This is a question I ask of everybody I talked to
and I am dying to know the answer from you.
Conan O'Brien.
What if your question is, can I have some money?
No, god no.
This is a question I ask everybody.
Could I have $300?
I haven't worked a day in my life?
I just do a volume business of asking people for money.
(laughing)
My question to you is,
Conan O'Brien what is your favorite dinosaur?
Oh, wow.
Well, it used to be the T-Rex until you said T-Rex
and now I think I have to go with Diplodocus,
'cause it's the only other name I can remember.
That's a good name.
That's a great dinosaur.
Which one is Diplodocus, I forgot?
It is one of the longest of the sauropod.
So you mentioned that brontosaurus before.
Yes, I liked it 'cause I'm very long
and the Diplodocus is very long
and it lives in the water, doesn't it?
No, no, no, actually they lived
across the Plains in Savannas.
They were actually, they walked around in huge force
and they could whip their tails so fast
it could like sound like thunder as they walked around,
but a Diplodocus was a massive animal.
I'm sorry, excuse me, sir, Diplodocus.
Actually, they're both right, it's crazy.
This is.
Dammit, I want to be an ass and correct to you.
You say Diplodocus?
It's a tomato tomato situation.
Diplodocus or a Diplodocus, it comes from the Greek
and that jerk Stavros, it means double beam.
It's based on the way that the bones of the tail look
and they called it the di plodocus or plodocus
whichever way you want to do it
and they say both interchangeably.
Well, now I say Diplodocus.
Lovely.
I just want to be different.
Well, that's my pick.
That's my pick for favorite dinosaur.
That's an excellent choice.
When I showed this duck bill before,
you said this dinosaur kind of looked like you.
Well, just that hair, yeah.
I feel like I got a better one.
I think I have something else
that kind of fits the Conan bill a little bit more.
This is a dinosaur called Therizinosaurus.
Oh, wow.
Very tall, it's got these really great proportions.
It's got the long arms,
it's got the shimmering orange haired on the side
and then what I like about this one
is that it can also do the string dance.
Oh, look at that.
And then that's when the dance is over
it's got its own scissors built in.
It could just cut the string.
Okay, you know what's clear to me now?
You are in no way a scientist.
You are a prop comic.
You're a prop comic.
(laughing)
You're the Gallagher of paleontology.
Yeah, you're Gallagher three.
Your house is just filled with toys and kooky sight gags.
Conan if they make sounds they're toys,
if they don't they're models.
How long have you lived alone?
I'm just curious.
No, actually I've been married for nine years now
and she puts up with all of it.
Fantastic.
And she loves it.
It's important that you too do not go extinct.
I'm going to say, I am a fan of yours.
I love people that know stuff.
I really do.
I love people that have educated themselves and know things
and also you're very upbeat about what you do
which is really infectious and I think it's very cool.
I think it's very cool and I say,
I say go out and get more dinosaur replicas.
I didn't want to say toys.
He said get more.
(laughing)
And the divorce begins.
You tell him no.
We just hear a door slam.
Car starts.
I look at that room you're in
and I think not enough dinosaurs.
That's what I think.
Well, Jimmy it was a pleasure meeting you seriously
and best of luck to you
and I hope our paths cross someday
and I hope you find your dinosaur.
I really do.
Conan it's been an honor.
Thank you so much for having me on.
It's been an absolute pleasure.
I'll see you around next time.
Thanks Jimmy.
Bye.
And Jimmy, by the way,
you've got a great Jack Black energy.
You really do.
I've known Jack for a long time
but you've got that same kind of, that's a compliment.
I try to keep it loosey goosey Cones.
I knew it, I knew it.
Jack, take off that mask.
