Conan Falls In Love With Chris Martin | Conan O'Brien Needs A Friend

hi my name is Chris Martin and I feel. really great about being Conan O'Brien's. friend that's sweet I feel great about. being here with you I'm a I don't know. what we just did we tried to high five I. think I put my hand out in the incorrect. way well we reached across the aisle we. did immediately fell in love with you. once our hands touched I have to say. well I fell in love with you years ago. so very sweet well you know it's nice. you and the jents from cplay did the. show a number of times and then you came. on and we chatted once but I've always.

wanted to do this every time I've run. into you you seemed like a fascinating. smart witty guy but in that other format. I can't just sit and talk to you and. sort in the chat show. format it's 67 no it is supposed to be. the idea but in America anyway once you. have the band and all the comedy. sketches and everything else you never. really get the time to get to know. somebody I also felt that in the chat. show um hierarchy singers are right at. the bottom I don't know if that's true. it's like we've got the die juggling.

koalas he's on before you and a guy that. was was once on a rerun of a pilot he's. on before you and then at 2 a.m we're. going to talk to you for one minute and. then we're going to cut to uh yeah okay. cool Chris in defense the koala guy was. amazing he was amazing those were live. koalas most of them were not injured. what was I was looking at the other day. I just came across tape of The Beatles. on Ed Sullivan and they have like people. you know doing tricks with monkeys and. you know crazy acrobats and then it's.

like time for The Beatles and you're. thinking this is what is it about this. why would you even have any kind of show. other than just you've got the Beatles. you just have them on I'm happy we're. talking about this because we just did. um SNL last week which we love doing so. much and Pedro Pascal was hosting I saw. and he was amazing yeah it just sort of. reminded me that it's great to have. someone famous come on TV but it's. really great to have someone who really. knows what they're doing and can act and. I think it's the same for talk shows you.

know there's great guests and there's. probably on so you have to scrape the. barrel a bit oh I'm happy to name names. no don't name but also if you think. about like all the competitive music. shows the the voice and all you have to. remember everything is a TV show or the. Grammys that's what it is first and. foremost and so even if you're the most. interesting composer in the world it. might not be great TV right that's the. way I've always looked at it you know I. I'll tell you that this is something. that I think it's exceptional for actors. in the UK many times which is over the.

30 years that I was doing that TV stuff. I noticed that uh American. actors I mean I'm talking about great. actors terrific actors topof the top. they mutter their they give one syllable. answers they don't want to ever smile. cuz that's not cool they've all been. influenced going back to James Dean but. then I'd have these people on like. Richard Harris I'd have these uh British. actors on who are of the best acting.

chops in the world and they're rack. Contours yeah they love to be funny and. they tell stories and I mean I was. always Blown Away by that there's. something about in the UK where no no. you need to be able to tell a story you. need to be able to land a joke it's it's. in the blood I think do you think that. comes from the different types of. training or the you know the more. theatrical background in London or what. do you think is from I think it's the. tall poppy syndrome it's the same thing. with the Irish the English the Scottish.

they're very self-aware you can't if you. get too big someone else will chop you. down if you if you get a big head if. your ego gets too big someone else will. let you know it whereas American actors. can take themselves really seriously and. there's no one around to say shut your. face you're acting like an idiot and I. think that's to me that's where the. difference is yeah yeah okay all right. well that's all the time we have um I'm. just here to tell you things that I've.

I've got a new thing in my life of if. someone says something that I don't. necessarily agree with I just say okay. great but rather then I I don't really. want to I don't I'm trying to remove any. conflict in terms of we've tried for. years to sort of see if the the sort of. way of changing people's minds is. telling them they're wrong and I don't. think it is and I definitely feel that. more strongly than ever so I'm trying to. just listen I mean you're a light a.

lighter example I'm talking about if. someone's talking about fascism or this. or that well I was going to get to. Fascism and I think there are a lot of. advantages to Fascism okay the trains.
