Conan Season 2014 Episode 20 The cast of "The Walking Dead", White Denim
- February 6, 2014
Conan O'Brien's late-night talk show Conan premiered in 2010 and has since amassed a large following due to its irreverent humor and variety of guests. In season 2014 episode 20, Conan welcomes the cast of the hit AMC series The Walking Dead, as well as musical guest White Denim.
The episode begins with Conan O'Brien's usual opening monologue, in which he jokes about current events and pop culture. He then introduces the cast of The Walking Dead, including Andrew Lincoln (who plays the show's protagonist, Rick Grimes), Norman Reedus (who plays fan favorite Daryl Dixon), Steven Yeun (who plays Glenn Rhee), and Lauren Cohan (who plays Maggie Greene). The cast members sit down with Conan to discuss the show's popularity and what it's like to work on a zombie-filled set. They tease the upcoming season and discuss what's in store for their characters.
In addition to the cast interview, the episode features a performance by the indie rock band White Denim. The Austin-based group plays two songs from their album Corsicana Lemonade: "At Night in Dreams" and "A Place to Start." Their high-energy performance gets the audience moving, and Conan joins in on the fun by playing air guitar.
Throughout the episode, Conan also interacts with his sidekick Andy Richter and his house band, Jimmy Vivino and the Basic Cable Band. Richter adds his trademark humor to the show, while Vivino and his band provide the musical accompaniment for White Denim. Conan also takes a few audience questions and plays a round of "Clueless Gamer," a recurring segment in which he reviews video games without knowing much about them.
Overall, season 2014 episode 20 of Conan is a fun and lively episode featuring the cast of The Walking Dead and a great musical performance by White Denim. Conan's usual mix of humor and offbeat charm is on full display, making for an entertaining hour of late-night television.
