Please welcome Jose Andres!
Jose, good to see you.
(audience applause) Thank you! Thank you, Conan.
How are you, old friend?
I'm doing great!
You got a lot of energy, I like you. You're good.
I'm gonna make a cocktail for you!
A what?
A cocktail. A cocktail? Yes, okay.
Is there a problem them with my accent, or what?
No no, it sounded strange, but a cocktail.
We're going to make a cocktail,
and tell us what kind of cocktail we're going to make.
Black and Decker coconut cocktail.
(drill revs)
Another corporate plug tonight. Alright.
Another one? Okay!
(stammers)
What kind of cocktail is this? Why would we need this?
I have no idea. Okay...
You are in a beautiful beach in the Caribbean.
No, I'm not. I'm in a studio...
You are! You have to IMAGINE, Conan!
Okay, I'm imagining I'm in a beautiful beach.
And you have a coconut right on the beach!
Yes.
And you don't know what to do with it.
Right. Okay, you...
You bring with you your Black and Decker.
Wait a minute... ON THE BEACH!
I'm on a beautiful beach, and I'm standing there,
and I've got a Black-
A Black and Decker!
Okay, stop- don't-
WHY ARE YOU SHOUTING ME?
You're too excited. Okay.
Okay, and then, you know that they have, like,
two eyes and a mouth?
That's why you think the coconuts always to speak to you?
Oh yes, yes. I mean, everyone knows.
Yes, of course. They look like people.
Yes, of course they do.
And when they come down from the trees
because they feel alone...
and they want to talk to people!
And you think the coconuts are going to talk to you?
I think so. Okay.
(audience laughs)
And now you open their mouth!
Okay- okay, what are you going to do?
Look at it.
You put it right there in the mouth...
(drilling)
Oh yeah!
Okay.
Then we open the hole!
Okay, good.
Careful with your hand!
Wait, wha- Okay, I'm good. I got it, I got that, yeah.
Wow. Okay, and now, you're going to take
the coconut water out.
Alright. Some of the water.
I think it'll come out faster if I make two holes.
Actually, that lets air in,
so that the liquid can come out. Right, everybody?
(audience cheers)
Oh man, you're good.
You've done that before!
Don't you want to do one, do more...
No, but now they're not going to talk to you!
You, you made that hole in the eye!
Ah, I cut my finger!
It's only on the mouth!
Okay, I don't know what you're talking about.
Alright, so... This show is so broken.
Alright, so where do I pour this?
I pour out a little extra?
Yeah, put it there, leave it.
Now we're gonna make the cocktail.
You've already lost interest in your gin...
A little of this!
What's that? Some rum!
Ooh, rum! Okay.
You like rum? Yeah,
I wanna take it some more.
Yeah, you do it. Alright.
Some... what is this? Bitters!
What's that? Bitters? Bitters, bitters.
What are, I don't even know what bitters are.
Me no either. Uh, yeah, bitters.
"Me no either"!
Syrup, you do it.
Do the syrup.
Okay...
(high-pitched singing)
Like that, like that?
Man, you're good. Okay.
And now you're going to shake it.
Can we get music here?
Yeah, yeah. Don't care.
Shake- No, we can't afford that.
Shake harder!
Oh, we forgot, we forgot!
What? We forgot. Quick, open it!
The coconut water! Come on!
What, what-
You're the one that supposed to be telling me what to do!
I KNOW, but I don't have the recipe in front of me!
Here, again. Shake it. Shake it!
Shake!
Okay, no more shaking. Too much.
Too much?
You just told me do more shaking,
now you're like, "OH, TOO MUCH!"
Take a look at what's happening to your hair,
it's shaking too much!
Okay, alright. Alright.
Now, we're going to strain it into this glass.
Okay. Quick!
It's showing demand!
[Conan] No, that's okay... [Jose] Like this!
You mean right there? Alright.
Beautiful. Okay.
And now is the-
Oh, I forgot the rum.
What? Here...
Man...
No, we poured a lot of rum in there!
No, but you didn't put rum in mine!
Oh, okay.
Come on, cover my back, Conan.
Okay. So, grab this,
this syringe.
Why do we have a syringe?
(audience laughs)
Because it's cool!
You can't put the beach with a Black and Decker
and the syringe.
Yeah, that's going to look real natural,
walking on the beach with the syringe.
(high-pitched) I'M READY!
Okay then- You take...
What's that?
Some of this amazing cocktail into the syringe.
Okay...
And this is very normal.
You can do two things.
Nothing came in, this is not good.
Okay, can you do it again?
Yeah. I can do it again.
(grunting)
What? It's not going in. I don't know what the problem is.
Yeah, because you didn't take away the condom...
the thing! The cover!
(audience laughs and applauds)
Come on, man! Do it!
Are you with me?
Yeah, I'm with you.
[Jose] Yeah, right. [Conan] I got it.
And then, look at how beautiful!
Oh my God. He's like a baby!
Just like a... a baby bottle!
You're such a weirdo!
(audience laughs)
You fill up the coconut with your cocktail!
Okay, so I, I-
Okay, this is- oh! This feels so weird.
SLEEP!
Open, open your mouth.
Open, open. You can do this too.
Oh man, it's good.
That is pure rum. Yeah!
That is pure rum.
And then that's it. You put the straw...
I'm gonna put more in, okay?
Okay, go. Yeah, yeah, you're doing good.
Yeah, okay, okay.
There we go.
Then what? The straw.
Start right here?
Oh my God! (audience cheers)
That's good! We have more.
We can do ladies?
Here! Here!
More coconuts!
Your drink right there...
We have to move! We have one more thing!
We gotta move, I got another thing to do!
What are we going to do? How much time we have?
WAH! We've got no time!
Here, take a look at this.
Oh yeah, what is that?
Happy Buddha.
Happy Buddha, okay.
So, I need a dessert.
We've got to do this fast.
Happy Buddha taking a bath!
Happy Buddha taking a bath.
That's what we're gonna make.
Take a look at this.
Here is the heads of the Buddha.
Okay. Try to take one head out.
Okay... And these are
the feet and hands of the Buddha.
Oh, these are molds,
and this is the gelatin that's coming out of them.
Look at it! Oh, the feet!
Look at how beautiful! Okay, alright.
Okay, put the head on the plate.
This is the head. Yeah!
That's the head of a Buddha right there.
Give me head! Yes, give me the head!
Look at that Buddha... I know!
Give me the head!
Yeah, look at that head! Get in there!
That's the head of a Buddha. Okay, put it there!
Alright, okay, that's the head of the Buddha,
right there, and these are the feet...
And here we have the belly.
Okay, and here is his pancreas. Right here.
And here we have the air of leeches!
Okay.
And then we're gonna cover the leechi around the Buddha,
and don't tell me that this doesn't look
like Buddha taking a bath.
(audience laughs)
Wait, that's Buddha taking a bath?
Yeah.
You know? Put it there, put it there. Blend it!
What is this? Blend- oh, we're going to blend it.
Yep, and you blend it-
We're doing everything in the wrong order!
I know, but I wanted to make sure we finish it on time!
That's how you make the, the foam! The air!
Okay, so this is, we do this beforehand?
That's it, no more.
This is the craziest cooking segment we've ever done.
Well, I mean, your people told me,
"Make something fun for Conan."
This is great!
Yeah, hey, no problem.
Can we get the rum over here for a little bit?
Yeah, yeah. Here.
The Buddha might start to make sense if I've got the rums.
Oh!
Oh, this is what it looks like!
Let's get a nice shot of that.
There's Buddha.
[Jose] Buddha taking a bath!
(audience cheers)
That one's just more beautiful.
Yeah.
Oh yeah! This one-
This one looks like Buddha at a crime scene.
(audience laughs)
[Jose] But he's so happy!
Bring him back to life.
[Jose] It's so cool. [Conan] That is fantastic,
that is very good.
It's strawberry.
Yeah, do you wanna try this? This is really good.
Hey, you hungry?
Uh, sure. Yeah, I'll eat-
I'll eat some Buddha.
Yeah.
I'm looking, how cute is the head?
What's that?
The head, he's so cute.
I mean, he says smiling,
"I'm with dudes like you!" But in, in Buddha.
Hey, do you have a place to sleep tonight, by any chance?
Can I stay?
Yeah, you can stay. Stay here.
Stay with the ladies?
I can cook!
