Show Notes
Actor Paul Rudd feels right chuffed about being Conan O’Brien’s friend.
Paul sits down with Conan once more to discuss his father’s obsession with the Titanic, playing low-authority goofballs in Anchorman and Forgetting Sarah Marshall, and teaming up with Jack Black in his latest film Anaconda. Later, Conan tries to remember if he was ever on Star Search.
