Christina Ricci & Conan Lived In The Same NYC Building | Conan O'Brien Needs A Friend
Hi, my name is Christina Richi and I. feel pretty good about being conclifal. good. It means it isn't that good. Yeah. And and I was like pretty good. I'm. falling right into the old boyfriend. mode. Pretty good. What's wrong with. like amazing or really good or just. good? I feel fantastic. No, too late. Oh. Um, Christina, uh, I'm really happy to see. you because it's been quite a while.
since I've seen you and I have a very. nostalgic. feeling, uh, about seeing you because. you came on the show for the first time. Uh, I think I think it was for Adam's. Family, the first Adams Family movie. possibly. You were a kid. Was that But I. was like 15, right? So I think that was for Casper. Was it. for Casper? I think so. I mean, you were. a kid and I remembered feeling I thought.
you would come on for Adam's Family. I. remembered Raul Julia came on for Adam's. Family. Okay. Well, then maybe I thought. you came on, you know, someone whatever. Right now, Eduardo's uh I see 1999 and. 2005. So, I'm not sure where that Okay, that's going to be later. That's going. to be like in the Casper area. But, but. see what we've done. And when I say we, this is really on. you, Christina. You could have just. said, "Sure, Adam's family." I'm really. sorry. You know, and then we wait for. some nerd to contact us and go,
"Incorrect.". But we don't even read that post. Um, what I remember is you were very young. You'd be whatever. You'd be like 15. I'm. a guy in his 30s at the time, mid30s. And I remembered um being a little bit. intimidated because you were so. convincing as Wednesday Adams. You were. so your deadpan was so amazing. I was. very impressed with you and still am,
but you just so nailed it uh at such a. young age and I remember just I don't. know just feeling a little bit like oh. I've she could she could kill me with. that look. Do you know what I mean? I. was a little bit intimidated. Well, no. one should have been intimidated by me. then. It was, you know, just a teenage. rest. But do you remember that we lived. in the same building in New York? Also, I was going to bring this up, too. We. lived in there's this building called. the police building, which there was. this No, it really is. It was Teddy. Roosevelt. Not Teddy. Yeah. The other.
No, no, it was Theodore When Theodore. Roosevelt was uh was chief of It wasn't. chief of police. No, he was chief of. police. He was police commissioner. He. was police commissioner, which I think. is a different title, but anyway, basically, look at us. We keep. qualifying each other. No, it was Casper. and it was police commissioner. and it's Reachi with three C's. You never knew that. There's this cool. building downtown and for a brief period. I thought I wonder if I'm cool guy and I. moved into the police building. No, it.
was really cool. But I wanted to live. there because I had just read the. alienist and they talked about how there. was the tunnel between the building and. O'Neal's. So I was really excited about. that building which probably doesn't. exist. Uh, no. I asked a lot of jan like. the janitors and stuff and they were. like, "What are you talking about?" I. was like, "You know, the tunnel, the. alienist, you could just walk around the. corner." Great book, great novel by. Caleb Carr, which is all about, you. know, late 19th century crimeolving. And Theodore Roosevelt's in it because.
he's the police commissioner at the. time. And um, and the police building is. this famous old building that they had. converted into apartments. And here are. the people that I remembered. I walked. down to my apartment which is the end of. the hall. Occasionally I'd see you like, "Wow, Christina Reachi also Kyle. Mccclaclin." Yes, Kyle lived there. And. he lived there with his girlfriend at. the time, supermodel Linda Evangelista. Oh my god. I rode in the elevator with. them one day and she was really the most.
beautiful woman I'd ever seen in real. life. Well, I've got a runner up for. you. Or maybe a tie, which is the other. person who lived there. I don't know if. they both lived there or if they one of. them lived there and the other was. staying there. Cindy Crawford and Randy. Gerber. Oh, but also Christy Turlington. lived there. Christy Turlington. Okay, so you've got all these people like all. these crazy crazy big people. Used to be. in the gym with my mother. My mother. would be like, I had a wonderful talk. with Christy today when I was on the. treadmill. Insane, right? So I was.
thinking maybe I belong here and I was. flooded cuz this is Conan. I mean I. don't belong there now. There was no. time when I belonged there, but I was I. don't know. I want to say I'm 34 years. old, still trying to figure out how to. dress, like I'm not in high school. And. I've been doing the late night show for. about four years. And I remembered one. day rushing to get on the elevator, getting on the elevator, and it was. whatever n it was Cindy Crawford and. Randy Gerber looking. I'm I threw on a.
t-shirt like a who farted t-shirt and. and like some shorts and probably like. Birkenstocks and ran on the elevator. after putting like still had acne. ran. on the elevator. I'm like, "Hold the. door." And I get on and it's those two. glowing, just glowing. And I think they. like kind of made out on the elevator on. the way down. And I was like, "I'll have.
a girlfriend one day. You'll see.". But I remembered seeing you uh super. cool. I was not I was a total wreck. I. was in my garbage pail kid style moment. I didn't know that. Yeah. You know, I. had decided that if I was going to be. that ugly anyway that I was going to. dress as hideously as possible. So, I. wore like a lot of conflicting colors. and really big pants and men's underwear. and just was my whole style. Garbage. pail kids. Um, well, I don't know why. you had that self-image. That's I was a. te as a teenager. You're a teenager,
right? Okay. So, you had that dysmorphia. going for you.
