Conan Is Obsessed With Nicolas Cage (Feat. Don Cheadle) | Conan O'Brien Needs A Friend

I'm obsessed with Nicholas Cage I'm just. going to tell you and I'm going. somewhere with this cuz I know you've. worked with Nick Cage and I I covet any. Nick Cage story and if there's anything. you can give me I'll be I'll die a happy. man oh man and very soon yeah what can I. give you of Nick Cage you worked with. him in the family man which is like I. think it was made in 2000 I think yeah. Nick always had very serious things to. we we didn't have a lot of light. conversation really you you meet Nick he. gets in the car he's right.

in and we were right into some heavy. stuff like right away and I was like oh. I'll meet you where you live we'll just. live in heavy so we'll be in heavy stuff. so I can't I don't have any like. apocryphal light delightful stories. about Nick that's that's just making me. happy but let me tell you I am so glad. and so happy to see what he has done. yeah and how his career because he is. doing what he wants to do and he has. become I mean he was already really.

really really really good but I think. opening himself up to all these. different things and going like I'll do. an insane comedy all the way I'll do a. super dark horror movie I'll Do you know. yeah he's just my favorite kind of an. actor who's like let's see how many. gears I have let's open this thing up. and just have fun and just play and do a. lot of good stuff and I think he's. really proven that he's like really real. he's really I watched face off recently. and it is one of the most bananas insane.

SL bananas SL delightful films and it's. both of these guys uh it's Travolta and. Kate just going for it chewing the. scenery Chewing It Up swallowing it. bombing it back up again like a dog. reating it yeah yeah yeah yeah uh but. one of my favorite moments is um you. know we did so many weird odd bits but. we had one bit that's not even wasn't. well known or anything but it was um a. segment of the show where I'd go visit a.

horse it was a horse's head like it was. a kid show and the horse it was someone. in a horse costume and his name was. clappy and i' say now it's time for. another visit with clappy and we'd play. this goofy kids music and I'd go over. and I'd talk to this horse and the horse. would say these be like oh Conan and. then he would say these very depressing. things very depressing things and then. wander off and you'd always hear a. gunshot and I'd go oh my God like Cappy. killed himself but then Cappy would come. back and EXP expl what The Gunshot was.

and how it had nothing to do with him. and and he's okay but then he'd be very. depressed again and then leave and the. and that was the bit and then um this. faux uh very dark sketch uh for kids. about a horse named clappy and it had a. really fun uh song that went with it and. one day uh we didn't even do it that. often but I think Nick Cage was on our. show one time and he came. out and we're talking and then out of. nowhere he just went.

I like. cloppy and I was like. I what and he just turns out had you. know caught the show Once when Cappy was. on and that had caught his imagination. and out of nowhere he just went I like. cloppy so what we did is I insisted I. told my writers take that and the next. time we do cloppy and every time we did. cloppy after that we do the whole. opening to cloppy and then a a circle. wipe would come up and it would say.

endorsed by Nicholas Cage and he'd go I. like. cloppy without his permission of course. but I don't know. why I just like the whole concept that. this sketch has been endorsed by. Nicholas Cage and then just his head. comes up out of nowhere from the. interview I like I likeapp yeah I bet he. loved it bet if you guys if you saw him. again he would maybe do the cloppy movie. if you guys figured it. out I bet I don't even have to figure it. out.

I just write something quickly on an. envelope I'll do it based on a true. story Bas based on a true story We sued. by the real cloppy Cappy's heirs come to. get you that's not how dad. was you misrepresented. Dad wasn't there a story where you were. in a car with him shooting a movie and. he owned the car or something yes and he.

did not re yes that was the day one can. you tell. that it's like hey it's Nick nice to. meet you I'm like nice to meet you he's. like yeah I it's a great car it's a. Ferrari did he told me the exact make in. the the year and he's like I love this. car I had a car like. this I think this is my. car wait this the car you're shooting in. yes the camera car the picture car was. his car he had owned it before he had. owned it had so many cars that he was.

like God looks like one of the cars that. I. own like he reaches under the seat and. finds like CH this is my car. yeah wait a minute turn your head I have. to reach over. here they told me they destroyed this. car oh God he's owned that many that. yeah the chances that any car he gets in. probably 50/50 he's owned it owned it he.

did it look Nick Cage was a movie star. back I mean he still is but he was like. sweet spot of movie star he was Island. getting mov I think he's the I mean I. remember him I think buying a dinosaur. or something he was one of those guys. who was buying that's right uh yeah just. crazy things din egg and yeah yeah yeah. I got you know it's it's funny I've. never come. close even if I had the money I'd be. like way too cautious to like to buy a. dinosaur what's the smallest dinosaur.

Velociraptor it's 2 in. high and they're quite plen I don't want. to stand out at parties yeah. $75 for this petrified baby. Velociraptor do these things appreciate. or like a car as soon as you put it in. your pocket it starts to lose value I'm. not going to buy one dinosaur for a lot.
