Ep 36. Virginia Is for Lovers, But So Is My Van
- March 6, 2012
Conan O'Brien is back with another hilarious episode of his Emmy-winning talk show, "Conan". In season 2012 episode 36, titled "Virginia Is for Lovers, But So Is My Van", Conan invites a diverse range of guests onto his show to discuss everything from pop culture, to politics, to everyday life.
One of the episode's most memorable moments comes when Conan interviews comedian Jay Mohr, who shares an infamous story about getting lost in Virginia while trying to drive from New York to North Carolina. Mohr explains that, after getting lost for hours, he finally pulled over and asked a local for directions. However, instead of receiving helpful advice, he was directed to a "massage parlour" where he had an unexpected encounter with a woman named "Sunshine". It's not every day that Conan's guests leave him speechless, but Mohr's story certainly does.
In addition to Mohr, Conan also welcomes actress Megan Mullally, who talks about her role in the hit sitcom "Will & Grace". Mullally offers some behind-the-scenes insights into the making of the show, including her favorite scenes and what it was like working with the rest of the cast.
The episode also includes a special musical performance by the indie band Metric, who play their hit single "Youth Without Youth". Conan clearly enjoys the performance, dancing along and even jumping up onto his desk at one point.
But as always, it's Conan's comedic wit and charm that steal the show. In one segment, he takes to the streets of Virginia to interview locals and ask them their thoughts on various topics. From whether they think the moon landing was faked, to whether aliens exist, the answers he receives are both hilarious and surprising.
Overall, "Virginia Is for Lovers, But So Is My Van" is yet another entertaining and unpredictable episode of "Conan". Whether you're a die-hard fan of the show or just looking for a good laugh, this is an episode you won't want to miss.
