Conan Season 2014 Episode 129 Neil Patrick Harris, Damian Lillard, Kiesza

Neil Patrick Harris, Damian Lillard, and Kiesza were the guests in season 2014: episode 129 of Conan, a late-night talk show hosted by comedian Conan O’Brien. The episode was aired on TBS on September 29, 2014, and was taped in Conan's studio in Burbank, California.

The episode began with Conan's classic monologue in which he jokes about various current events and shares witty remarks on pop culture. This was followed by the first guest of the night, Neil Patrick Harris, who had recently finished his acclaimed run in the Broadway musical, "Hedwig and the Angry Inch."

During Harris's interview, Conan talked with him about what it was like to play the role of Hedwig, his experiences hosting the Tony Awards, and his thoughts on the legacy of his hit TV show "How I Met Your Mother." Harris also discussed his new autobiography, "Choose Your Own Autobiography," which was published in October 2014.

Next up was Damian Lillard, an NBA player, who was named Rookie of the Year in 2013 and had just signed a contract extension with the Portland Trail Blazers. Conan and Lillard talked about Lillard’s journey from a small school in Oakland to becoming an NBA star.

Lillard also spoke about his off-season activities and his interest in hip hop music, revealing that he had released a rap album under the alias "Dame D.O.L.L.A." earlier that year. Conan even surprised Lillard by bringing out a giant poster of him rapping, which made Lillard briefly blush.

The final guest of the night was Kiesza, a Canadian singer-songwriter who had recently released her debut album "Sound of a Woman." Kiesza performed her hit single "Hideaway," which had been topping the charts around the world that summer.

After her performance, Kiesza joined Conan on the couch, where she talked about her background in dance and theater, the inspiration behind "Hideaway," and her experiences touring the world to promote her music.

In addition to the guests, the episode also featured a few comedy bits, including a segment in which Conan attempts to speak Spanish with some help from a language-learning app on his phone, and a "Clueless Gamer" segment featuring Conan and comedian Bill Hader playing the video game "Destiny."

Overall, the episode offered a mix of entertainment, humor, and engaging conversations with its diverse guests. It showcased Conan's talent for engaging with his guests, making them feel comfortable, and bringing out their unique stories and perspectives, which is a hallmark of the show.
