as I said the biggest question I've been
getting last couple days is what are you
gonna do what are you gonna do the
second biggest question I've been
getting is what have you been doing two
months off the air people want to know
what I've been doing the truth is for
the past two months this is true I've
been in my office with my production
staff we've pretty much been camped out
spend every day in my office and hanging
around our ninth floor offices here in
Rockefeller Center and I thought it'd be
cool to show people just kind of what my
life has been like during the strike so
the other day I grabbed a camera so I
could show you what my life has been
like during the strike and this is just
just me telling you what's going on take
a look
biggest question I've been getting
lately is Conan what do you do during a
writer's strike what do you actually do
with your time well we're about two
months into this strike and this is
pretty much it I spend a lot of time
here in my office this is my office
I sit here not a lot going on pretty
much look for things to do try and keep
busy try and keep the mind active I go
through a Christmas card started showing
up a few weeks ago so I've been going
through all my Christmas cards I got a
ton of them here some of them are from
pretty cool people cheap trick right
there sent me their Christmas card
it's incidentally a photo I think it was
taken in 1979 two of those guys are dead
now it's nice that they sent it out
pee-wee Herman sent me his Christmas
card very nice and let's see one of
these cards is from Hugh Hefner
either way it's the holiday spirit a lot
of time to kill someone got me this book
Sudoku gave it to me and I guess this is
pretty popular right now
I didn't I tried one I got mad and I
threw it and I had to go and apologize
to the person I hit I got cool stuff
back here I don't know if you can see
just stuff from my career and neat stuff
this is a picture of me with Johnny
Carson I just crashed a bar mitzvah he
was attending my cell from The Simpsons
and found that I interviewed Bart this
is one of my best reviews that I ever
got was in a apparently a Korean TV
critic just went crazy funny but super
fantastic this is all the different
stuff I have different memorabilia here
from my years on the air as a
Conan action figure right here that the
GI Joe people made for little kids that
want to play pretend pale talk show host
that here's my Abraham Lincoln doll
right here if you pull a string he gets
depressed and hates his crazy wife shut
up I'll do as I please well off to the
theater I mean that was I think I spent
like six days of the strike playing with
those guys boom here sometimes I pretend
to be a guy in the 1930s
hey Dad gets over here this payment five
high fives babe in five five five mr.
Makris bonds on fire let's get over
there yeah
this is why I think my favorite picture
this is a picture of me rocking out with
none other than Bruce Springsteen on the
show this is great here we're playing
walking on sunshine by Katrina in the
waves Bruce I guess just loves that song
consistent fan sent this to me this is
my head carved out of coral I think
endangered coral and sadly this is
actually what my face looked like in
high school I did the strike happened
was I bought this amp and it goes right
over your shoulder right here like this
and strapped this mama on right here and
they just walk around in annoy people
with my guitar playing which is kind of
fun
[Music]
[Applause]
[Music]
uh-huh she's trying to book Kate Hudson
did that go well we're not gonna do the
show yes I do
really yeah just announce the day then
I'll say it now I'm on this thing okay
that is not happening what few people
stayed behind during the strike what
kept them busy was this game and when
similarly with rock band actually uh the
most annoying thing I do is I play my
guitar along with
you

[Applause]
[Music]
[Applause]
[Music]

I do it as Edith bunker

like here at late-night during the
writers strike I think you get the
overall tone getting kind of late
and I'm gonna turn in this is also where
I'm sleeping these days wife and I going
through a bit of a rough patch at the
moment don't worry about it pleasant
dreams and see
[Music]
