A Fan Competed In A Balloon Debate As Conan - "Conan O'Brien Needs A Fan"

someone said you dressed up as me once. did you uh. yes well in high school we had a. in one of my speech classes we had a. balloon debate. so the goal was to. embody a certain public figure of your. choosing. and then debate these other public. figures and try to convince. them uh the class that you've. contributed the most to society. so in retrospect i chose to be conan. o'brien. because i was a big conan fan and still.

very nice of you so. and the idea is that you're all in a hot. air balloon and you have to justify who. gets tossed out and who stays. yes that's the idea who are the other. who are the other people in the hot air. balloon with you oh i think there's like. a rosa parks. oh my gosh oh no. i think i i lost to tony morrison i. think tony morrison really. of course you did of course you did. rosa parks tony morrison that's terrible. oh. boy no after everything rosa parks was.

went through to be then. told that you have to chop out of a. balloon it's terrible no. yeah i think i think uh i'm so ashamed. that i was in with that group. and i hope that you just dove out of the. balloon immediately yeah i didn't. i didn't last super long and i probably. did i hope you did. i didn't last super long yes i was in. there with socrates. rosa parks uh tony morrison christ. [Laughter].

and then conan o'brien's in the balloon. who's the first that should go well. uh let's debate this that's not a debate. oh but you know what you did think. outside the box and that's cool. everybody else seems kind of obvious. yeah i guess so. i'm trying to i'm trying to help no. that's true that's true they all chose. people that are just. revered right i'm gonna just say it and. you'd chose someone who. uh revered maybe by some um uh. but um yeah i don't belong in that.

company at all. i i so i'm so glad i didn't have to be. there to witness it right because. that's the kind of thing if i if that. had been televised or if i'd seen it and. they said here's tony morrison here's. jesus christ you know here's buddha. here's and then. conan o'brien i would have thrown up all. over myself. yeah and i do think in all honesty it. was probably like the costume was a. little half-assed. i might have uh done a little bit better. i really just. wore one of my dad's suits and that was.

pretty much it and was like i'm conan. o'brien. so wait you didn't you didn't put an i. look at your impression of me is that i. just. you can't see this but i'm gonna. describe it you put your hands in the. air. and bobbed side to side yeah uh like uh. a cartoon uh chipmunk. um you didn't put a wig on or anything. well i didn't i didn't have the budget. for a conan wig. i don't know those things probably go. for a lot of money i don't know. those things. hey look my conan wig is very reasonable.

okay it's the one i wear on the show. and it's it's it's uh available uh you. can get it on etsy. and it's 35 you just have to keep it in. the freezer because it starts to rot.
