i'm sitting here with uh
sarah jessica parker and i lucky and
we have got to talk about uh this show
sex and the city
yes we have to yeah well no i mean i
want to hear about this it has sex in
the title so
tell me all about it
sorry i'll behave what i thought you'd
be just interested in the city part
yeah i love stuff about urban
development
let's hear all about it and boring sex
fast forward
uh what's the show about what happens in
the show um
right it's about uh you don't have to
plug your you know i want to i'm really
proud of the show and it's one of the
easier jobs to have to
go and promote it actually to be honest
so i will tell you a little bit about
the show
okay um it's about a a woman who lives
in new york city she is a con
a columnist um she actually refers to
herself as a
a sexual anthropologist which basically
means that she writes articles
about relationships and sex
including her own she writes about her
own sex life
her escapades and sex copay
[Laughter]
i should be beaten yeah um yeah i'm a
single person now uh someone was telling
me that they were watching uh
they were watching this program and that
there's a scene where you you have to
pronounce a very difficult
name of a condom that's right and you
had trouble with this more freebies
about to come up
[Laughter]
[Applause]
okay see if you can say this quickly
okay
ultra texture trojans with a reservoir
tip ultra textured trojans with a
reservoir tip right now the question is
where is the emphasis
um for a guy i think it's that they're
ultra
because a guy wants to do anything he
can to get the word ultra
when he's talking about the nether
region i had to say it a lot of times
because my
my character in the very first episode
is has just slept with this fellow
and she's trying to you could grow up in
the 20s
and she's trying to approach her her
sexual life in a new way so she's going
to
have this sexual encounter with this
fellow and she's going to leave and not
feel anything and she leaves and she's
like i felt great and strong and
powerful and she bumps into this
other fella who becomes an interest for
her throughout the course of the series
named
mr big that's his name and um
is that his nickname or his real name no
that's his name okay
anyway played by chris knows do you know
him yeah cool guy i've run into him a
few times yes
well um he's mr big and um okay he's mr
pig
i don't want to hear about this anymore
maybe i must have big too
he knocks my purse you i rump into him
and i bump into somebody and my purse
flies out with all these ultra textured
trojans with the reservoir tip
or reservoir tip or ultra texture
trojans i mean i don't know so i had to
say this
quite a bit do you think i'm gonna get a
box of them in the mail you're gonna get
so many trojans now it's gonna be funny
now uh they're they're advertising this
thing i've seen the advertisements for
it
they have you on new york city buses
stretched out
all along the side of the bus it's the
pinnacle of my career
how does that feel when you're i mean
this show has never been promoted so
i don't know what that's like but oh no
it's not no that's where i'm so late and
uh they have other things to promote
whatever whatever huh i gotta talk about
them new funny sitcoms but anyway uh
bitterness leaking on 18 yeah right it's
all so good
um each show funnier than the previous
okay this is our last show folks
it's new to you we're somewhere right
now in burbanks an executive is watching
in a dark room
he's grown insolent
they just press a button and he has a
white persian cat in his lap

grown cocky
they press a button and someone walks in
with coffee
uh back to hbo oh yeah

how this show isn't promoted enough
no uh and so anyway go ahead they've put
you on buses that's crazy
they have well um hbo really puts their
money where their mouth is conan i don't
know what to say to you except
i didn't really even understand that
myself um you were taunting me that you
have a lot more promotion than i do
yeah it's just a little odd you know as
a new yorker
you you know i was actually waiting for
the m2 yesterday on fifth avenue which
is a great line by the way
we should tell people who don't live
here that's the subway fifth avenue line

know you don't want to know
um anyway so yeah it's weird you see
you're you know you see
your entire body but that's a good thing
it's really exciting they're out there
they're talking about the show um
it's sex and the city isn't it yeah we
gotta we gotta run we went oh so over
time
