- November 11, 2014
The cast of "Sons of Anarchy" makes an appearance on this episode of Conan, bringing their tough guy personas to the stage while chatting about the final season of their hit show. Charlie Hunnam, Tommy Flanagan, and Jimmy Smits field revealing questions from host Conan O'Brien and share their experiences working on the show.
In addition to the "Sons of Anarchy" crew, Swedish folk duo First Aid Kit performs a few tunes, bringing an indie vibe to the late-night talk show setting. Sisters Johanna and Klara Söderberg harmonize beautifully as they strum their guitars, singing heartfelt lyrics that resonate with the audience.
The episode opens with Conan standing on stage as the crowd roars with applause. He greets viewers and begins to share a story about a bizarre encounter he had in a parking lot earlier that day. He then introduces his first guests, the cast of "Sons of Anarchy," who walk out to cheers from the audience.
Charlie Hunnam, who plays Jax Teller on the show, sports a leather jacket and smirks at the crowd as he takes his seat. Jimmy Smits, who joined the cast in later seasons, is dressed in a sharp suit and tie. Tommy Flanagan's rugged beard and tattoos add to his tough guy look.
Conan immediately cuts to the chase, asking the trio how they managed to keep their cool throughout the intense scenes on the show. Hunnam admits that he gets overwhelmed sometimes, but says that he just tries to stay in the moment and focus on his character's motivation. Flanagan chimes in, saying that the show's creator Kurt Sutter puts his actors through rigorous training to make sure they look and act the part.
The conversation turns to the final season of the show, and the cast shares their thoughts on saying goodbye to their beloved characters. Smits reflects on how working on "Sons of Anarchy" has been a journey for him, and how his character's storyline has evolved over time. Hunnam, in typical laid-back fashion, says he's sad to see the show end but that he's excited to tackle new projects.
Conan then brings up a clip from a recent episode in which Hunnam's character Jax goes on a violent rampage. The audience watches in awe as Jax wields a rifle, shooting at his enemies with reckless abandon. Hunnam jokes that it's a little embarrassing to see himself on screen, but adds that it's part of the job.
The conversation comes to a close, and Conan thanks the "Sons of Anarchy" cast for coming on the show. He then introduces the night's musical guests, First Aid Kit. The camera pans to the sisters as they take the stage, introducing themselves and playing a few opening chords.
The duo launches into a haunting rendition of their song "My Silver Lining," harmonizing beautifully as they strum their acoustic guitars. The audience sways along, caught up in the sisters' ethereal sound. After a round of applause, Conan chats with the women about their music and how they got their start in the industry.
First Aid Kit then performs their song "Waitress Song," a melancholy tune with lyrics that paint a picture of heartbreak and lost love. The sisters' voices blend together seamlessly, creating a haunting melody that leaves the audience entranced.
As the show draws to a close, Conan thanks First Aid Kit for their performance and tells the audience to tune in next time for more fun and games. He then signs off, leaving his fans with a sense of excitement and anticipation for the next episode.
