Conan O’Brien Needs A Friend

ANECDOTE

Floating Baby

Floating Baby

  • Conan tells a story of a made-up anecdote he told a reporter about his daughter being floated to him in a basket to avoid a goat attack.
  • The story, meant to be a joke, ends up published in Rolling Stone magazine, much to Conan's chagrin.
  • Conan expresses concern that his kids will one day read the article and he will have to explain it was made-up.

Conan's apprehension about his children discovering and questioning the fictional Rolling Stone article creates a humorous anecdote, highlighting the unexpected permanency of fabricated stories.
