thanks for being here nice to be on the
show i'm a very
very big fan kind of a geeky fan and uh
my dad was on the show
a couple years ago your dad quincy jones
legendary music producer quincy jones
okay
yeah um good man but when he was coming
on the show i was like oh
you just tell conan that i love him and
i sort of meant like
in the hallway maybe on the way to the
bathroom or something if you guys were
meeting
he literally sits down on the show and
the first thing out of his mouth is
my daughter thinks you're hot i'm
sitting at home
dying inside you were dying yeah i was
really i watched that tape every night
your daughter's hot your daughter's
um now i'm told that we met once before
uh my uh my producer today said you guys
have have met and i said i
i don't think we have because i would
remember if we met i think
yeah i you probably wouldn't have
remembered this and i'm actually glad
you didn't remember this but i'm gonna
bring it up now on national television
um i was in lincoln center with a friend
and i had a drink
just one and um the fact that you're
stressing that
means something's happening yeah um and
there was no cavs to be found and you
were standing there waiting for a cab
we found a cab and i freaked out and i
saw you know i was like come on
up right here talk my friend get out of
the cab get out of the cab give a cone
in our cab give him
you're like no no that's fine that's
fine you were very gentleman like my
friend was like we're not getting out of
the cab for him
that guy i remember because i pulled him
out of the cab with one hand and punched
him into the sky remember that very
heroic yeah and then my clothes ripped
off because i flexed remember that
i don't know maybe i made up that last
part
we have something in common we both come
from uh pretty big families
yeah uh i'm i'm one of six kids how many
kids are i'm one of seven
one of seven i beat you by one you win
again uh where are you in the order
i'm six of seven um we range uh we have
a there's a 40-year range
and it's mainly girls and one boy in the
middle oh my god a 40-year range
that's incredible all right my dad likes
to have babies
[Laughter]
now you've embarrassed him on television
sorry dad uh now you oh all of you
have uh do you all have sort of unusual
names because i
i was my brothers and sisters have more
you know sort of
normal names they just have a sort of a
normal names and then they were like
they got to me and they were like conan
we don't know why we kind of we have a
similar thing where
there's a progression from european to
like
more african throughout the years like
my oldest sister's name is jolie which
is
very french in europe and then it goes
online martina
and my brother's named after my dad and
rachel and then my sister's name is
kirara which is
swahili right and my name is rashida
which is north african arabic my little
sister's name is kenya
so we always have a joke that if my dad
has another kid they're probably
just going to be like
deeply deeply ethnic
i almost went with that with my son have
you met my new brother the continent of
africa yeah
now you're i'm gonna ask you about your
dad for a second he must know
everybody in the world do you know what
i mean yeah i mean he's
he's not a lot of famous people out
there your dad is
internationally revered and respected so
is that ever strange that he has that
can when you talk to your dad you
realize the kind of
power he has over all these people i i
do and he's he's so
still so grateful and so joyful about
working
with people and meeting new people and
whatever and he's so busy all the time
and he's like
been to 50 million different parties and
countries and forums and he produces all
this stuff
and like you know big events or whatever
but he he often leaves me
messages on my machine and because he's
so busy and because he meets so many
people
and he goes to so many events he leaves
out really necessary details
about just sort of what he's up to yeah
so the message
will go something like and this is
actually how my dad talks
honey colin powell christina aguilera
kofi annan buzz aldrin oprah the cast to
stop holding hands
singing we are the world baby isn't that
hot
and then i kind of have to be like what
what do you mean was that a dream you
had or was that a dinner party
was that something you produced were all
those people in a cab together
what happened wow now where do you uh i
know you you
i've been to the set of the office you
guys shoot the show in los angeles where
do you
live right now well i i live in new york
officially but i'm out in la a lot but
i'm always so happy to come back to new
york it's a very unique city
um the other day actually i was in a cab
and i was with a friend
and we were heading uptown it was like a
beautiful new york night and
all the christmas lights were out and um
the
there was jazz on the on the radio in
the cab and um we stopped at a stoplight
and the cab driver
pulled out like a little mini mandolin
and just started like jamming on the
mandarin
like riffing yeah and of course
naturally i started scatting and my
friend pulled out the bongos and we're
going to tour in the spring
yeah yeah the problem is that he kept
driving
and you crash
