Today we went to a taping of the Conan O'Brien show. Yay!!!! Danny, Ed and I dodged most of the traffic up to Universal City and had time to eat a yummy Italian lunch and get back in line to enter the studio. Below is the guest line up:
"I got a golden ticket~!" If you're the first 90 to the gate, you are given a golden ticket and can come back and still keep your place in line. That was a great system because there are so many tapings where you have to stay in line to keep your spot.
We got really good seats! We were seated 4 rows up right in front of Conan's table. The studio looked much smaller in person, but the entertainment given to the audience was huge!
(5:00) The show begins with Conan's usual monologue, and he goes outside with Andy Richter to entertain the Universal Studios tram riders with bowling. Only, Andy goes inside an enormous inflatable ball and Conan rolls him toward the pins! Conan runs back into the studio, the tram drives off and Andy is left hopeless in the parking lot trying to roll away! It's when he decides to roll back home and comes to the gates that he breaks it (broken gate below)! Ah~ fun times!
Conan and Andy did their "In The Year 3000" bit, followed by his usual talks with the guests. Antonio Banderas promotes "The Other Man," and Bill Hader promotes "Cloudy with a Chance of Meatballs." One funny thing he did with Antonio was a tomato fight, in which Andy and the Max Weinberg band joined! Conan got pretty damp! Then the show ended with Chris Cornell singing "Imagine."
