Late Night with Conan O'Brien Season 9 Episode 4 Topher Grace, They May Be Giants

  • September 7, 2001

Topher Grace, best known for his roles in That '70s Show and Spider-Man 3, joins Conan O'Brien on the set of Late Night for season 9 episode 4. Grace discusses his transition from television to film and shares his experiences working with the likes of Sam Raimi and Steven Soderbergh.

In addition to Grace, the musical guests of the night are They Might Be Giants, who treat the audience to a lively performance of their hit song "Particle Man". The band also sits down with O'Brien to discuss their latest album and creative process.

As always, the episode's comedy sketches are both hilarious and unpredictable. O'Brien engages in a humorous debate with sidekick Andy Richter over the merits of getting a tattoo, and the two take turns pitching increasingly absurd tattoo designs to one another. The segment culminates in an unexpected surprise that leaves O'Brien and Richter in stitches.

Later in the episode, O'Brien delivers a parody of the classic children's show Sesame Street that is equal parts irreverent and side-splitting. Joined by his Elmo-like puppet sidekick, O'Brien lampoons the educational program and imagines what it might look like if it were aimed at adults instead of children.

Other highlights from the episode include a memorable performance by DJ Chris Lawrence, who creates an original remix of They Might Be Giants' music using only a children's toy keyboard. In another segment, O'Brien dons a ridiculous outfit and tries his hand at bartending, concocting a series of outlandish drinks that range from the absurdly sweet to the dangerously potent.

Overall, season 9 episode 4 of Late Night with Conan O'Brien is a hilarious, entertaining, and high-energy episode that showcases the host's trademark wit and irreverence. With a talented guest like Topher Grace, an energetic musical performance from They Might Be Giants, and a wide range of hilarious sketches and segments, this episode is sure to leave viewers laughing and wanting more.
