Conan O'Brien has the BEST band of all the television talk shows. Vivino rules! And he has a superb collection of instruments.

Conan does indulge in far too much inane humor -but he's still easier to watch than Letterman (the single most baffling career in TV history).

But man, Against Me was terrible.

If I had a talk show like Conan's, I'd buy me some Replacement Hair from a hair surgeon like he has Image

Plus I would do like he does and get really cool new acts to play, deserving folks that would never get Top Farty airtime from a A&R rep-owned teen-structured radio format broadcaster community.

Do unto others as you would have them do unto you, and sit in with the band whenever you can, to keep your chops up!

And I logged on expecting something about Conan The Cimmerian.....I thought it was doubtful he'd be a 360 fan. Looks more like a Les Paul guy to me....Image

I think I read that he has a nice collection of vintage Gretsch guitars.

Noel, I too have heard that he is a huge Gretsch collector.

I've seen him on the show playing a Tele. I think he also uses a Martin acoustic for some bits.

When Springsteen was on the show a few years ago, Conan joined in on a nice cherry 335.

Saw a Rick in the Max Weinberg band last night! But I don't know my non-bass models well enough...Image

But it was Mapleglo.

In addition to Conan, Tom Hanks and Jorja Fox (Seidel on CSI) are both Ric fans. I've read that Hanks keeps a 360/12, not sure of the particulars, in his office. Fox has talked about having a vintage Ric in an interview that she plays. And as far as Conan still being funny, I know that I can still find laughs there when I can't on Leno, etc.
