Hey! What's the haps?!
San FrancisConan Week continues here in the beautiful city by the bay as we hit our "Hump Day" show! Can you believe that this week is already half over?! I cannot. It feels like I've been here forever. In a good way, yo. In a good way.
The madness is spreading after George Lucas' appearance on our show yesterday! For those of you sinners who didn't see the show, we did a bit where our resident Star Wars Expert (and Associate Producer) Jordan Schlansky came out during Lucas' segment and tried to stump him with an obscure Star Wars trivia question... George nails the answer, and then Jordan is nailed with the "Ass" stamp. Great, right? Well we had no idea how great this would actually turn out!
See, the question that Jordan asked involved a character from the first film (the guy who gets strangled by Vader) whose full name was never mentioned in the actual movie. In fact, he's only referred to in the credits, where he is listed as "Admiral Motti". Jordan asked Lucas Admiral Motti's full name, to which Lucas replied (as a joke), "Conan Antonio Motti". No big deal, right?
Wrong.
See, because Lucas is the supreme creator of the Star Wars universe, when he says something it becomes real. Oh yeah. I think you hear what I'm saying, party people: There is now officially a Star Wars character named after Conan!! HOW AWECELLET IS THAT?! The Star Wars wiki Wookieepedia has already incorporated the change into the Star Wars Mythology! Man! This week couldn't get any better!
All right, I gotta run because a bunch of us are going to the Giants game tonight, and then I hear there's a little poker game going on in the hotel lobby! Sweet! I LOVE TAKING MONEY FROM FOOLS. Wish me luck y'all!
