Rewind: 1993 interview with Conan O'Brien prior to launch of new NBC talk show

Thirty-year-old Conan O'Brien wasn't exactly unknown to industry insiders. He had been a writer and sometimes performer on "Saturday Night Live". He also served as a writer/producer on the animated series "The Simpsons". Then, last April, he was named as David Letterman's replacement and the media spotlight began to take sharp focus.

Conan talking about kissing Patrick Stewart and Ryan Reynolds like he's the bell of the ball is so great, and how obviously uncomfortable he is with physicality becoming manifest as he recounts that Ryan Reynolds played with his ear when they made out 😭😭😭

that's insane commitment from Ryan Reynolds and it's so funny how conflicted Conan feels about it years later LMAO god as a gay guy i adore homiesexual shit it's so funny every time

especially how Conan accurately mimes exactly how Ryan played with his ear despite the fact that he is very clear about the fact he never watches his own work-- that means that it is engrained in his memory 😭😭😭

A Visit To The Last DVD Store While packing for a trip to Auckland, I saw that one of the latest episodes of Conan Needs a Friend podcast was with a caller working in ‘The Last DVD Store’.

The aforementioned store is Alice in Videoland and it's based in Christchurch, where I was staying with relatives for a month. So I HAD TO give it a listen and, eventually, a visit. Luckily, I had friends in town who were down to accompany me on this admittedly geeky excursion.

Didn’t meet the caller, James, but we did get to talk to one of his co-workers who told us that we—at least to his knowledge—are the first people to visit the store because of the podcast. He also had interesting news to share…

Conan recently dropped by himself as part of his HBO travel show, Conan Must Go. That’s James with him on a framed photo that sits proudly on the store’s wall. It’s for the second season, which hasn’t aired yet—so I guess that’s a spoiler?

Team Coco connection aside, as a film geek who grew up in the era of video rentals, but had no access to a shop with a selection this massive, I was truly in a wonderland. I could have spent my entire day there.

I mean, this is just a small section of the store but it already offers an array of standout films: The Holdovers, Anatomy of a Fall, Perfect Days, Civil War, Barbie, Past Lives, Furiosa, Challengers, Pearl, May December, Decision to Leave, Tár, Monkey Man, Dune, Monster, and The Banshees of Inisherin.

The international section was also impressive. Scanned it for Daniel Brühl films and was not disappointed.

It also has an accompanying theatre. I didn't get to watch a movie there, but I did catch the 70th anniversary screening of Seven Samurai in Lumière Cinema. I've been meaning to check out the works of Akira Kurosawa for a while now and to also watch a movie in a boutique cinema so I figured - why not hit two birds with one stone? Never mind that it was 3.5 hour black and white Japanese movie from the 1950s and that I woke up at an ungodly hour that day to catch a 6AM flight back to Christchurch. They served my coffee in a ceramic mug and all the seats had a tray attached—I was chuffed.

Also, not me stifling a squeal in an art gallery when I saw Goodbye, Lenin! in the Canterbury Film Society brochure... and the disappointment when I realized the month it was scheduled for had already passed.

Oh well, you can't have it all. Did get to explore Hobbiton as well—because New Zealand—but perhaps I'll save that post for a different time.

I'm sorry for having basically disappeared from Tumblr, as I've been very busy lately, but I had to make room to honor this guy's birthday in the best way I could. I'll be back soon, promise!

Happy 62nd birthday, Coco!!!

Here's to the living proof that yes, amazing things do happen if you work hard and are kind. And also proving that the real secret out there is to remain open-minded and, really, young at heart.

We love you, Conan Christopher! 🧡🧡🧡

Happy birthday to Conan Christopher O'Brien (April 18, 1963)

"I don't know any jokes. But if you put me in a situation where for an hour I have to entertain you, I'll make you laugh. I don't know what's gonna happen and it might get pretty ugly." - Conan
