I have a question.
I watched the walking dead and I have questions.
No Zombie animals?
No Zombie animals.
You know, there must be Zombies
that bite an animal every now and then.
And, and why aren't there, you know,
little baby chicks walking around, you know.
(laughs)
why aren't there snakes going slither, slither.
The honest answer to that
is a walking is based on a comic book.
[Conan] Yeah.
The artist that draws the comic book
Charlie Adlard loves drawing people.
Love drawn Zombies does not enjoy drawing animals so much.
So when we sit down, we look at the comic
and we're like, Oh, we got to turn this into a show.
They go, Hey, there's no one knows Zombie animals in there.
Okay. We're not gonna put that in the show.
[Conan] Right.
Okay. My next question is about the speed of Zombies.
Some Zombies walk incredibly slowly.
They're just so slow.
And when I'm watching,
I think I'm not scared of that Zombie.
I could get away.
I got plenty of time to get away from that Zombie.
Other Zombies seem a little more agile.
Are these Zombies that work out?
(audience lough)
Are they Zombies that,
do they Carbo-load early in the day?
Why are some Zombies apparently faster than others?
You know, they like to change it up.
They like to keep you guessing.
You know, they get the slows Zombies out there.
Sometimes they bring in the fast ones to surprise you.
[Conan] Right.
People like you are like,
Oh, Zombies nothing to worry about.
And then all of a sudden there's a fast one.
There's a fast one and it freaks me out
Which is fast Zombie?
I like to think it has something to do
with how fresh they are.
You know, like a fresh Zombie can move a little faster.
Cause he's a little fresher of a dead body
well they're all dead bodies. Right?
[Conan] Yeah.
So I think about this of way too much.
[Conan] So a fresher Zombie,
like a Zombie that's only been dead for a while
moves quickly and then
And it smells better
And smell.
Yeah. Unless he's got the perfume and then there's a
(laughs)
Then there's an older Zombie
that's been around for a while
and maybe one of its legs fell off.
And that Zombie you don't have to worry about as much.
Muscles are decaying.
He's not moving so fast.
Right.
Okay. This is fantastic.
I find this fascinating
because the other thing that I wanted to ask you about
and Andy, I know that you watched the show as well.
And this is something that I had a question about
which is I get so mad at the group's decisions sometimes,
Sometimes they make the dumbest decisions
and I'm screaming at the screen.
someone will go, someone will lose their shoe.
And they'll say, where is it?
It's in that cornfield filled with Zombies.
(laughs)
What do we do?
And someone will say, I got it.
Let's break up into nine groups ,
run in there in the dark and meet back in six months.
Okay. That's not an exact clocK.
Yeah. I'm going to
(laughs)
But that's how it
He was only going to use that now.
(laughs)
I'll write that dow, hold on.
Yeah
But it was only three months.
They were going to come out of the cornfield
in three months.
(laughs)
They're always subdividing and running off into the night.
I'm like everyone stayed together.
It's so that the Zombies can pick them off individually.
[Conan] Yes.
Thank you.
This is why I'm not, this is why I'm not writing
for the walking dead.
I'd have them all hiding out in a mall.
Eating really like Cinnabon.
And with the doors chained, nobody gets hurt
and everybody eats Cinnabon for months.
(laughs)
That would be my walking dead.
That sounds okay to me.
You want to come in and guest write an episode.
I want to be in an episode.
That's my question
Oh! We can make that happen
No celebrity cameos.
Now in this world, a Conan O'Brien could exist.
Why couldn't there be a dead Zombie
Conan O'Brien talk show host who shuffles through.
I can see,
there's not a lot of popular support for this idea.
(audience applause)
Oh! No! No! No!
too late.
(audience lough)
If you think about it, realistically
all the celebrities would have gotten eaten first.
(laughs)
You think so?
I mean, a few of Zombie,
like what are you going to eat?
You're gonna eat some normal person.
You're gonna get a celebrity
[Conan] He'll be like, I recognize him.
(groaning)
They probably taste better.
They're usually leaner.
[Conan] You know, that's true.
I'm just thinking about it logically
Again you've answered every question that I've had.
I want to point one thing out to you.
(taps)
Pretty good right?
You're very good.
A little too good
(laughing)
But I want to make you aware of something.
The theme music for the walking dead is so scary.
Every time I watched the show
it immediately from the second it begins,
puts me in the mood to see Zombies
and puts me in that world.
And we just try and experiment
and we couldn't believe how well it synced up
we put the walking dead theme music
on the opening of our show
to show you how good this music is
and how much it actually alters your perception
of what you're about to see.
Take a look at our show with walking dead music.
('The Waling Dead Original Sound Track - Bear McCreary')
I'm scared of everything
(audience applause)
I'm frightened of James Franco now.
I'd watch that show.
Yeah.
(laughs)
I'd watch that show.
