Conan O'Brien needs a fan. Want to talk to Conan? Visit teamcoco.com slash callconan. Okay, let's get started.
Hey everybody, Conan O'Brien here, and we're going to try something a little different. In the short time that I've been doing Conan O'Brien Needs a Friend, I've just been delighted. I'm having an absolute blast, and it's working. I'm actually making some nice bonds and friendships. with a lot of different people, but what occurred to me is all these people have one thing in common, they're celebrities. And I thought it might be nice to try making friends with average folk, people out there in the world. Civilians, not celebrities. Just talk to the people who make this great country we call the United States of America, or even people from other countries, it doesn't matter. Let's just talk to some regular folk and then hope, hope desperately that they become celebrities.
Oh my God.
That's the concept. What do you guys think, Matt? Horrible. Yeah, I'm all in. Why is that horrible? It's very important to me that eventually they become celebrities.
So you don't have time for anybody that would live their whole life as a regular Joe. As a folk.
Who would do that? What kind of monster would choose that life? No, seriously, I really do. I do want to, and especially, I have to say, a lot of this comes out of this last year. Let's get outside this bubble, this celebrity bubble that we're trapped in.
I'm not trapped in a celebrity bubble. No, I'm not even adjacent to it.
Oh, God, no. I didn't mean either of you. Oh, God, no. Oh, no, no, no. Oh, please. Oh, how embarrassing. I'm covering my mouth. I'm laughing.
Because, I mean, we don't even do a podcast with a celebrity, so how would we know?
Oh, snap. Snappity-dappity. Ouchy-wouchy.
I'm looking it up. I'm looking it up. I am looking it up. Yes, I am a celebrity. I just looked it up.
You Googled it?
Yeah, I am a B-lister, but I am a celebrity. So, fuck, I am. I am a solid B. I'm a solid B-list celebrity and I'm proud of it. And if Love Boat were still on the air, I could potentially be a guest. Not the first guest, but like the third guest who's the comic relief guest who stowed away.
I would kill to see you on Love Boat.
Yes. But anyway, this is something I want to do and I'm really looking forward to it. And I don't know. We're just going to give it a try and see how it goes.
Yeah, this is Conan O'Brien Needs a Fan, and it'll be out weekly in addition to the regular episodes, so just an extra special treat. And we might as well get to our first guest. Are you guys ready?
Yeah.
I am very ready. Conan, please meet Donovan, who is a minor league professional wrestler.
Wow. Donovan, very nice to talk to you. Where are you coming from, Donovan? Where are you?
I am in Michigan right now from Montreal.
Do you consider yourself a Canadian? No, no, I'm from Michigan. Oh, you're from Michigan.
Yeah, sorry, I probably said that wrong. My wife is from Montreal.
Wait, I'm confused already. You're from Michigan. You've married someone who's from Montreal.
Yes, exactly.
Okay.
So I'm in the process of getting my permanent residency there.
Thanks, I'm kidding. So Donovan, you are a professional wrestler, is that right? Yes. Okay, now help me because I know of a type of professional wrestler that has a character and I don't know, are you a professional wrestler who's really wrestling and using wrestling moves and it's not that fun to watch or are you a wrestler who's also kind of a performer and has a character?
I am a character. Actually, I have a picture if you want to see it. It's a, that's me.
Okay. Well, we are a podcast, so I'm going to describe it. You're sort of demonic looking. You just showed me a picture of what looked like a very fierce, evil, demonic wrestler.
Yes, so I go by the moniker very nice, very evil, because nobody likes somebody who's too evil. So I introduce the nice part of it, so then they buy into it and I can trick them.
Okay, very nice, very evil.
Often I get described if somebody, a demon possessed you, actually.
