Conan Season 2014 Episode 63 Eric Stonestreet, Rick Reilly, the Ghost of a Saber Tooth Tiger

In the 63rd episode of Conan's 2014 season, the renowned talk show was joined by a trio of guests: actor Eric Stonestreet, sportswriter Rick Reilly, and the musical act Ghost of a Saber Tooth Tiger.

The show began with Conan O'Brien's opening monologue, where he masterfully alternated between witty remarks and self-deprecating jokes, a staple of his comedic style. He then introduced his first guest, actor Eric Stonestreet, who joined him on the couch for a lively chat. Stonestreet is best known for his role as Cameron Tucker on the hit TV show Modern Family, which had just wrapped up its fifth season at the time.

Stonestreet and Conan exchanged banter about their respective heights (or lack thereof) and shared laughs over some of Stonestreet's on-set experiences, including sharing a fake kiss for a scene with co-star Jesse Tyler Ferguson. They also talked about the origin of Stonestreet's name, which apparently resulted from his father's love for the rock singer Eric Clapton.

Next up was Rick Reilly, a veteran sportswriter who has covered a wide variety of sports throughout his illustrious career. Reilly has written for numerous publications, including Sports Illustrated, ESPN, and The Denver Post. He also spoke about his upcoming book "Commander in Cheat," which offers an insider's perspective on President Donald Trump's unorthodox golfing habits.

Reilly and Conan discussed some of the wildest stories from Reilly's years as a journalist, including his coverage of the infamous Tonya Harding and Nancy Kerrigan scandal during the 1994 Winter Olympics. They also touched on some of the challenges facing sports journalism today, including the rise of social media and the impact it has on the industry.

Finally, musical duo Ghost of a Saber Tooth Tiger, fronted by Sean Lennon (son of John Lennon and Yoko Ono) and Charlotte Kemp Muhl, took the stage to perform a song from their latest album. Their unique blend of psychedelic rock and folk-infused alternative music was a hit with the lively audience.

As usual, the episode was full of memorable moments that highlighted each of the guests' individual talents and personalities. Conan's quick wit and ability to connect with his guests made for an enjoyable hour of entertainment that fans surely won't forget anytime soon.
