Norah Jones Wants To Get Dolly Parton On Conan’s Podcast | Conan O'Brien Needs A Friend

your East Coast exclusively pretty much. yeah yeah New York is that just it's so. funny because I was so East Coast for so. many years and then came yeah I know. this way I remember and uh yeah that's. right you greeted me as I landed you. were at the American Airlines gate. actually I saw you once at the airport. in New York uh probably I don't know how. old your oldest child is but you had a. newborn in your arms yeah and it was. like after a red eye from La yeah and we.

had done your show a couple times and. and I was like look there's Conan. O'Brien you're holding a newborn yeah it. wasn't my baby yeah it was definitely. your baby. they were just giving them out on the. fight you know yeah oh like it was first. class you get a baby if you want no I. didn't want to say hi I didn't want to. say hi but you didn't no I didn't say hi. because you were it was like a red eye. it was six in the morning. yeah and now I feel like I would say hi. to you if I saw you at six in the. morning and you were holding a newborn I.

love randomly bumping into people that I. adore I remember so clearly coming off I. think a red eye and going into JFK and. there's this one specific part of the. airport I'm walking through and I bump. right into literally almost ran into. Paul Rudd oh amazing I remembered he was. holding a guitar case because he was. working on on on his guitar playing and. we bumped into each other and we had. this really great conversation and now. every time I passed that part of the JFK.

a terminal when I'm walking through. which I am all the time I I think of. like this romantic moment. yeah and he's told me that he thinks of. it too that's sweet you should recreate. it yeah I think we should just marry him. yeah thank you no one you know what. nobody dislikes Paul right and I've been. searching because I'm one I'm determined. to find something totally true yeah. there's some people all red and Dolly. Parton oh my God yeah nobody dislikes. have you worked with Dolly I I have.

before yeah you have creeping in with. Dolly parties yeah and she came and. saying with us at the Ryman and I got to. sing one of her songs with her okay. that's just crazy but this is forever. ago and um I I mean she's the best it. doesn't matter if it's forever ago it. happened she's the best she is the best. she's the best and the funniest you. should have Dolly on yes no no I'm not. ready she's not ready yet she's ready. she needs to prove herself a little more. in the world of Music yes.

yeah it will happen Adam it's going to. happen please but one of my favorite. things this reminds me of when you host. a show people are always suggesting. guests yeah early days of my late night. show there was a guy who. um I can't remember what I think he was. from Central America and his job was to. sort of be the guard that stood on the. way into the elevators at 30 Rock to get. into our part of the building where the. offices were I remember this guy was.

very nice he was very young and uh I. think his name was like Luis I think and. I'd come in and he'd be like oh hello. Conan good to see you and I said oh hi. Louise you know have a good day I. remember when I came by once and he said. hey Conan and I said yes he said the. Rolling Stones are in town and I said oh. that I know Luis it's been in all the. papers and he said I think they'd be. pretty good on your show. yes Luis they would be amazing on the. show but the Rolling Stones are the. biggest musical act in the world and.

they don't do shows like mine any and um. also if they were going to do a show. they'd probably do like a big 11 30 show. like Letterman and I'm a 12 30 show and. you know we've only been on a few years. so they wouldn't probably come on my. show and he looked at me and he Shrugged. and he went I think that'd be good. so sweet like I was blowing him off. you're missing enough you're right. you like Mick Jagger was on the phone.

like come on. no that's funny if somebody told me I. should have Billy eilish on my podcast. and I was like that would be amazing I I. don't know if she would want to do my. podcast. that's the nice thing is you are in that. sweet spot of. um I just think a new act uh an act. that's been around for a hundred years. anyone's going to want to do your. podcast yeah well thanks not anyone but. I I'm I'm I'm let me talk to them Utah.

you be my liaison please. give me Billy Ellis you're gonna do. Norah Jones see who am I Conan O'Brien. from television well not anymore. television but used to be television I. understand you there are you there. yes maybe I shouldn't do that do that. for me yeah I was having dinner with. Nick Offerman and Megan Mullally and one.

of someone looked over and in a far. Corner booth. was Dolly oh wow oh wow and I know Dolly. because I think she did the Late Night. show once or twice. and. they are both like can you bring us over. and introduce us to Dolly Parton and it. was just so it was like going to say. hello to the pope yeah actually. I'm going to save higher than the pope. whoa well I'm sorry yeah you are very.

your family especially yeah very. Catholic yeah but there's a lot of popes. they keep replacing them you're right. there's only one yeah there's been like. 175 popes right then they had two popes. at the same time right so. I'm sorry the the pope like the Euro has. been devalued there's just too many of. them being too many of them are being. minted but there's only one Dolly Parton. it's true and very man is she she's the. best she is the nicest person we were.

all like. quaking in our boots and she couldn't. have been uh a More Beautiful Soul she's. very giving with herself like her her. personality and everything you know also. she has never. she's always of the time yeah in this. crazy way which is so if you you know in. the 60s 70s 80s 90s like right now. wisdom from her is as precious.

as it's ever been and and or or her. doing a musical performance it's just. kind of neat how she sort of transcends. time I don't know how she does this. she's great well she just got inducted. to the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame and. she she thought it was kind of funny. because she says she's not a rock and. roll musician but she did it anyway and. she's very gracious about it and now. she's made a rock and roll album oh. really I think as a sort of uh like you. know I might as well and I think that's. pretty awesome I almost feel like nine. to five is kind of a rock and roll song.

yeah I mean genre I mean so much she. definitely deserved it but yeah yeah. every rock and roll song that has. typewriter for percussion oh that's. right yes yeah that's so cool we just. had. um it'll have already been out I think. by the time but Jane Fonda sat in that. chair oh my God a couple days ago and we. got on the topic of Dolly Parton and she. spoke of her as if she was the you know. I mean she idolizes Dolly Parton and uh.

told these really great stories about. her. so it's Dolly week get Conan. thanks uh you know what I we've all. wanted Dolly but Adam sacks is forbidden. it for now yeah yeah. there's one track she cut in 1973 that.
