(crowd applause) Mad music Max, thank you.
Do you wake up to that music every day every?
Every morning. Gets me going, yeah.
If I were you, I would program that into my snooze alarm.
(laughter)
It's very nice to see you. You look great.
Thanks. You look terrific.
Conan, I had more fun here last time because,
as I recall -
There was alcohol in the green room.
(crowd laughing)
No, we all sat around the campfire.
Yes. A toast cigar weenies.
That - And you were -
That was actually the time before last. Yeah.
Okay. And you were playing the guitar.
Which - Yes
I thought was memorable. And we were all singing
Roy Acuff, stuff or something.
Yeah, that's when we experimented more on the show.
Now, we've learned not to make people hate us.
Just stick to the basics
Just for land and the prairie, yes.
That's right. Okay.
Now, one of the reasons that I wanted to talk to you.
Yes. This time.
(laughter)
What was that all about?
Anthony did you just press an electric button in the seat?
You really want to talk to me?
No, I want you here because this movie just came out.
This thing that people claim is a Batman movie.
Are you all right, what's wrong?
I'm sorry. I just wanted to cheat
and look at your notes. Okay.
What are you talking about?
The notes.
It just says ask him about the Batman movie.
The new Batman movie
Well I wanted to take away because, I'm not judgemental.
You're not judgemental.
Oh, you don't want to talk about this?
I don't want to talk about -
People want you to talk about this.
You do? Yes, they do.
(crowd applause)
No, I want - What do I know about Batman?
No, I want to ask you about this.
They come out with this new movie. George Clooney is in it.
They got Chris O'Donnell as Robin.
Batman and Robin. Remember you Batman and Robin.
That should have been you and me. I know this.
(laughter)
Yeah. Boy people would be lining up
around the block to see that.
The saddest Batman movie ever made.
No.
No, but I'm curious about this.
I mean, don't you think that they could incorporate you,
into these Batman movies in some way?
I know you've said before that you could be uncle Batman.
Yes. That's all I want.
You could be the elder statesman, Batman.
Yes. You see what I'm saying?
You could be the Batman who retired,
but still comes by occasionally,
and gives George Clooney advice.
And says, "In the 60s, we did it differently, old friend."
Yes I like that idea. Right.
I think we could freshen the whole franchise.
Yeah, exactly. Yes.
Because if you ask me, these movies,
they've got all the stunts,
they've got all the special effects,
but they're lacking a little oomph, don't you think?
Well, I think we could be humanized a bit more.
A little warmer and wittier.
And I think Uncle Batman's a pretty good idea.
Yeah, Uncle Batman. Things as -
I think people by the idea of Uncle Batman.
(crowd applause)
Uncle Batman, popping on a pipe.
Well, things could be so desperate,
and gotten absurd, yeah.
Puffing on your bat pipe, (laughing) coming by.
What was that? I don't know.
The bat pipe was moving, yeah.
You just had a flashback, didn't you?
Yes I did.
Look, smoke. There's a bat, it is smoke.
It was a crazy time in the 60s for you, wasn't it?
Do you do that often during conversation,
you're talking to someone you just go, like that?
Please, Adam, over here.
No. No, you don't.
I'll leave you. I'll be fine.
Yeah, I'm sure. I'll leave with you Conan.
Have you noticed? This is something,
that I've noticed in these -
Where, what? Oh, I'm over here, Adam.
I didn't notice. Adam, it's okay.
Adam, 1997 right here Conan O'Brien, all right.
Right here lock eyes with me baby.
I've noticed that in these new Batman movies,
they're making.
Have you seen it, they put all these sexual stuff,
into these Batman movies?
For example, the suits that George Clooney,
and Chris O'Donnell have -
You're talking about lumps?
No, they put nipples on them,
and they wear big coat.
There are nipples on their suits now.
What was that?
Was a long nipple.
(crowd laughing) I was -
(crowd laughing)
I thought it was a short something,
because I didn't know what's going on.
(crowd laughing)
I didn't know you were referring to that.
(crowd applauds)
Don't bring up long nipple on.
My point is this is. Do you find that disturbing at all?
I mean, I find that a disturbing part of these movies,
is that you think they're essentially for kids,
and you go there - Well, I don't find it
sexually disturbing. And batman,
rubbing his nipples in his suit.
No, it doesn't turn me on. Is that what you're saying?
No, I didn't ask if it's -
Sexually disturbing, no.
Work eyes.
(Laughter)
Yes, I do a little bit, because -
You think it's a little odd.
I mean, you didn't do that in your series.
No, we didn't need to Conan.
It was all natural just a bat tall, of course.
But it was.
(crowd laughing)
What you saw was what -
You're gonna still regret that you hadn't.
On your show too,
one of the things was nice to see,
is that you guys did things lower tech,
and these shows, in these movies now,
they have all kinds of devices,
and everything to get up a side a building.
You guys threw a rope up there,
and then walked up the side of the building,
and that was just so much more enjoyable.
Don't you think, than all this high tech stuff?
Yes, we had a more leisurely bat climb.
(Conan laughing)
We took time to say hello to people on the way up.
Good morning citizens.
Your Batman had a lot of time to kill.
That's right.
I was curious.
I don't think, I haven't seen you asked about this.
But in Pulp Fiction,
quite a famous scene,
John Travolta, and Huma Thurman -
Oh, yeah. Are dancing.
And John Travolta, starts to do, The Batusi.
And I was thinking this is a movie,
that ended up garnering some Oscars.
Did you in any way feel,
you should get some credit for the movie?
I mean, that was a big scene
when John Travolta, was doing that.
Yes, but I didn't really want to step in,
and assume much credit.
I was going to take the Oscar,
I had arranged to steal the Oscar.
Yeah.
The statuette if
he had indeed gotten it, because -
You're gonna climb up the side of the venue.
Absolutely.
And steal it. Enter his room,
and take his Oscar,
because everything I've ever done he was taking.
Actors borrow they don't take, yeah.
Can you do a little Batusi for us right now,
if we supplied The Batusi music.
At the moment. (crowd applause)
Just a little. Play some music, Max.
(Batusi music playing) (crowd applause)
It gets a little wild, Conan.
I love how you just go into that.
You're at the right club.
You do that wherever you are, if the music kicks in.
Oh, no I don't.
You've been arrested so many times probably.
You're in a gap somewhere when you hear music like that,
you start with wigging out.
Oh, Adam, very nice job though.
I know you're in town,
and you're with the Batmobile.
Is that correct? No.
You're promoting something with the Batmobile?
No, I'm promoting.
Well actually, I'm not promoting.
I'm going to a guitar show on Saturday.
And because of your interest in guitars,
I thought you might enjoy coming down.
Yeah. It's in King of Prussia.
And they have the world's biggest collection
of fancy and fine guitars.
Excellent. As a matter of fact,
there's an armored truck on the way here tonight,
with a million dollar guitar.
I hope they arrive on time, because I was -
Because the Riddler might take it.
Yeah.
(Adam, Conan and crowd laughing)
I see where you are going with this.
I was going to ask you -
What world are you living in man?
I was gonna ask you to play this guitar.
No, I'm curious about the Batmobile though.
First of all the Batmobile that was in the series.
We have an ad of this thing. Liz, you want to put that up?
There it is. This is the coolest Batmobile,
first of all, and there you are.
(crowd applause) Taking it down in high gear.
Get a round of applause. Now, Adam -
We had the first car phone.
Yeah, the Batmobile. Yes.
That was the first one. Sure.
So I could talk to my agent.
Yeah. No,
it was the first car phone that red phone in the car.
Now, I'm curious did the Batmobile, is it okay, now,
it's been around a lot of years.
I know you still make appearances with the Batmobile.
Is it is it losing transmission fluid, is the thing okay.
Is it rusting, is it a good car?
It's a fairly good car,
but occasionally we have to push it in.
(Conan laughing)
Just the site of you pushing in.
Which doesn't look too good during a show like this.
No, not at all. Is it a fun car to drive, the Batmobile?
Not really.
Seriously, it's not?
No it's not.
It's very difficult to drive,
because the cockpits small and I have bruises still.
But every Batman -
You used to have trouble,
when you were shooting the series,
you'd have to jump into car.
Jumping into the car looked dynamic,
and it bruised your legs a lot.
Right. And that's not good when Batman gets out,
and he's hobbling.
Of course, not. And rubbing his shins.
That's right.
And putting a little serve on his knee.
That's not good.
Do you like that when I said serve?
Where are you?
Oh, yeah, I'm the weird one. Great, fine. Yeah.
You're wigging out left and right.
And you're savvy.
And I'm on the creep. Okay.
Anyway, so the Batmobile was okay.
But it was hard to drive, because the brakes didn't work.
And the suspension.
This is for real.
That's why we had seven of them.
You had several built?
Yeah, we have seven Batmobiles.
We had backups in case I ran it through
the side of the cave wall.
Right. Which happened occasionally.
Right. But the bat cycle,
was interesting.
The bat cycle. Yes.
We had that side car where Robin rode.
Yeah.
You'd like to Sandy.
(laughter)
He was always - You want him,
to get in the little side car?
Yes.
I would love to get in your side car,
as long as you drive.
Oh, but I don't know with me,
because I had a button I'd press,
and the sidecar would head toward,
what we thought was its target.
But it usually didn't go there.
So the sidecar would careen off,
and go in different directions,
sometimes towards the camera,
and toward a river or whatever.
And Burt was always little white knuckled about that.
Right. Burt Ward was always ending up in
a dumpster or something.
(laughter)
Why did I laugh at that?
(laughter)
Never laugh at anything about my Robin.
That's absolutely escaped my mind.
No, not at all.
Well, I want to mention this last thing before we go.
You've come out with a CD bat mania songs inspired
by the Batman TV series.
And includes a personal song from Adam West.
This is called Miranda.
I have three cuts on there.
We're just gonna play one.
Oh, really? Yeah.
Is it not time for the whole thing.
No, this show is not TV jukebox my friend.
And now. So disappointed.
Yeah, but I thought on the way out,
maybe we'd listen to the song on the way out.
It's called Miranda, is there anything
we need to know about it before we play it.
Well, I don't know. The way out of what?
Of your segment. it has to end at some point.
Oh, it's ending.
Yeah. We must fly now.
Okay. Of course please, be my guest.
(crowd applause)
All right. Well, let me mention these things.
The Batmobile, and Adam West,
and Chinery's guitar collection, are gonna be
at the great American guitar show this Saturday,
at the King of Prussia, Pennsylvania.
Did you see the penguin?
What? Behind you.
Okay, that's scary. Yes.
That's actually frightening me right now.
You see the penguin wherever you go.
No, other guys too.
Okay, it's time for your shot.
Ladies and gentlemen.
We're in commercial right now.
Adam, thanks for coming by.
Very nice to see you again.
Thank you Conan, it was a lot of fun.
