Cornell Hockey on Conan O'Brien

PinkyGen · January 12, 2006, 07:37:20 PM

FYI
I went to see Conan O'Brien filmed today, wearing my Cornell Hockey Sweatshirt. I was extremely lucky, and Conan actually picked me out of the audience and brought me onstage for one of the gags he does before the audience comes out. The sweatshirt is clearly visible, and he asks me a few questions about Cornell and whether I played hockey there. (The answer was no, but I watched, and that hockey was very important). The actual conversation about hockey is maybe 20 seconds, but there's something else that happens with hockey later during the sketch.
I thought people here would be interested in the shout-out for the program on national TV, albeit somewhat short. ;-)

Nice.

But I am confused. If it was on the skit before the audience comes out then will it be shown on the air?

Someone in an eastern time zone please report after wathcing the show (to save me the trouble of staying up late)

Thanks, Roy

It should be on their air. Conan always does something funny before the guests come on.

12:35am on NBC, at least in EST. Not sure about other time zones.

I shall add, 12:35 PM tonight (Thursday the 12th), though there is some sort of repeat tommorrow as well.

Just caught it. That was pretty funny, David. I would have expected at least *one* "Harvard sucks" out of you, though :-P

After coming home from my own hockey game, and checking the forum, I saw PinkyGen on Conan as promised. Funny bit that comes on right after the opening and lasts for 3 mins.

Congrats, your 15 mins of fame are 1/5 gone.

"So, why did you choose to play hockey at Cornell?"
"Well, I was going to go to (insert WCHA school), but there was this guy on the Conan O'Brien show..."

Yes, it aired - it was a goofy segment, but it was nice to see "Cornell Hockey" on the screen for a few solid minutes.

And the minor confusion about whether the segment would air stemmed from the fact that PinkyGen first said "before the audience came on," when he meant (and later said) guests. No harm, no foul, it actually aired.

Bed now...

I just caught it. Imagine my surprise getting ready for sleep and seeing the red on tv. I actually did a double take. Could've told Conan he was the best thing to come out of Boston though. :-)

Very nice,
DD

Yeah, that confused me too. Right before the guests is the best part of Conan.

thanks

Especially since Conan went to Harvard.
