Yeah, I read that he did apologize but they didn't return the money. I was like "apologize or return the money"
I remember when he was a mountie and was on the border... that scene I remember. It was so funny. But then again, I guess whole relationship between US/Canada is totally different than Conan's relationship with Finland.
And to insults, I think "Conan O'Brien hates my homeland" was great idea
Heh, he visited on talkshow tonite (kinda serious talk show) and he claimed that difference between Finns and others is that we actually can laugh at the stuff and to ourselves. But yeah, I'm not a person who takes those comments too seriously.
It was such a great interview. Guy who's show it was (Arto Nyberg) is a very serious man (tho can laugh at jokes, like he laughed at COB now and then) and Conan was making funny comments but whole convo was so serious. And it was strange to see Conan so calm.
The one thing Conan kept wondering is how well Arto could go from translating to next question. BEcause it was live interview, he had to translate into Finnish now and then so they talked a bit, Arto translated it and without a pause, he already went with a next question in English and Conan said "I'n American, no one could go that. GOing to next question from translating without a break... like blahblahblahblahba, so Conan, what....?"
He hadn't been swimming in frozen lake (or sea) today
he wasn't brave enough
He flies to Lapland tomorrow. Too bad I didn't get to Uni there, so I could have seen him (I live middle of the country so no hope to get south or north) I'd wished it would have been bit more cold while he was here
And now he missed terrible snowstorm in NYC
