Conan to film the Tonight Show @ MN state fair if he is provided with his weight in chocolate bacon

[6souls]

"I won the contest and I brought her with," a local fan said to Conan O'Brien when he visited KARE 11 earlier this year.

After spending the spring getting close to fans and TV news teams, last week Conan enjoyed a round of questions from dozens of NBC affilates.

"How do I get my hair looking that good?" Conan asked a reporter during a satellite interview.

Maybe endured, is the better word for the round of hair-raising Q and A.

"I put Hellman's mayonnaise in there," Conan said during a long, creative description of what he does to his trademark top.

He fielded questions from Scranton to Seattle and all points in between.

"Hello again from Minnesota," I said to Conan as our interview began.

Conan tackled the hottest Tonight Show topics.

"The Insult Comic Dog is always welcome here at the Tonight Show."

He covered what will be the same and what will be different.

"I don't to just do a re-tooled Late Night with Conan O'Brien, an hour earlier. So, and to that extent, I think southern California, and being in a completely different environment, is going to fuel our creativity," Conan said.

Indeed the self-proclaimed poster boy for sun block is already working California into the comedy.

"If you're not in a car, something's very wrong with you. So I'm not used to that. So what I do is smash my car into other cars and get out and say hey, it's nice to meet you," Conan joked.

Spending as little time as possible on the Leno and Carson comparisons.

"I am who I am to quote Popeye," Conan quipped.

Conan says he's working on ways to put his stamp on the show, like taking the show on the road.

"You talked earlier about being willing to take the show on the road. Might I suggest the St. Paul Winter Carnival in January? We'll make you an ice desk," I said.

"I'm there," Conan said, pointing at the camera. "I love that idea. I will do it. An ice desk is a great idea. What guests do you think we can get?" he asked.

I suggested Prince.

"If you can get Prince, I'm there," Conan continued.

And if we can't get Conan a purple-clad rock star, the new State Fair meat treat might be our ticket to bringing the Tonight Show to the Twin Cities.

"I've heard you guys have a chocolate-covered bacon. I will take the Tonight Show to the State Fair for a week if I can get my body weight in chocolate-covered bacon," Conan said.

"Done deal," I said.

Tonight live from Los Angeles, but if Conan's word is good, someday maybe St. Paul.

"My favorite food in the world is when meat becomes candy," Conan said laughing.

Conan is a beast.

[Pendas]

Funny thing is he would probably do it, he's know for taking his show to different locations (Finland, Canada) so I wouldn't be surprised if he did it provided he gets the chocolate Bacon.

[Casty]

PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE, I am 60 mins away from Twin Cities... I would go just to see Conan.
