if there are any other Hunter fans out there, he's going to be on Conan O'brien tonight. last time he was on the show, Conan actually went to colorado to hunter's house to interview him. it was really funny. at one point they went outside and started blasting copies of his latest book away with a big ass shotgun. should be good
How was the interview? I'll have to catch the rerun tonight on Comedy Central. I'm reading his gonzo papers right now. I recently purchased vol.1-3 of them. I've read most of his other works. Finally getting to these.

The interview had to be cut short because the show also decided to have 2 other guests, only one of which was mildly interesting and the other shouldn't have even been on.
They showed some clips from the Conan and Hunter shooting show. Hunter made an ass of Conan when Conan stole a trick from Chris Farley's interview sketch on SNL and asked Hunter if he remembered when they went shooting. Hunter's respons: Yeah.
They didn't even get a chance to talk about his new book.
But Hunter did say he made the shoes he was wearing, which were actually just Nikes.
I was pissed because I stayed up that late just to see him and he was barely on. And the whole show Conan kept saying how great it was going to be because Hunter rarely makes television appearances. He's rarely on because he probably doesn't want to get stuck at the ass-end of shows and then barely get to talk.

yeah i was dissapointed. conan shouldn't have had that model on. Hunter was kinda drunk, but what do you expect. Conan really dropped the ball on this one
