Bob and I saw Conan O’Brien last night in Denver. Since getting kicked off the Late Show he embarked on a comedy tour. It was called the “Legally Prohibited from Being Funny on Television” tour. I knew he was tall because he always pokes fun at himself, but holy cow he was really tall with self-proclaimed long spider legs. He also sported his signature red puffy wave of hair.
I didn’t realize how musical Conan is. Throughout the show he would perform with the band. He’d play guitar and the keyboard and he is pretty good. He would change lyrics to well-known songs to reflect the drama he is involved in with Jay Leno and the Tonight Show. Oddly enough, he never once mentioned Jay Leno’s name, but we assume it is for legal reasons. Here is his band:
Partway through the show he brought out a surprise. The Fray! It was an acoustic performance with just the piano and guitar. They played “Over My Head” (Cable Car), and “You Found Me”. They are from Denver so it was nice to have a local famous act perform.
