Conan Season 2013 Episode 146 Tony Danza's Incredibly Inaccurate Book About Feudal Japan

  • November 19, 2013

In this episode of Conan, the host Conan O'Brien welcomes actor Tony Danza to discuss his new book "Feudal Japan: A Beginner's Guide". However, things take an unexpected turn when it becomes clear that Danza's knowledge of Japanese history is extremely limited and his book is riddled with inaccuracies.

O'Brien tries his best to keep the conversation on track, but Danza's charmingly clueless personality shines through as he proudly shares his wildly erroneous claims about samurai warriors and geisha culture. At one point, he even suggests that he "basically invented karate" – much to the amusement of the audience.

Despite the cringe-worthy moments, O'Brien manages to keep the interview lighthearted and playful. He frequently interjects with sarcastic comments and exaggerated facial expressions, poking fun at Danza's absurd assertions while still showing him respect as a guest on the show.

As the interview winds down, Danza reluctantly admits that he may have overstepped his bounds with the book, but says he hopes it will still inspire readers to learn more about Japan. O'Brien concludes the segment with a witty quip, joking that he's more likely to consult Google than Danza's book for accurate information about the country.

The rest of the episode features a mix of comedy sketches and celebrity interviews, including a hilarious bit where O'Brien joins a group of senior citizens for a game of bingo. Throughout the episode, O'Brien's trademark wit and self-deprecating humor keep the audience entertained and engaged.

Overall, episode 146 of Conan is a fun, light-hearted installment that showcases both O'Brien's comedic talents and his ability to handle an unexpected situation with grace and humor. While Danza's book may be notoriously inaccurate, his appearance on the show provides plenty of laughs and entertainment for viewers.
