MuchOnDemand
The answer to "Total Request Live" in Canada, MOD is the nation's daily request show...with a twist! Hosted by Rick Campanelli and Amanda Walsh, MOD offers Canadians the best videos they want to see including the interactive Vote-O-Matic, wild audience stunts, as well as the biggest names in entertainment as guest hosts. Well, Conan does not necessarily qualify on this list (nyuk nyuk), but he did appear as a guest on Feb. 9. A transcript of the show is provided below.

START SHOW

INT. MUCHMUSIC ENVIRONMENT, CHUMCITY BUILDING

CAMPANELLI: Yes siree! You’re definitely watching MuchOnDemand. My name is Rick, and look at all the loud, beautiful people at MuchMusic headquarters today. This might be the biggest M.O.D. yet. Check it out: Conan O’Brien will be right here! Today in the next, well, five to ten minutes, he’s going to be hanging out with us and co-hosting the rest of the show with us. This is big. As you know, he’s doing his show in Toronto all week at the Elgin Theatre. This is going to be awesome. Let’s set up that first Canadian Vote-o-Matic. Three choices, log on to muchmusic.com. How excited are you guys? These are your options: you’ve got Nickelback on there, Fefe Dobson on there and Billy Talent. Three options for the Canadian Vote-o-Matic. Log on and vote for whoever you want. They’re yelling already outside. We may bring Conan out there in a little while. We have to get him in here first. We’re going to call up Kayla and Jen. Where are you guys from?

Rick takes a phone request from two female callers.

KAYLA & JEN: Pickering, Ontario.

CAMPANELLI: How excited are you guys?

Kayla & Jen simply respond with screams of excitement.

CAMPANELLI: What video would you like to see?

KAYLA & JEN: The Darkness, “I Believe In A Thing Called Love.”

CAMPANELLI: Why that one?

No response is heard from the two girls.

CAMPANELLI: Let’s do it for these two ladies before Conan gets here. The Darkness, right here on M.O.D. Check it out.

“I Believe In A Thing Called Love” by The Darkness is shown.

The Darkness right there on M.O.D. for Kaitlyn and Jen. If you guys have a request you want to make, call us at this toll-free number: 1-800-265-6824. Or if you have a question, use that same number. This girl to my right, she just apologized for screaming so loud, but it’s going to be happening for the whole hour. We’re going to set up today’s poll. Check it out at muchmusic.com. What was the most memorable moment from last night’s Grammys show? 50 Cent taking the stage with Amy Lee after he lost the best new artist award to Evanescence? Justin Timberlake’s perfectly polite apology for the boob incident, or Celine Dion’s microphone giving out just after she began to sing a tribute to her deceased father? Conan O’Brien up next here on M.O.D. Come on back!

Yes siree. You’re back with MuchOnDemand right here on MuchMusic. My name’s Rick. The people have come. They’re outside, they’re inside, they’re here for one man. His name is Conan O’Brien. Here he is now! Conan, come on down my friend!

O’BRIEN: How are you?

CAMPANELLI: Good too see you. Manny wants a hug. He wants a hug.

Conan goes over and hugs Manny, the cameraman.

O’BRIEN: I love you! I love you so much!

CAMPANELLI: Everybody, there he is right there!

O’BRIEN: Thank you!

CAMPANELLI: They’re all outside there as well for you.

O’BRIEN: Ah! Yeah! Yeah! Yeah!

CAMPANELLI: Are you okay?

O’BRIEN: My heart.

CAMPANELLI: Your heart’s pumping there?

O’BRIEN: Yeah, it gets hurt. Yeah, that’s nice. Thank you.

CAMPANELLI: You’re –

O’BRIEN: I’m sorry, but best hug is this guy right here. I’m telling you, because it’s nice. Hi ladies, how are you? Grrowl!

CAMPANELLI: What was so nice about that hug right there?

O’BRIEN: How are you? Nice to see you. Hey, how are you? All right, everybody. That was fun, I’ll see you later. That’s pretty much it.

CAMPANELLI: You’re a lot taller in person.

O’BRIEN: I’m much taller in person.

CAMPANELLI: I thought you were a lot shorter.

Conan calls for a boom camera to be brought in, to accommodate Conan’s massive height advantage over Campanelli.

O’BRIEN: Let’s just bring that in right now. It will be fine. We’re having trouble framing up the shot.

CAMPANELLI: We’re on live television with Conan O’Brien here, Bruce.

The frame is properly shot, fitting both Conan and Campanelli onto the screen.

That’s much better.

O’BRIEN: The important thing is I think we have – I’m sorry. I didn’t realize.

Campanelli stands on a stool to heighten himself to Conan’s 6’5 stature.

CAMPANELLI: That might be more useful for me. I don’t know if it’s going to make you uncomfortable or not.

O’BRIEN: That’s nice. I like that, yeah. Thank you. And that guy made his own t-shirt. That’s –

CAMPANELLI: A lot of them made their own t-shirts just for you. Look there.

O’BRIEN: That’s nice.

CAMPANELLI: I can get off this thing if you want me to. I don’t have to –

O’BRIEN: I just want to say one thing to everybody who made your own t-shirt. I own that name. You’re all being sued. You just can’t use my name! That’s cheating at some sweet scratch.

CAMPANELLI: That’s what they’re doing. You’re making history here this week, first talk show host to bring –

O’BRIEN: Elgin Theatre. Beautiful, beautiful town. The people here have been fantastic.

CAMPANELLI: Why here?

O’BRIEN: Why here? Toronto’s the best. This is the best city in the world. Toronto! It’s the best!

CAMPANELLI: That works ever time.

O’BRIEN: Also, Buffalo said no. They didn’t want anything to do with me. Hey, how are you? Nice to see you.

CAMPANELLI: It’s such –

Conan points out a fan in a chicken suit.

O’BRIEN: Hey, look, that chicken follows me everywhere, by the way.

CAMPANELLI: He goes –

O’BRIEN: I’ve got my eye on you, chicken. That chicken has followed me all across the country. Wherever I go, that chicken.

CAMPANELLI: This country?

O’BRIEN: Yes, everywhere. Canada, United States, everywhere. The chicken’s always with me. We have an amazing show. How does this show work? We come out, everyone screams. Okay, now listen.

CAMPANELLI: Bruce, bring out the crate.

Bruce the cameraman brings out a crate for Rick to stand on.

O’BRIEN: Please, I’m impotent now. We’ve got to keep that down. Sorry, that was more than he needed to know…Hey!

CAMPANELLI: This is a pretty big week in the States, though, to be airing a show. It’s sweeps week in the States.

O’BRIEN: And they said what sweep stunt do you want to do? And I’m sick of every show that always goes in the winter to Miami or Hawaii. Like Regis is always there saying I’m in Hawaii in the rain. I thought, “that’s been done!” It’s been done, dude. So they said, “where do you want to go?” And I said, “we’re going to Toronto in February, because no one’s ever done that before!”

CAMPANELLI: Nice.

O’BRIEN: And have a good time!

CAMPANELLI: Thank you very much.

O’BRIEN: And never –

Conan high fives Campanelli.

Wait a minute. I never – I never high-fived anybody before until just now. That was my first high five. I always refuse. I refuse to do it because I think it looks weird and I never did it until now.

CAMPANELLI: Sorry…I’m sorry.

O’BRIEN: That’s alright.

CAMPANELLI: I saw you holding off on it.

O’BRIEN: And you thought a high five was coming and you put it out. If I left you hanging, you’d look like an ass so we did it and that’s what happened.

CAMPANELLI: Listen, on behalf of Canadians everywhere, thank you very much for coming out.

O’BRIEN: Glad to be here. We’re going to have great shows this week, amazing shows.

CAMPANELLI: Who’s on the show?

O’BRIEN: Who’s on the show? I’ll tell you! Here’s what’s on the show. We’re going to have Mike Myers on the show tomorrow. Michael J. Fox is going to be on the show. Adam Sandler is going to be on the show. Jim Carrey is going to be on the show. Barenaked Ladies are going to be on the show. Nickelback is going to be on the show. You don’t want to miss the show. We’ll see you, maybe.

CAMPANELLI: We’ve been in training for the past few days for your arrival here. They put me through the Conan O’Brien Boot Camp. Pay attention to the monitor right here. We’re going to check out boot camp with Rick and Amanda and Conan O’Brien. Check it out.

O’BRIEN: Alright.

The Conan O'Brien Boot Camp segment is shown.

?: Alright you two, Conan O’Brien is coming in and I want you to be ready or you’re both fired.

WALSH: This is no laughing matter.

CAMPANELLI: I’m not laughing.

WALSH: This face is your destiny, your destiny.

Conan & Amanda Walsh begin “Conan 101.”

A couple of things you’ve got to do.

CAMPANELLI: This is serious.

WALSH: Number one, shape up, alright? You’re getting flabby. Whose face is this?!

CAMPANELLI: Conan O’Brien!

WALSH: That’s right. Get up! Come on, Rick, this show’s big time, Rick. You’ve got to do this for Conan. You’ve got to do this for you. You’ve got to do this for M.O.D. Now get up those stairs! Come on, 5’6, Rick! That’s a whole foot! You know your stuff? Think fast! Two inches?

CAMPANELLI: Six-fix.

WALSH: Conan’s hair is like?

CAMPANELLI: Conan’s hair is like a big fluffy red wave?

WALSH: No, not a big fluffy red wave. Conan’s hair is like the luscious rain falling on the meadows of Ireland. You’re doing this for both of us. I believe you – look at me. Do you want to do this?

CAMPANELLI: Yes.

WALSH: Alright, shape up. Let’s go. Grow!

CAMPANELLI: Ow! My spine is burning!

WALSH: Come on, Frodo. You’ve got to leave the shadows sometime. Come on.

CAMPANELLI: Watch the hair! Conan’s got great hair. Let’s see. Augh!

WALSH: Finally.

CAMPANELLI: What are you still doing in my house?

WALSH: I made a copy of the key but that’s besides the point. Rick, tomorrow’s the big day. You’ve got to get a good night’s sleep. You’re doing this for both of us, alright? Believe in yourself. Here’s Alley. Hey, there’s the Booger Bear. Booger Bear, okay. Alright, extra cozy. You sleep good.

CAMPANELLI: Thanks, Amanda. On this side actually. Augh!

You’re definitely back with MuchOnDemand. Conan O’Brien to my right right here, and it’s like we had ‘N Sync or the Backstreet Boys in or something. You’re like a rock star.

O’BRIEN: It’s nice. Whoa, she’s got a loud one. This girl right here has the loudest scream. That’s the loudest scream I’ve ever heard in my life.

CAMPANELLI: Very high pitched. We won’t put a microphone near here.

O’BRIEN: I understand.

CAMPANELLI: Monologues quickly, yours. They’re very funny. What happens when you don’t get a response from one of your jokes?

O’BRIEN: When there’s no response at all, I get very sad and people seem to think that’s funny. They like that better when the joke works. They like it when it doesn’t work and I get really sad-looking and people really laugh at that. I don’t know. It started happening a couple of years ago.

CAMPANELLI: You never lose.

O’BRIEN: People seem to like the String Dance. I do that all the time.

CAMPANELLI: Yeah, I’ll hold that.

Campanelli takes Conan’s microphone, while he does the String Dance.

The String Dance.

O’BRIEN: They cut it. Thank you very much.

CAMPANELLI: They love the String Dance.

O’BRIEN: I’m glad she brought her fake scissors.

CAMPANELLI: We have highlights from –

O’BRIEN: I love highlights!

CAMPANELLI: From your 10th Anniversary show back in September.

O’BRIEN: Yeah. I’m 68 years old now, but it should be fun.

CAMPANELLI: Would you like to set up the clip?

O’BRIEN: I have no idea what’s on it, but here’s Conan!

A clip from the 10th Anniversary show is aired.

CAMPANELLI: Here we go. We’re getting closer and closer.

O’BRIEN: Here we go! Bugs getting on the windshield and my teeth.

CAMPANELLI: Oh my god! What the hell are you doing? See you!

O’BRIEN: Look out! Ah, man, that was close. Yeah, I’m actually really incredible. My skills are really amazing.

CAMPANELLI: Does anyone ever just wear it like this? Is this annoying you?

O’BRIEN: No. You butchered me! Yeah, you know, in rehearsal, it was funny cause we had this…They call me mad, they laughed at me.

CAMPANELLI: Highlights from the 10th Anniversary show of Late Night with Conan O’Brien. That Will Ferrell has one sexy behind.

O’BRIEN: He really does. Beautiful thighs. Very attractive.

CAMPANELLI: I’m not the only one asking you questions today. The audience members will be taking part as well. Danielle has a question.

O’BRIEN: Bring them on.

An audience member asks Conan a question.

DANIELLE: I was wondering what made you – or what inspired you to come up with the Masturbating Bear?

O’BRIEN: Well, I – we actually never intended to have that character. We just wanted a regular bear on the show, but he couldn’t control himself. And then originally, when the bear was on, the Masturbating Bear – sorry parents. Ha ha ha, don’t let Coney on if you don’t like dirty. But what I love is that he always had two guys in white coats who shocked him to try and make him stop.

CAMPANELLI: Right.

O’BRIEN: But eventually we got rid of them. I think there’s a chance, if he made it through customs, that the Masturbating Bear might be showing up. You can always hope.

CAMPANELLI: Another question that I’m sure they’re asking, how about Pimpbot; haven’t seen Pimpbot in a while.

O’BRIEN: I don’t know if Pimpbot’s making it up. It has been a long time. Yeah, Quake Man, yeah. Quake Man and Dancing Gorilla. Yeah, that was a mistake. They wrote an article up here in Toronto and this person was writing about the show and she mentioned a couple of things that were real, but I think she had never seen the show or she had some weird information because she said he’s also known for Quake Man the Dancing Gorillas. We were like, “what are you talking about?” So the other day on the show, we made up those characters and they sucked. They were really bad.

CAMPANELLI: They sucked, okay. So you won’t be bringing them back.

O’BRIEN: No, they won’t be back.

CAMPANELLI: We’re bringing Conan O’Brien back after this commercial break. More with Conan O’Brien here on M.O.D.

COMMERCIAL

A classic clip of Late Night featuring Conan being mauled by a dog in a pressure suit is shown.

CAMPANELLI: Yes, you’re back with MuchOnDemand. Look, this guy right here, Conan O’Brien to my right.

O’BRIEN: We’re back, and I’ve been challenged. Right now, some – there’s a gentleman here who thinks he can move his hair more than I can move my hair. Let’s find out right now. There he is. Nice. Time to take you downtown to Chinatown, chopper.

CAMPANELLI: Oh, nice. Oh. Uh-oh. Concentrate Conan! Eye of the tiger.

Conan and the fan have a “hair-move-off.”

Yes! Nicely done.

O’BRIEN: My favourite part, my favourite part of that whole thing was there’s a guy over here taking it really seriously, going “Go for it, Conan! You can do it!”

CAMPANELLI: Take him out.

O’BRIEN: You can do it. Take him out! What’s up?

CAMPANELLI: Another audience question from Melanie. She’s over here.

O’BRIEN: Hey, Melanie.

MELANIE: I know that you’re obviously a big-time serious dancer, and I was wondering if I could have the honour of dancing with you.

O’BRIEN: A dance with me? Yeah, sure. Have we got some music?

CAMPANELLI: We have Britney Spears’ “Toxic.”

O’BRIEN: Oh my god. Crank it! Let’s go.

CAMPANELLI: Here we go.

O’BRIEN: Crank it. Let me hear it, crank it right up!

CAMPANELLI: Crank it louder. There we go.

Conan and Melanie dance to Britney Spears.

Very nice. Very nice. Melanie! Whoo! Are you alright?

O’BRIEN: I’m fine. I’m fine now, yeah.

CAMPANELLI: Very nice.

O’BRIEN: Yeah.

CAMPANELLI: Was that the longest you’ve ever danced for?

O’BRIEN: That’s the longest I’ve ever done, I mean anything, if you know what I mean.

CAMPANELLI: Nice moves…very nice moves. You’ve been in Canada for a while now, doing some shtick for the shows and stuff. Hopefully you know your homework.

O’BRIEN: Oh yeah.

CAMPANELLI: It’s time for the Canadian Quiz. Here we go.

The Canadian national anthem plays in the background to begin the Canadian Quiz.

O’BRIEN: What the hell was that?

CAMPANELLI: That’s our national anthem.

O’BRIEN: I knew that. Okay.

CAMPANELLI: First one is multiple choice. Our national animal is the goose, the beaver or the Masturbating Bear?

O’BRIEN: I’m going to go with goose.

CAMPANELLI: Close, close.

O’BRIEN: You didn’t let me finish! It was the goose, replaced by the beaver later on.

CAMPANELLI: This – very nice. It gets harder.

O’BRIEN: It gets harder than that, huh?

CAMPANELLI: We’re talking Canadian currency now. How much money do you have if you had two loons, a moose, and a sailboat?

O’BRIEN: Not enough to have a good time in Montreal.

CAMPANELLI: That’s right. That would be $2.35.

O’BRIEN: Right, yeah.

CAMPANELLI: You’ll get to spend one of those.

O’BRIEN: Please hurry this along.

CAMPANELLI: Sing one line from any Nickelback song.

O’BRIEN: Come on!

My name is Nickelback yeah
I say hey, hey, ahhh


That’s how it goes.

CAMPANELLI: And they’ll probably do that one on the –

O’BRIEN: I need to have an operation to do that.

CAMPANELLI: A couple more to go. Fill in the blank: he shoots, he blanks.

O’BRIEN: Uh-oh, ha ha. Scores.

CAMPANELLI: Lastly, years ago on SCTV News, Earl Camembert had a co-host.

O’BRIEN: You have to give me multiple choice.

CAMPANELLI: Was it Floyd Roberts?

O’BRIEN: Right.

CAMPANELLI: Was it Johnny LaRue?

O’BRIEN: No.

CAMPANELLI: Or Count Floyd.

O’BRIEN: No, it was the first one.

CAMPANELLI: Floyd Roberts. Very good. You’re a big SCTV fan?

O’BRIEN: Oh, yeah. This quiz is depressing me for some reason. There will be no shows in Toronto now. Thank this guy right here.

The audience boos Campanelli.

CAMPANELLI: I didn’t mean it. Hey –

O’BRIEN: We had a nice vibe going, and then Mr. Test comes here. We must prepare. Conan must answer questions. Annual rainfall in Alberta: 44 centimetres, 32 millilitres.

CAMPANELLI: Alright, let’s lighten things up then. Any video that you’d like to see right now? It could be a Canadian video if you like.

O’BRIEN: Man, let’s show some Rush!

CAMPANELLI: “Closer To The Heart” for Conan. Check it out right here on M.O.D.

“Closer To The Heart” by Rush is shown.

Rush, Rush right there for Conan. “Closer To The Heart.” Why Rush? Why Rush?

O’BRIEN: I was – I chose Rush cause Geddy Lee. No one sings like that. Nobody sings like that.

Conan does his best Geddy Lee impersonation.

My name is Geddy Lee
And I am going to say
My name is Geddy Lee


Like who does that? Nobody does that. It’s madness.

CAMPANELLI: You did it earlier actually.

O’BRIEN: I did, yeah. He and I have a similar style, vocal style. Their hair is too long in that video. It’s dangerous. Somebody’s going to get hurt.

CAMPANELLI: E-mail question for you, my friend. Chris Clark. “How do you feel about the fact that your one week doing Late Night TV in Toronto has created more hype than the Mike Bullard Show in his entire seven-year career on Canadian television?” Did you get it?

O’BRIEN: I will not go negative. Actually, the other night I was here in my hotel and I was looking for porn, couldn’t find any, but then I tuned in Bullard and he’s got a funny show. I like that man. Give that man a chance, I say! Here’s to you, Bullard.

CAMPANELLI: Do you want to go outside and say hi?

O’BRIEN: Let’s go outside! Come on!

CAMPANELLI: These people have been here for hours. We’re going to come out here and say hi to all the people who came to see you. There’s Conan O’Brien. He’s going to sign some things. He’s going to take some pictures. We’re going to take a quick commercial break. You’re still with MuchOnDemand. More M.O.D. with Conan O’Brien after the break. Make sure you come on back and join us.

COMMERCIAL

A classic clip of Late Night featuring a drinking game with Conan and Andy Richter is shown.

CAMPANELLI: You’re back with M.O.D. My name is Rick, the crowd is here, Conan O’Brien to my right, and Conan…

O'BRIEN: Sorry about my body in that clip. I’m sorry.

CAMPANELLI: It was that hair though, the Incredible Hulk hair. It has to be that bad for that bit to work.

O'BRIEN: It was very good. Those are good times.

CAMPANELLI: They’re a little loud at times. I saw you plugging your ears. Sorry about that.

O'BRIEN: That’s okay.

CAMPANELLI: But you’re enjoying yourself here?

O'BRIEN: I can’t hear you anymore. I’m just nodding my head and smiling a lot like an idiot. What’s happening now? What’s going on next?

CAMPANELLI: We’re going to take a call from Rebecca. She’s out in Vancouver. Say hello.

REBECCA: Hi Conan.

O'BRIEN: Hi Rebecca.

REBECCA: Could you say hi to my brother J-Bone?

O'BRIEN: What’s his name?

REBECCA: J-Bone.

O'BRIEN: Oh, come on! That’s disgusting! Hey, J-Bone. How’s it going?

J-BONE: Thanks a lot, man. I’ve been watching you since I was ten.

O'BRIEN: Oh, man. That just sounds bad. What’s going on with J-Bone?

REBECCA: Oh, you know.

O'BRIEN: So what else? Is that your question?

REBECCA: No, no. My question is, I want to know who your worst guest of all time is.

O'BRIEN: Oh man! Don’t get me started! No, you can’t – no, Al Roker was pretty good because he brings the energy. Regis makes me mad because, after all these years he still calls me “Cone-ann!” I’m like, “What, Regis?” And we have a big fight. Who can say? There are so many bad celebrities, so many bad celebrities. Why just name one? It would be unfair.

CAMPANELLI: What do you do when that celebrity is so bad, so much of a dud that –

O'BRIEN: I do this…

Conan begins to laugh uncontrollably.

I don’t know how you do it. “We’ll be right back.” And it works every time. We go to commercial.

CAMPANELLI: Rebecca, did you have another question to follow up?

REBECCA: I wanted to know what happened with Andy Richter and if he’ll ever come back to be your co-host?

O'BRIEN: He left to do other TV projects and he had a really funny show, I thought, on FOX. But they didn’t pick it up and he’s working on other stuff now and he’s living out in L.A. And I’m going out for his 10th wedding anniversary in just like a couple of weeks. He and I are going to party. We’re going to a strip club, and then, you know, you’d never know. I’d love to work with Andy again. He’s just one of the funniest people alive and one of my favourite people and so, you know, we’ll see what happens. I hope we get to work together again.

CAMPANELLI: Funny guy. I’m thinking of actually doing the same thing with my co-host Amanda.

O'BRIEN: Where’s Amanda today?

CAMPANELLI: She actually – something else came up. What’s up with that?

O'BRIEN: How often does “C-Dog” roll into town? What did she have to do that was so important?

CAMPANELLI: Something really important, I guess. It had to be important.

O'BRIEN: Sure, yeah. Maybe Michael Bolton’s in town. Sorry. That was a slam. By the way, worst guest. Huh?

CAMPANELLI: Time for another one of your requests, Conan. Is there any other video you’d like to see?

O'BRIEN: Let’s do some White Stripes, “The Hardest Button To Button.”

CAMPANELLI: Check it out.

“The Hardest Button To Button” by The White Stripes is shown.

CAMPANELLI: “The Hardest Button To Button,” The White Stripes there on MuchOnDemand. Conan O’Brien to my right. That was his video request. On your show, you’ve got some very hip, very edgy musical guests. I think the first time I saw Phantom Planet and Tenacious D were on your show.

O'BRIEN: That’s right.

CAMPANELLI: You’ve got your finger on the pulse.

O'BRIEN: We try to have the good music on, the edgy music.

CAMPANELLI: How do you book that stuff?

O'BRIEN: I go out there to the clubs and see what’s happening. I’m down with the kids and say let’s chip the chop and let’s do it. We have a music booker who – yeah. But every now and then I say, “Hey, I don’t dig that sound, and then those people go away and you never hear about them again.”

CAMPANELLI: Is that how it works?

O'BRIEN: Exactly.

CAMPANELLI: Let’s talk about when this show is airing you’re doing in Toronto this week. It’s going to be on CHUM local stations.

O'BRIEN: CHUM is so friendly sounding. “Where are you on again? CHUM. I’m on CHUM!”

CAMPANELLI: 12:35 A.M. starting tomorrow night.

O'BRIEN: That’s right. Tomorrow night is Mike Myers, and then we have Michael J. Fox on Wednesday, Mr. Adam Sandler is on Thursday, Jim Carrey on Friday. That’s the best lineup of shows we’ve ever had in a week, and so it says a lot, I think, about Canada and Toronto that you guys have so much talent here.

CAMPANELLI: Very strong lineup. If you miss the live show, you can catch the rebroadcast, encore presentation on our sister station Star!

O'BRIEN: Why would someone miss the first broadcast? What are you talking about?! You heard these people. They’re not going to miss the first broadcast. They’re gonna be there, alright?

CAMPANELLI: My producer told me to say that. I just had to say it.

O'BRIEN: I guess you don’t think for yourself. It’s all your producer, huh? You sicken me. Anyway…

CAMPANELLI: We have to take a commercial break. More with Conan O’Brien after that break. You want to come back. Don’t go anywhere.

COMMERCIAL

A classic clip of Late Night featuring the “NBC nude Turkish spa” is shown.

CAMPANELLI: You’re back with MuchOnDemand. Conan’s digging that music. That’s I Mother Earth, local band doing that music right there. You’re back, you’re here.

O'BRIEN: It’s all good.

CAMPANELLI: Before we say goodbye though, a couple of other questions, one from an audience member right back here. This is Ashley from Oakville.

O'BRIEN: How are you?

ASHLEY: How are you?

O'BRIEN: I’ll do my mic.

ASHLEY: I was wondering, because you’ve had a lot of guests, if there was one that was your favourite or you clicked really well with.

O'BRIEN: It’s hard to say which one is the absolute favourite, because I think we’ve done 1850 shows. There are three guests on a night, but my favourite one is definitely Jim Carrey, because when he comes on the show, he doesn’t just show up and say “Just ask me whatever you want.” He’ll call the night before and he’ll say, “What can we do that would be really funny?” And then he shows up early and he writes with us and he gets really excited about trying things and he’ll say, “Let’s do a Year 2000 but then I’ll run over here and I’ll beat up La Bamba.” What’s nice is he becomes part of the creative process and he doesn’t have an attitude of “I’m a big star and just ask me your questions and let me plug my movie.” He actually thinks I want this to be really funny for people watching it and exciting and different, so the fact that he’s doing our show Friday and he’s already called and said I want to work with the writers. I want to do some stuff that’s really cool and out there, that’s great. I think that’s really nice. I wish more guests were like that.

CAMPANELLI: That’s very cool. You blew his cover. I thought that was all spontaneous.

O'BRIEN: Oh, no. A lot of it is, but then he’ll work out things like special bits and you’ll appreciate it. Another person that does that is Tom Hanks, too. He’s a guy who wants it to be good. He doesn’t act like a huge star. He just wants it to be good.

CAMPANELLI: Let’s check out the good stuff. It’s airing on the CHUM local stations all this week Tuesday through Friday, 12:35 A.M. Let’s go outside one last time, say goodbye to the people who have come down to join us and then we’ll stop this Vote-o-Matic as well. After you, after you. There you go.

O'BRIEN: Yeah!

CAMPANELLI: One last time, Conan O’Brien, right here everybody! Well –

O'BRIEN: Hi everybody! How are you?

CAMPANELLI: We’re actually stopping the Vote-o-Matic. It was a Canadian-themed Vote-o-Matic. We had Nickelback on there, Fefe Dobson and Billy Talent on there. Nickelback is going to be performing on your show. Billy Talent actually won. It’s “The Ex.” Billy Talent – let’s say goodbye to Conan one last time. It was awesome of you to come by. Let’s see “The Ex,” winner of that last Vote-o-Matic.

“The Ex” by Billy Talent is shown.

CAMPANELLI: “The Ex” right there, Billy Talent, winner of that last Vote-o-Matic. Nickelback will be on the show tomorrow. They’ll be on Conan’s Late Night show as well this week. Staind coming in, Three Days Grace will be here as well. Give it up one more time for Conan O’Brien. He’s right back here. We thank him for coming on MuchOnDemand. We thank him for coming to Canada and Toronto. He will be doing his shows all week at the Elgin Theatre, Tuesday through Friday at 12:35 A.M. Thanks for watching everybody. Time to say goodbye, Conan. You had a good time?

O'BRIEN: Yeah, it was great. Thanks, everybody. You guys are the best.
