First of all, congratulations on the Emmy win last night.
Best Drama Series.
(audience cheering) (audience applauding)
We're so proud of that, because it means
that every single person who works on the show,
both in Albuquerque and here in Los Angeles
and the folks in New York, the studio, the network,
everybody has a piece of that victory
and that's what we're really happy about.
Also, it was clear to me when I went backstage to say hi,
that you guys have been partying hard.
(audience laughing)
For 24 hours. We haven't stopped.
He just got in. Yeah, yeah.
He just now rolled in from all the parties.
Right, he has no idea who I am right now.
(all laughing)
Yo, bitch.
Yo, bitch!
(audience applauding)
Aaron, we have so much ground to cover,
so much to talk about, Aaron.
What I love is that idiots like me
and everyone in the press has been asking you guys
for months, what's gonna happen, what's gonna happen,
what's gonna happen, your stock answer is, "Everyone dies."
That's what you've been saying, explain that answer.
Yeah, well, because just, just tell me how it ends,
just who dies?
Does Walt die, does Jesse die, do they kill each?
And then finally just say like, listen,
everyone, just everyone dies.
This is an easy, easy way out.
And does that bother people, when you tell them that?
Yes.
(audience laughing)
The only one- It is true though.
Yeah. Yeah.
It's true for every occasion.
Yeah. Yeah.
The only one who stays alive is Holly.
So we have a sequel, you know, Holly White,
the story continues.
She has a little gun.
Baby Heisenberg.
Ah, Baby Heisenberg, ah.
Now, Bryan, one of the revelations of this show
for you as an actor is that you're such a nice guy,
you're such a sweet presence, you're so amiable.
But man, you have a scary face,
when you wanna have a scary,
when you wanna have a scary face,
I don't know how you do it.
Well, (laughs) it's funny you should mention that,
because I always thought that even no emotion whatsoever,
I have a scary face period.
So if, for instance, okay, if I'm looking at this camera,
no emotion whatsoever, the thing that you read is fear.
(audience laughing)
(audience applauding)
That's fantastic.
It's terrifying. Yeah.
Does that work for everybody?
Well, what is the one word, that you sense,
when you look in no emotion whatsoever, completely devoid?
(audience laughing)
I sense a bit of sadness.
It feels like I'm not getting enough oxygen.
(Conan laughing)
It's like you wet yourself. Yeah.
(all laughing)
Let's see Andy. Andy, let's see yours.
Who am I looking at, who am I looking at?
Well, the one with the red light.
No emotion at all, none whatsoever.
(audience laughing)
You look angry, he looks like an angry principal.
You're Goddamn right I am.
(audience laughing)
Now Aaron.
Where am I looking? Okay.
Where are you?
Oh.
Nothing, no emotion whatsoever.
(audience laughing)
You're emoting something. I'm not trying.
Don't do anything.
Stop, wipe it all away.
(Conan laughing)
(audience laughing)
Oh, that's sweet, look at that.
(audience applauding)
I got a guy, I was getting a guy thinking about lunch,
that's what I was getting.
Your fans are absolutely incredible, they are so loyal.
Bryan, you say that you got one fan letter,
that really stood out,
I brought- of all the fan letters.
We were talking about that,
I said, I'm gonna bring this fan letter with me.
Can I read it to you? Yes, you may.
Alright, so this is an honest to goodness fan letter,
it came to me, it says, "Dear Bryan Cranston.
Let me preface this letter by saying
I have a master's degree in psychology
and I have never been diagnosed
with any psychotic disorder."
You know when a letter starts out with,
"I have never been diagnosed with any psychotic."
Right, no, yeah.
No one's caught me yet, so.
(audience laughing)
"I am writing to you, because I have been holed up
in my apartment for two days and nights
watching all seasons of your show.
I am in love with it all.
After I was done with all the episodes,
I watched some interviews and what this has all amounted to
is that right now, I am fantasizing about having sex
with Aaron Paul."
(audience laughing)
Yes!
"And, and for you to be there watching."
(audience laughing)
Swear to God.
It's true, yeah.
What are you doing in this scenario?
He says, "I am not sure what your role would be,
(audience laughing)
but I think I want you there."
Swear to God! Nice,
he's giving you some leeway.
Yeah. Yeah, yeah.
It's up to you, you'll figure it out.
Did you say he's giving me some leeway?
Yeah, yeah, is it a he or a she?
It was a she. Oh, I thought it was a he
the whole time. No, it's a she.
(audience applauding)
It is a she.
You picture the letter however you want,
I'll picture it how I want.
(audience laughing)
Well, the last thing she, she-he says is,
"Come on, it would be a good time."
Come on. Come on.
Let me have sex with Aaron and you watch, come on.
Trust me.
Now I have to bring this up.
There are so many finale theories.
There's actually a theory for the finale,
that Walt's in the Witness Protection Program,
he gets a new family and he changes his name to Hal
and it's the prequel to "Malcolm in the Middle."
That was, which I thought was ingenious.
That's ingenious. That's ingenious,
and then that whole series runs.
And that series runs, but it already ran,
so how do we?
Don't you understand, man, yeah,
time doesn't mean anything, man.
Speaking of the last episode, none of us,
we don't want to know anything,
but what I heard about two hours ago
was that the two of you read the last episode together.
Yes. Before you shot it,
you sat together and you read it, is that right?
Yes. Yeah.
There's a really wonderful documentary,
a two-hour documentary,
that's going to be in the final compilation of DVDs
and it's really in-depth
and we thought it would be a fun idea for Aaron and I
to read it cold out loud in this documentary.
So we read this without knowing what was going to happen
and then they intercut that earlier
with Vince Gilligan writing the last episode.
It's a great idea. It was a fun thing.
And that must've been very powerful,
when you got towards the end?
It was a very emotional experience, I think,
for us, for sure, I mean, when he said,
when he read out loud, "End of series,"
there was probably a good 10, 15 seconds.
We were just sitting quietly, like wow,
we're never going to read another first episode again,
it's over. Yeah.
Thanks for bringing that up, Conan.
(all laughing)
I can't think of a better time to go to commercial
on that, on that huge laugh, we'll be right back.
