David. a quick question did you get to meet. Kelly Clarkson I did you did I did okay. we were this is this is we were driving. today together and we're uh listening to. Kelly's new album chemistry and um at.

one point we've finished like the third. or fourth song and I said oh that song's. uh that's really good and you looked at. me and said it's impossible for Kelly to. have a bad song it's true it's true I. know but you are such a fanatic it must. have been nice to meet her that is I. brought a vinyl she signed up for me oh. I didn't ask you if I could do that. because I didn't want to risk you saying. no so I just brought it well now I look. like a controlling to everybody. I thought the answer is I would like it. and I will shred it in front of it.

um no I would have said yes I you really. so you really were afraid to ask me if. you could I actually wasn't no you just. forgot yeah I just forgot okay it's. easier to say I'm afraid than I forgot. I'm glad I'm glad you met her isn't she. nice she is really nice thank you yeah. oh please you let it you've made it. happen he told me yesterday he was like. you're gonna get one-on-one time and. then I wasn't sure if it was a bit or if. it was true and it was true what what do. you and Sona always think that my acts. of kindness are a cruel joke.

yeah. he said something nice earlier and I. started getting super defensive yeah. yeah. sound time one-on-one time with uh Kelly. Clarkson and I half meant it. I knew that I would be able to swing it. yeah she's so nice that's gonna say no. I'm out of here I've performed what I. needed to do now I'm gone she's just a. lovely person where is she now I think. she's working the hallway because they. gave her such a great reception when she. walked out so how can we help you David.

uh I think you're gonna take some. questions from I have no idea what's. happening I don't know why that's I. honestly thought you were bringing me my. lunch. anyone has a question raise your hand. yeah. so when's your new HBO Max show stuff oh. thank you for asking uh we. I I shot this show as you know we do. this podcast and then I we talked to. Famous folk like Kelly Clarkson but then. uh usually in the middle of the week I. talked to anyone in the world who just. wants to talk to me and so the idea was.

many of these conversations as you guys. know because you're there and with them. saying well Conan if you're ever in. Nigeria hop on stop on by and they say. it kind of like a joke so what we. decided to do is a show that HBO Max. said they wanted to do uh where I talked. to them you see a minute or two clip of. that and then I show up at their door. and I get involved in their life and the. Conan remote style where I'm I'm.

literally going through their kitchen. and tearing open their closets and then. trying to help them achieve what it is. they wanted to achieve or work out a. problem they have with their mom which. is an episode that we shot in Bangkok. and. um so I we shot some of them and then. the writer strike came. and so we shut everything down and so. and so the writer's Guild is satisfied. and they get a good because I started. out as a as a TV writer and so I'm. backing them a thousand percent until. they get what they want we the show will.

uh. the show will sort of stay in limbo and. then whenever that gets resolved we can. uh I I hope uh finish it up so all of us. right now in this business are just. waiting to see uh what's gonna happen. but there is a there was a trailer. that's out there that people can check. out if you want it's called Conan. O'Brien must go yeah and. uh people do like a title that shits on. me.
