Conan O'Brien: White Chocolate, Bacon Hair - Andy Richter: Bag of Soup, Mop

On last Wednesday's Tonight Show, Conan O'Brien displayed a special gift he had received -- a bust of himself, carved out of white chocolate, topped with bacon for hair.

Breathtaking!

Unfortunately, O'Brien said the gift was from the Minnesota State Fair. Not true. Actually, the unique creation came from No Name Premium Meats in Minnesota.

On Monday's Tonight Show, O'Brien gave No Name the credit it deserved.

Transcript

CONAN O'BRIEN: Last week... I want to mention this. We, the Tonight Show, we received an incredible gift, and this was discussed somewhat on our show. The No Name Premium Meats Company in St. Michael, Minnesota created a bust of my likeness carved from 300 pounds of white chocolate with bacon for hair. We showed it on the program.

(Clip)

O'BRIEN: (Pointing at the bust of himself) I've longed dreamed of this, but I never thought I'd see it happen.



(End clip)

O'BRIEN: It's gorgeous. So, and I liked it so much I put it on display in one of the statue niches right in front of our studio entrance. We put it on display right there. It's gorgeous.



O'BRIEN: The only problem...

(Applause)

Thank you. Yeah. Thanks for the delayed applause....

Anyway, the only problem... The only problem is we had a second niche in front of our studio that has remained empty. It's not symmetrical. It just doesn't look right, and it just doesn't look balanced.

So, this morning, this is the good news, we solved the problem. We received a gift from the Amalgamated Food Corporation of Bakersfield, California. They didn't have quite as much time to get their project together. You can tell it's a bit of a rush job. But check it out, folks. This is cool. It's a bust of Andy Richter.



(Applause and laughter)

O'BRIEN: It's made...yeah. It's made from a bag of soup and a dirty mop.

I'm glad that No Name did get recognition for the white chocolate, bacon hair bust.

Will that bit of publicity boost business for the company?

Who knows? It can't hurt.
