." "It'd be good if you came by." "It'd be good if you talk to these people." "It would really help." "It'll just take 10 minutes." "It'll take 15 minutes." But it never does." "You could shoot me in the left lung and I'll do this show, but if I lose my voice, we're done."

"Did it work out?" "Really nice to meet you." " Pleasure." "Thanks a lot." " Nice to see you." "Nice meeting you guys." " Nice meeting you." "Thank you." " Sit, sit, sit, sit." "Because it's the fucking craziness afterwards that is kind of killing me." "It's not the show that's gonna kill me." "And there's this whole culture of backstage, and, you know, I have real friends that I want to talk to, but other people just come in, and I don't even know them." "Let's have a system..." "Where's Jeff Ross?" "We start it with Jeff Ross." "This is not your job." "This is ridiculous." " Yeah, but I could be like, "Hey, you got to go."" "And then you could be like, "Ooh."" "I could be very authoritative." "I'm gonna make you a tea..." "a throat coat." "Mom." " Yes, throat coat." "No, you don't have to..." "Don't make me a throat..." "I don't want to drink that shit." "Seriously." " You want it with chamomile?" "No." "You know what I want to do?" "Not talk to 100 people, you know, who I don't even know, not have each Coquette bring in 35 people." "I'd like somebody to help me." "People take the hinges off the door, and everybody from the audience comes in here afterwards and want different combinations of photos." ""I want a photo." "Now I want a photo where you can string dance." "Can you hold this banana?" "It's a private joke with my friend from Iowa."" "See which Coquette that is." "We're going in." "There we are, man." "Borgata." "Atlantic City." "We're gonna hit it, we're gonna quit it." "Two shows." "One night." "How are you?" " Good." "Good." "I got to go do some meet and greet." "I'll be right back." " Okay." "Think I'll give a little piece of my soul away." "One, two, and three." "And I know she definitely wants one one-on-one." "You made this." "Thank you so much." "Do you have any advice how to get our children into Episcopal?" "Uh..." "Idiot!" "Stupid..." "Fat little man." "Is that frickin' pizza?" " It's frickin' pizza." "What's this?" "Is this a telegram?" "It's from Jay Leno." ""Hope stand-up's going well." "Ha ha." "See, it's not so hard after all." "Anyone can do it." "What's it like to have a soul?"" "I don't even know what he's..." "Oh, they're hardcore about the support for Conan O'Brien." "I-A-N." ""We told The Chin on his recent trip there..."" "What the fuck?" ""Masturbating bear pizza."" "No way." " "Conan is a hero in our eyes." "He honorably stepped down, poked a little fun all the way, and dignifiedly let The Chin place himself on a pedestal of garbage."" "I'm not making this up." "This is real." "Who is this for?" "This one's Goldie Olson." ""This is a huge and monumental day in the history of Atlantic City, and everyone should roll out the red carpet for our old Irish pal."" "It looks like terrible, terrible pizza." "Anyway, the point is, I'm feeling pretty sexy right now." "You know how it works." "Sexy man on tour equals groupies." "I'm looking for some Coco groupies right now." "We got to find some." "My friend Andy Richter has a camera, and Andy is gonna scan the crowd right now, and he's gonna find us some groupies." "Yes, okay." "Oh, my goodness." "Whoo!" "Please keep it..." "What are you doing?" "Are you spanking a pony?" "What are you doing?" "Oh, God." "I don't think we sell that t-shirt." "Hi." "Hey." "What the fuck?" "Wait a minute." "What is that?" "He knows how to work it." "Whoo!" " I like your hair." "Wait." "Oh, my God." "Aah!" "I would." "Hey, it's me." "I'm just calling you in between..." "in between shows." "10 minutes, Conan." "Sona, 10 minutes." "See that crowd right there?" "That's the crowd tonight." "That's tonight's crowd." "I'm like, "Hey, how you folks doing?"" "Yeah!" "Kick 'em in the face!" "Powder." "Oh, sweet powder." "Protect my skin, powder." "Absorb all moistures." "Oh, powder." "Sweet powder." "Paint the illusion my skin is dry." "Oh, powder." "Shut the fuck up." "You got a show to do." "Oh, powder." "I can't..." "I can't breathe." "Powder, your natural enemy is sweat." "I walked away from the greatest franchise in history 'cause I refused to go on at midnight, and here I am on at midnight." "Hey, folks, how you doing tonight?" "We're great." "Okay, that was horrible." "How are you doing tonight?" "We're great!" "Are you enjoying the show so far?" "Yeah, it's fine." "It's fine?" "It's fine?" "I'm trying to give you the best show I can." "If I'm not doing something you want to see, you got to tell me right now." "Kiss LaBamba!" "No." "Kiss him like he's your girlfriend and you've been on a submarine for six months." "Let's get out of here." "Let's make like a cold wind and blow." "Another day, another dollar."

" Elaine." "Oh, my God." " Hey, Lindsay." "How are you?" " I'm Jen." "How's it going?" "We're headed to Boston." "I have a band, and..." "So, I do comedy, but then I jump in with them 'cause I play guitar and sing, and we do..." "it's a mix." "I like your glasses." "Those are cool." "You like this?" " Yeah." "Yeah." "Take care." "Nice to meet you." "Nice to meet you." "Bye-bye." "Keep the bling." "Get more bling." "Yeah, we wish you all the best." "I'm sorry they did what they did." "No, you know what?" "I was sorry at the time, too, and then it turns out to be..." "I wouldn't have been able..." "I wouldn't have been able to do the tour." "We're headed to Martha's Vineyard." "Ooh, that's gonna be nice." "Can we pray for you?" "Can you what?" " Pray for you?" "Oh, pray for me?" "Sure, you can." "Yeah." "Dear God, I thank you, Father, for this moment, oh, God, for allowing us to meet Conan O'Brien, Lord, on our journey, Father, but I'm asking, oh, God, that you open doors for this man, oh, God," "that his finances are in your hands, oh, God." "Keep him safe and his family, God." "Bless him unconditionally, in Jesus' name." "Amen." "Wow." "That's really beautiful." "Thank you for doing that." " Take care." "There's a reason why you're here and we're here." "¶ I can't wait to get on the road again ¶" "¶ Dear God, please let me have a show again ¶" "So, we'll stay over after the second Boston show, leave in the afternoon as late as possible, probably 3:00 to go to Uncasville, where we're on after the basketball game." "Then we'll overnight after that to Nashville." "It's an 11-hour drive." "Can we talk about Bonnaroo for two minutes?" "Oh, nice." "The dressing-room situation is very primitive." "One of the van buses will be backstage." "That's fine." "You look at me." "I'm a road dog now." " I know." "Don't you worry about me." "I'll piss in a bucket, I'll shit in your hat." "It doesn't matter to me." "I know you don't enjoy "Rock this Town", but I have more fun doing that than anything else, and I'm entitled to have some fun." "Yeah, but at whose expense?" "Bye-bye, Beantown." "There are showers in here, but they look very suspicious." "I'm not sure I love these Wang showers." "I'm suspicious, but I think I have to take a shower." "What's the worst that could happen?" "Thank you." " Thanks, Conan." "No pictures, guys." "No pictures, guys." "No pictures, guys." "No pictures, guys." "No pictures." "They don't let us keep these buses here." "Bye, Conan!" "See you guys in a while." "Hi, Mr. O'Brien." "My name's Andy." "Just don't speak to me." "All right, I won't." "Don't worry." "The entire ride home, don't worry." "I won't say a word to you." "you lived here for 20 years of your life, and you have an emotional connection with this town?" "Yeah." "I really like this town." "But I didn't..." "I'm not from here, so I never felt like this was my home." "But now I don't even feel like Boston's my home." "Los Angeles doesn't really feel like my home." "I don't know where my home is." "Hey, Chelsea." " Hi." "How are you?" "Would you like to do any photos or anything?" "It it okay to do one of these things?" "I can..." "But you won't?" " Okay." "What the fuck?" "You do that, you do this." "It's all about moving these hips." "I love Flight of the Conchords." "Oh, thank you." " So nice to meet you." "Nice to meet you, too." "Um, let me see if he's still talking to her." "Oh, hi." " Hi." "How are you?" "Good." "I'm Kristen." " Hi." "Nice to meet you." " It's nice to meet you, too." "I just wanted to give you a present." "Look at that." "That's great." "Thanks, dude." "All right, bye." "You think David Hockney's queer?" "No." "I said it's hot in here." "I haven't talked to Sweeney yet about the plan with Colbert." "Is it a surprise?" "Is he just gonna walk onstage?" "I don't..." "This is the least re..." "I mean, there's no rehearsal." "I hereby grant to you..." " No!" "Right." "You do one of those." " That's great." "So, they know to stop the music when you get hurt?" "Do they know to stop..." "No." "I'm gonna tell them." "Conan O'Brien." "You challenge me..." "Then I give you another." "So, you dance first." "Right." "Then I... then maybe we go together." "And then, Jon... you walk out and you stop it." "You stop the music." "Okay, you should get ready." "Andy comes out and shoots Jon." "Andy shoots Jon." " Wait, what?" "That's a bit lazy." "Does anyone here think that seems a bit lazy?" "That was a big milestone to get past..."

"It's kind of hard to take photos with everybody, you know." "Come on." " Oh, you mean just for you, you mean?" "You're the nicest guy." "Come on." "That guy said that was the only one." "Oh, so I guess that guy was lying." "I guess that guy was a dick." "Guys, we're done with the pictures, 'cause..." ""Come on!" Is that your catchphrase?" "You can keep saying, "Come on, come on", but it's really not coming across too well." "Can we get a picture?" "It's much easier to sign stuff." "Hey, everybody, I got to go." "Thank you so much!" "See you." "Can you shut that fucking door?" "Thank you." " Take care." "See you, man." "Thanks." "From here on in, I want to make sure that the days off are really days off."

"In 6 months, I've gone from hosting "The Tonight Show"" "to performing at a refugee camp." "You seem to want to get a picture close up." "Do you?" "Do you want to get a closer picture?"

"Here's the fucking nuts" or something." "I mean, couldn't it be just like, literally, "How you doing?", one joke and then..."

"And moving forward, you know, there's a lot of not..." "No one's thinking about burning me out." "Nobody's thinking about it." "And when I burn out and everyone doesn't have a job anymore, they're gonna be pissed." "We have to be thinking about, like, "Wait a minute." "Really?" "He's doing a whole day with Jack White and he's doing Bonnaroo and he's introducing all the acts and he's gonna stay late and introduce Jay-Z and Stevie Wonder?"" "Jim is informing me that, you know, the festival would like more than just a line or two." "Just... that's been their take all along." "I honestly..." "I didn't even know he was introducing until I e-mailed Jeff two days ago." "I thought he was introducing one act." "One act every three hours." "Okay." " I hate Jeff right now." "Let's start at the beginning." "We've got Nas and Goo Goo." "Let's start thinking of funny lines for Nas and Goo Goo and how to do it, and then we'll get through that." "Then it's on to the 55 other things I have to introduce that someone at WME agreed to that Jeff checked off on a box." "Do you like reggae without all the drug-king violence?" "You're in the right place." "There's been trouble down in Sri Lanka." "People told me when a comedian comes out in front of a festival crowd, he should keep it short and get right to the music." "But I'm gonna go a different way." "I'm about to do two hours on the life of Bess Truman." "Everyone have a seat." "This is gonna take a while."

"I do a whole thing about Bess Truman." "I'll find you later." " Bess Truman?" "Just listen." "All right, this is embarrassing, but someone's gonna have to help me write these names on my hand." "'Cause I'm telling you, I'll get out there, and my life is so fucking crazy, that's all I need in front of 70.000 people is to forget Nas and Jojo." "Just put N-O-Z-Z." "Are you guys ready to rock?" "Yeah!" "Okay, that's nice, but not quite accurate." "Are we ready to reggae?" "Are you ready to..." "and hip-hop." "Yeah, and hip-hop." "Are you ready to get your freak on in 95% humidity?" "Yeah!" "We be jammin'." "Ladies and gentlemen, Damian Marley." "And Nas!" "How are you?" "How do you do?" "I do, too." "I do, too." "Sona?" "Why?" " Because it's a habit." "And sometimes..."

"Cabin's pressurized for your comfort." "If there's a change of pressure, masks will drop." "If they ever do drop, just pull so that piece is engaged and put that mask over your nose and mouth." "Two fire extinguishers on board." "They're both up front." "One's behind the captain on the bulkhead, and the other's by that main cabin door..." "Which part's the bulkhead?" "Okay." "Thank you very much." "I introduced Nas." "What's that?" "Damian Marley." "Okay." "I introduced them both." "I know Nas." "All right." "Thank you." "Nom, nom, nom." "Okay" "Oh, my God." "Oh, come on." " I know Nas." "I introduced Damian Marley and Nas." "Hey, did you guys see me introduce Damian Marley and Nas?" "Gus, did you see that?" "Hey, Jeff?"

"Are you cool or are you uncool?" "So, Conan, who's your hip-hop heroes?" "Well, I guess it would be Nas." " Yeah." "And if it was reggae, it would be Damian Marley." "Yeah." "I should probably go pretty soon." "But anyway..." " All right." "Well, keep it hip-hop, then, Conan." "Listen, I'll tell you something, my friend." "A-rap-rap ribbety-rap, a-rap-rap rabbity rat." "I said, rap-rap ribbety-rap, rap-rap." "I said, a-rap-rap ribbety-rap." "It's got to stop, you know, 'cause it's... it's very Peter Pan, you know?" "It's very, "I'll never grow up", you know what I mean?" "I'll just jump around in the Eddie Murphy "Raw" suit forever." "This is the most satisfying thing I've ever done in show business." "And I've been in show business since 1985, and this is the purest hit of excitement and adrenaline and everything that I love about show business, but..." "One can see the sickness of it, too." "If I was away all the time..." "I mean, I haven't seen my kids in..." "It's this weird problem where I absolutely love this and I also understand that this needs to stop pretty soon."

"Thanks for doing this with me." " Just doing what you love." "Thank you for asking me." " Oh, Jesus Christ, are you kidding?" "It's been the best... uh, the best summer camp I've ever been to." "I know." "It was crazy." "I don't know what this was that just happened." "This is a special thing." "It's chocolate cake." "You don't want to make it every meal, you know?" "Hey, you eat chocolate cake every meal." "Yeah." "You did..." "you did a great, great job." "So did you." "You did a great job." "You should be very proud." "You did great." "You really helped me." "See that?" "I'm crying." "Does it look like I'm crying?" "My whole career has been trying to get closer and closer and closer to the real gritty core of show business." "You know, I used to have these gigs where I was in a bungalow with... thinking of concepts." "I kept thinking, "This isn't it, this isn't it, this isn't it, this isn't it."" ""Saturday Night Live" felt much closer." ""The Late Night Show" felt much closer 'cause there's people in the hallway in horse costumes."
