I ran into Conan the other day and asked him 'Hey man, when's My Morning Jacket coming back on your show?' Know what he said? 'Oh these dudes can come back anytime!' So I said 'How about right after the album comes out?' He said 'When's that?' I said 'Early October dude!' So he said 'I got an opening on October 13th, I'll give em a call right away and I'm buying that album!' I said 'Conan, dude, you're awesome!'
So, October 13th, tune in on NBC!
It's true.
What connections! I'm impressed :o
Conan was in my dodgeball team, back in the days.
I also told him to get Christopher Walken on the same show. I can just picture him jumping on stage, showin us some of his mean and lean dance moves while MMJ is rockin out. Conan wasn't sure about this. Fingers crossed.
you need to send an email to the management...if they haven't already heard from you... ;D
Why? Conan said he would take care of it.
hey, it's all good. i just thought that they might be interested to hear that, but if conan is down, then there's no worries!
QuoteWhy? Conan said he would take care of it.
Did you make him write it down in his book?
This is very cool. Good work McGuire. :)
I can't stand Conan,he is about as funny as a train wreck (he did do some good writing for the Simpson's,though) but I will watch if he has MMJ back on.

Well, given the choices of late night personalities, I think Conan is the best. Jimmie Kimmel is awful and that old dude on CBS sucks! Hope they play on Letterman and Conan. Both respectable. Leno is a whore. Peace.
Settle down, my babies!
Yessss.....what do you think their pick for the song will be?
And how in the world do you just "run into" Canon O'Brien? You live in New York?
Hey I wonder if he ever did buy the album.
I would like to hear Off The Record on Conan.
:)
I wished they would play Steam Engine...I can't hear that song enough.
Lay Low would be good too. ;)
Nice work, McGuire.
I think Conan rules! I can't wait to see MMJ on Conan again. He did seem to genuinely like them last time. I'd like to hear 'Knot Comes Loose'.
Conan's commencement speech to Harvard in 2000 is one of the funniest things I've ever read. You should check it out if you haven't read it or you haven't yet developed a love for Conan. Here's a link:

conan is awesome. he seemed to be genuinely blown away by their performance. i've never really seen him react that way to other bands, and i've never heard him exclaim he will buy the album. i know conan plays guitar, so he was probably blown away by all the face melting happening. can't wait for another possible performance !
wouldnt it be cool if conan got MMJ on for an entire week kinda like he did with the white stripes or the strokes?
That commencement speech was awesome, and yes, MMJ should get a week.

The first thing that put me in contact with Conan was the jacket performance. Man, that blew me away. So I thought this show was pretty cool. Until the man started speaking. Jeezes, if that's the best choice of late night personalities, god bless the people without television overthere.
Although, the man may have some good taste for music.
Oh btw,
When the jacket is on, mid october, I'll sure watch. No doubt about that. ;D
I met Conan on the streets of NY about 10 years ago. His show was pretty new then. He was with his girlfriend now wife. He's like tall as hell. Huge hands... i shook his hand. I'm 6 4 and he towered over me. Nice guy. He obviously loves the jacket. He got so jazzed when they playe One Big Holiday w/ the old school crew ( JOhnny & CAsh).. Hopefully they'll book that gig. It was probably gonna happen anyway but nice going fellow jacket head.
=)
D
Conan rocks, he is a lil strange and he is goofy as hell but his musical guests are awesome.

You see what I see? :D
Oct 13th..........Nice Job Mcguire!!!!!! You made it happen baby, You're so frickin MONEY!!!!!

How EXCITING!!! Yay!
I'll have to go to a friend's house who has cable. :)
Nice work, McGuire.
On another note, why is the Z date TBA... I thought they'd got a date for it.
Oh fuck, please don't let them push it again. UNLESS there's a very good reason, like they're doing something really awesome to it.
Nice!!!
Not to be a naysayer, but if RCA is behind them, I doubt that it was McGuire's running into Conan that got them booked.
Not trying to be a dick, I'm just sayin'...
(although it makes for a great story)

Stop being such a dick, motherfucker. Maybe McGuire is Conan's friend.
(I'm just kidding about the dick and motherfucker part. I just felt like swearing. ;))
It's fun to curse sometimes.... just not in front of younglings.
:)

True. :)
(Wait, you don't mean that I did that, do you? Did I?)
No.... I was just sayin'. I used to curse all the time, but when I met my wife and future step-son, I had to tone it back 'cause I wasn't used to being around young'uns all the time.
:)
Okaaay good. I thought maybe I'd swore in front of him and nobody had told me.
Now I'm thinking about how awesome he is. :)
No worries.
And yeah, he is awesome. :)
Just for the record, Conan is not my friend. Please do not beg me for juicy stories.
I'm gonna catch up with you guys later. I'm gonna have a bathroom... go to the drink... in the bathroom.
Is McGuire Drunk?
I always thought McGuire had heard the jacket were going to play on Conan again and made up a funny story as a way of telling us. Don't know though.
what, you don't think he was really on his dodgeball team years ago?!
Quotewhat, you don't think he was really on his dodgeball team years ago?!
Good point. Hadn't thought of that! Dodgeball veterans never lie so now I've changed my view and believe the whole story.
So... McGuire certainly knows Conan from back in the day, but says he's not his friend... There's a story there ;)
Wow - nice work...maybe you can have him get Paris Hilton on too...
DÅLIGT! Nåt så jävulskt grymt...
I wonder when they're gonna show that episode in Sweden, I have to look it up man!
i marked this on the calendar. it's also my dad's birthday that day, so there will be lots of celebration!
I'm starting to think Conan had already booked them and was just fucking with me. Don't know though.

No way McGuire. It was all you, and the world really appreciates your efforts. :)
i would venture to bet you may have been instrumental! :)
Any guesses on what song they'll play? I could ask Conan but he would probably be bullshitting as always.
QuoteAny guesses on what song they'll play? I could ask Conan but he would probably be bullshitting as always.
My guess is Anytime or Off the Record.
Honestly, I think they'll try to do Lay Low. It seems Conan-esque for some reason.
anytime. sure to be the next single as well.
hopefully Anytime. that song is amazing
I figured it would be Off the Record but would love to hear anything!
Do you think this will be on the FTP server soon after?
as much as id love lay low, its going to be off the record. its always the single, folks.
Would make sense, wouldn't it?
Shit, I'm so pissed that I won't be able to see this when it airs! >:(

I'll have an MPEG up right after the show. No worries :)
That's fantastic news! Thanks VERY much Carter :)
I like My Morning Jacket, I like "Z", and I like Conan O'brien...
so it says thursday the 13th...does this mean wednesday night/thursday morning? since the show starts at 1230? or does this mean thursday night/friday morning?
I just hope they the owls get to be on Conan as well...
it means thursday night. (they tape it the day of the 13th)
(i know i know, it isn't live *GASP*)
thanks tommy
