Late Night UNDERGROUND

Dear Aaron

SOUNDS COMPLICATED?

Who better to ad lib with than a Radio DJ? I think you should have a host of DJ's from all over the country on your show to goof off with. Can I go first? lol ;) Doreen, On Air host of Nite Mix - Mix 107.7 fm. Dayton, Ohio

how bout', Conan wears a cape next time. You know, like a super hero. He's got the smoke, the awesome band music. He's missin' a cape fo' sho.

Conan should wear a cape.

Definately a cape. also i feel like he should be wearing an outfit similar to that of Evil Keneval. just a thought...

how about a pool at the end?

I think there should be a fight with a wild animal/Chuck Norris in there. Or possibly some showgirls for a big finish. Or throw in the Evil Puppy.

Evil Puppy > Everything.

Wear a viking helmet, and the german disko lights.

Conan should zip down the line in a Spiderman suit.

shirtlessness! excitement for the masses, i tell you. pure excitement.

Conan should wear a camera while doing it. Also, he should break through foam walls which are representative of his fears. LEVELS, PEOPLE.

Do it with Amy Sedaris as a Cheerleader! Then have her do it!

Put a gator tank below the zip-line.

He should zip line in the nude, or while giving a piggy back ride to Max while on fire.

The zipline has to be done at the same time as a German light show. That would be the best.

> A pit of animals.
> Conan has a paintball gun, desk has some targets.
> Zip line + Laser light show.
> Zip line over Max and crew.
> Zip line over anything, really.

Strip into a Tarzan style loincloth before swinging from the top!

***ZIP LINE + LIGHT SHOW = AMAZING!*** Wear a glow in the dark body suit or do something with a blacklight.

You should do the Zipline while having a German Lightshow

Conan should ride the zip line through a wall of steaks.

i think you should do the zip line in either a diaper or with a flag attached to your back in support or the writer's strike...or both. OR have that sexy manatee go down the line ...or all 3 lol

Two words:

Masturbating Bear!!!!

There is absolutely no reason Conan should not be going through a fake brick wall on the way down. I'm just saying...

Zipline through rings of fire into some interlinking sausages.

How about put some alligators on the floor and zip over them. Keep your feet up!

Zipline ideas:

1) Have Conan land in something cool, like jello, stuffed animals, a pool of slime, or a minty blue foam.

2) Have villians chase Conan on other ziplines. Weapons should be involved, too.

Remember, you will be making a young girl's dreams if either of these suggestions are used. =D

you should totally put something on the handle bars like sparkelers or something....

Conan should wear a spandex onesie with thousands of flashing l.e.d.'s that can be programed for like amazing light shows, with sunglasses that also light up and flash

Got to have some pyrotechnics!
Not a show without them!

Wear giant, bright colored fuzzy monster slippers of some sort.

wear a gorilla suit

Two words- alligator pit.

I suggest Conan do a two-man zip line. Put him in one of those two-man suits that instructors and students wear for sky-diving, and have Conan's passenger be a mini-Conan. And have them crash through Max Weinberg and the Max Weinberg 7.

Perhaps a sexy midget version of conan in a cape would work. The smaller person would probably slide sown the zip line at a much higher rate. Or perhaps conan could crash into a giant pool of pudding. Everyone likes pudding.

I think Conan should zipline through a pyramid of little people.

how about conan does the zip line while the light show plays with some techno music instead and crash through a wal of corn cans

Conan! I think you should be a leprechaun (again).... ha ha. Please... dress Conan like a leprechaun and have him hit a pot of gold at the end.

Crash into the masturbating bear.

Wear a speedo. And strap a newborn baby to your back. And when you reach the end, dropkick Abe Vigoda in the face.

There should be a collection of cardboard cutouts of Hollywood tough guys at the end of the zip line for Conan to barrel through.

Also why doesn't the audience have streamers and such to wave while Conan's going down the zipline.

Let's see Conan lie horizontally, face-down, on TWO bars. It might have to go all the way past the desk to the music stage, but it might be worth it!

Ok my dear. I think the Horny manatee sort of S & M thing. Like swingin' horny manatee. Or the masturbating bear goes down and crashes through a giant photo of Joel naked or lightly clad. Give Max my condolences, and Letterman shaved his beard...bastard.

Maybe dressed up as a ninja with crazy music to go with it.

You've gotta do the zipline to the German disco.

Mic Conan doing the demonic "hahaha!" stuff.

DO IT!

SPARKLERS! A whole bunch of those little fireworks sparklers could be mounted near the stage somewhere, and be set to go off as you wiz past them.

You might have to use some kind of glass shield or something though, but it would still look cool.

And landing on the desk.

And crash through a giant pie.

Have you seen the Japanese Jack Bauer song, by any chance? Seems like the kind of thing you'd find hillarious.

http://www.japanprobe.com/?p=2576

handle bar tassels and if u wear a cape u should break through a fake brick wall....or a karate costume and half way through break a plank of wood (fake or real)

I'm thinking a landing in a vat of something...

Mandarin Orange Jello Salad perhaps?

Dare I suggest we ramp up the speed a tad?

I think Conan should travel about 30 mph down that line. It was too slow. And, I think the line should land closer to the desk.

And, maybe wear a costume.

At the bottom of your zipline there should be a brick wall for Conan to break through. If a real brick wall is too difficult to break through, perhaps a fake one.

Conan on zip line with the german disco light show at the same time

Masturbating bear on the zip line

Do the zip line hanging upside-down by your feet. That's good TV :)

I was going to say a cape, Conan should wear a cape.... , but now since he wants to crash through something - he should obviously crash thorugh a brick wall and shout "Oh yeah!"

Chuck Norris

you need to put on a cheesy fake flame (the ones made of red yellow and orange cloth and are blown) and then put on a red police light on your helmet

Wear giant, bright colored fuzzy monster slippers of some sort. Or, dress up as Larry King and have Max catch you.

Conan,
I've worked in the high ropes industry for a few years now, so I speak of ziplines with some professional experience... You should definitely kick a bear through a plate glass window at the end of the zipline. This bear flying through the glass should be accompanied by explosions and fireworks and the song "Don't Stop Believing" by Journey.

Land in a vat of something. Perhaps chocolate syrup?

Light that thing on fire and have Conan crash through a minty foam!

he should wear a glow in the dark man-thong.... then turn out all the nights

Conan should tie a turkey leg around his neck and have a hobo chase him as he zips over the audience or he needs the cape idea but he needs to crash through a giant cutout of Labamba.

Let's see Conan lie horizontally, face-down, on TWO bars. Keep the "smoke helmet" and the jet noise, and it might bear some serious fruit. The line might have to go all the way past the desk to the music stage, but it might be worth it!

i think you should dress up as your carecter from pale force and go down the zipline

it will be probably the funniest thing i ever saw in my life

Conan should crash through a giant wall of Legos (or if you must, small plastic interlocking building pieces). Or a brick wall made out of those crappy fake bricks everybody played with as children. Or he could dismount onto a trampoline. Also, I think the guy pulling the rope in the background should wear a funny outfit and/or hat.

I think Conan needs to be suspended on it like superman, or it needs to be able to spin, or BOTH!

also, throw a monkey in the mix

Maybe dressed up as a ninja with crazy music to go with it.

Conan goes down the zip-line with Max.

That's good stuff.

You should definitely do the zipline during the German Disco Lights!

you should totally go through a ring of fire or at least over a barrel of fire. You deffinately need fire. and you should crash through a blown up picture of Martha Stewart

Dear Mr. Conan O'Brien,
I believe a good idea for the show would be to invite me & a few fellow IUP students out to play a few friendly fun games. We have Macho Mug, Power Hour & many more.. Of course it would be kept completely appropriate!

He should have a stuffed monkey on his back.

Conan should mix the german light show with conans zip line.

greetings

keep up with the light show!!

I think Conan should put streamers on the end of the zipline's hand bars and should fly over homeless people being chased by the masturbating bear.

I think that you should vaseline/vegetable oil the line up so that you go really fast and then crash through boxes with a bullseye on stage while wearig a spandex outfit with a cape

I think you should dress up as a writer, and zip over people dressed up as the big TV execs. lol make up some kind of superhero name for it! haha it would be in support of the writers, so it wouldn' infringe on their strike, and it would be so funny! haha AWESOME! Love the show, been watching since I was little. Keep up the FANTASTIC work!

German laser disco show with lasers coming off of the helmet...and to top it all off: Conan laughing madly with that nice echo microphone feature!!

Evil puppy at the end wearing a cape have a stare down while your zipping to the bottem and conan in some form of a superhero costume

I think Conan should sell his beard on ebay and give the money to a manatee charity. Anyway... Conan should ride the zipcord DURIND the german lazer show, wearing a Ziggy Stardust-esque glam rock jumpsuit. Perhaps to "Highway to the Danger Zone".

Conan should wear two falconeer gloves and when he lands two huge falcons should fly down and land on his arms as small explosives go off on the side of the stage.

I think we should combine some great ideas. Go down the zip line wearing a red speedo while a bad German light show takes place.

Have everyone in the audience hold sparklers amd have bike streamers on the bar you hold on too.

You should put on the German Disco lights with a huge cape and a spiked helmet. The awesome part is that you'll be covered in blinking Christmas lights with the "I'm too sexy" song in the background.

Oh, and when you land, fireworks will go off and you will strike the "American Hero" pose.

Blow the audience away and do it in a diaper with an explosion of gas to give you the added boost!!!

Conan should dress up as a super hero. Specifically, Beard Man. It'd be a kickass red and white suit with Conan's Beard in the middle. In addition, the smoke helmet would be outfitted with a sleek black visor. At the base of the stairs that he jumps over, would be a pool of water, in which would be a huge wall of jello for him to crash through. It would be truly fantastical.

Do the zip line, during the German disco light show, wearing a cape (it is good cape weather!) with the smoke helmet with the music of Aqua - Barbie Girl.

I Wish They Would Add To The Zip Line.. Like Make It Go Out Side Some How !

Let Max Weinberg Zip Line!!!

Combine Bad German Light Show WITH Bad Conan Zip Line :)

Best way to improve zip line: HAVE HELEN MIRREN DO IT!

Upon reaching the end of the zip-line, you fly straight into the chest of a bear, knocking him over. Several more bears will attack bearing baguettes as weaponry. Max will toss you two hickory farms sausages, and you will fight them back, finally retiring to your desk. All the while this song plays in the background:

(Wailing Sirens by Sawtooth)

HAVE A GERMAN LIGHT SHOW WITH A SPOTLIGHT ON CONAN AS HE ZIPS DOWN THE LINE.

I would like to see conan put some meat or bones with dogs chasing him down the zip line, or at least going over a pen full of dogs, not small dogs big hungry dogs and then landing in something soft. I picture a bunch of cotton balls.

The only logical next step is, as others have mentioned, to combine the zip line and the German light show.

Hey Conan! I think the zipline was great...but wouldn't it be even more amazing if you had to fly through sausage, cheese, and bologna tied from the ceiling?! That would really make for a hoot!

Connan,
I think to make this zip line much more magical you should wear the helmet with sparklers on it and bust through the "Great Wall of China" while the Flight of the Valcories plays in the background.

German music disco lightshow music playing (obviously!)

Conan should go down the zip line through minty foam, and after landing he should have a dramatic death stare with Max.

Hello Conan,

My husband and I are your biggest fans we would like to see you with the light show in a skin tight motorcycle suit with flames, with the helmet of smoke and then flying through the crowd with a big dance of your own at the end, I think it is completely something you would do and we would love to see it!!

You biggest fans Michelle and Davion Williams

Conan should dress up in a Big Bird costume and ride down. Either that or take Bob Saget or Abe Vigoda with him. :D

Conan ziplines while larry king does color commentary.

Max needs to play a flaming drum set, and you (Conan) should be replaced with that cheerleader you had on the show a while ago.

Conan should zipline over the Masterbating bear.

When Conan starts to ride down the zip line, Rocketman (compliments of Elton John) should be playing in the background. Kudos if he can slide down it in slo-mo.

I have thought about this, and I think Conan should zipline while there is a huge spotlight on him and the studio is pitch black around him and he should either crash through a plate glass window or have Labamba stand there so he can knock him over into the couch while the Superman theme plays by Max and the band.

conan, you should hang upside down by hanging from your legs on the bar... since you're not paying for writers, fly me out and i'll do it and show you how it's done.
if that fails, have vomiting kermit go down the zip line. easy

I believe Conan should zip line over or through some cactus (cacti?). Fake or real, it doesnt matter but it would add danger and excitement :)

Conan should hang upside down by his knees and eat bacon while he zips down to Home Base.

I definitely think Conan should let the masturbating bear zip down onto the stage....
either that or have Conan and the Masturbating Bear simultaneously zip down both sides of the studio....while wearing smoke helmets.

i think conan should hang by his feet from the zip line. Also at the end he should have gigantic bowlin pins and see how man he can knock over

I think conan should have a tarzan loin cloth on as he glides down the rope

GREAT IDEA

I think he should dress like a clown with that circus theme and he should hit a wall of clown shoes. It'd be cute!

Into a tub of minty foam.

Try to get Chuck Norris on the show and do the zip line! He could also be a guest and talk about the Huckabee Campaign. If that cant happen, then Conan can dress up as Walker Texas Ranger (he has the beard)and ride the zip line like the clip from Walker. Remember the clip?

Place the Max Weinberg 7 in the path of the zip line and have Conan fight them off as he goes down.

First of all.....nix the guys on the wires -- if you're going to zipline it......FREE FALL!

Second...have a wall of jello as your crash zone

Third -- have a couple of the American Gladiators give you a "push"

Blow the audience away and do it in a "manpoon" (diaper) with an explosion of "gas" to give him that added boost!!!

You should have the light show going on while the zip line is in motion. Obviously a spot light will be on Conan. A cape would be good too.

Conan, German disco light show, into the zip line, try to do it with slow motion effects, then at the end some sort of chuck Norris clip or random clip.

Conan,
Def have to have a cape, good call by those people. But some sort of wings would be cool too, like coming off the arms. The best would be to get Max to zip line to his drum set! Or get guests to enter that way, in fact have them all enter that way if they want to be on the show!
Thanks, Kevin

Conan should dress like the macho man randy savage (since he has that beard these days) and snap into a slim jim when he lands. Or he could dress like the ultimate warrior with those silly bicycle streamers on his arms. Play wrestling music while he does it.

Hey Late Nite crew,

OK, my Conan Zip Line suggestion would be for him to zip through some rings (like hula hoops) and over a pool (filled with whatever you like. water is popular). The big finish: crash through a giant set of bowling pins.

undeniably, the only way to prove your manhood would require you to land into a kiddy pool full of jello. what's more manly than a kiddy pool full of jello? just picture michael bay's pearl harbor pumped up on steriods and red bull...you get the picture.

Conan's gotta go hang-glider style with his whole body parallel to the ground.

Conan should zip line with a man purse.

Cape, schmape. Conan should don early 17th century garb to simulate the defenestration of Prague.

Am I a scab for writing this?

Conan should hang upside down by his knees and eat bacon while he zips down to Home Base.

Conan should be in a Tarzan type outfit and rescue a damsel in distress at the end of the zip line.

My computer is really slow but here it goes.... CONAN NEEDS TO DO IT NAKED!!!! FO SHO!!.... with love...two crazy college girls at in Minnesota(UMD BIOTCHES!!)

Just a thought, but he def. needs to be dressed up as Pale Force guy, complete with cape and fly into terribly done robots. He should then gurnied out.

Cheers

Conan should ride the zip line with the Bee Gee's "How Deep Is Your Love" playing in the backround. After the landing, conan can give the camera a nice big thumbs up!

CONAN! Wear a skimask under the helmet, get a cape, have your tech (yeah you can see them in the background) wear space costumes, and DO THE ORIGINAL GERMAN DISCO all while going down the zip line.

Also, have audience members throw pies at your face while you go down.

Have a giant boulder roll down the steps after you.

When you hit the ground, get your guitar and shred with the Max Weinberg 7 backing you up (keep the pie frosting on your face for cool-ness factor).

It shall be epic.

Blow the audience away and do it in a "manpoon" (diaper) with an explosion of "gas" to give him that added boost!!!

Conan should be hanging by a rope that is about to break on a zipline that is suspended 50 feet above a hard concrete floor. He also needs to be blindfolded so he can't avoid the brick wall (that is somehow on fire) he has to crash through when he lands on his desk that is covered with steak knives glued perpendicular to its surface.

fireworks...if anyone can pull it off, you can!!

he should have it attached to his waist(so he can fly like superman), wear a cape and do it during the german light show

should have the masterbating bear ride the zip line

Wear some really awesome goggles. Fly over some roman candles and then light them, that would be flippin' sweet. Plus that totally trumps your normal entrance to the show, I say the zip-line should start her off!

I say find a "little person" who resembles conan and put him on the zipline and let it rip

Definitely combine the German disco and the zipline. Also you should invite all the old characters back and have a returning party for all the old characters (ex. Masterbating Bear) at the end of the strike and let all the characters come down the zipline while the German Disco MC introduces them. Hiring me to write for your show.

Conan should swoop in on the set to save a damsel in distress, possibly dressed like a musketeer. Sparklers can be going off as he flys down the zipline for more effect and he bust through a wall, have a quick sword fight with sound effects and saves her.

I want conan to land on a slip n slide runway watered down by hot bikini girls

maybe there can be a green screen in the background so it looks like him doin something in a movie

Conan should wear a loincloth while riding the zipline and then have children throw a mixture of marshmallows and jellybeans at him when he lands.

definetly a cape, GERMAN DISCO LIGHTS A MUST.... and end in a something....and POOF out of it. like a magician lol.... also hanging upside down then doing a flip off of it.

Light the line on fire before going down the line! Then have someone hit conan with a bucket of water when he comes to a stop!

Lino from NJ

Definitely a Cape, and maybe some type of Uniform. Not anything too crazy, but like a chest plate with a Giant "C" on it. And maybe he can knock over either bowling pins, or Styrofoam baddies

Or maybe he can Zipline all the way behind his desk!

I think Conan should sport a speedo and bathing cap and zip into a kiddie wading pool.

Hang upside down backwards on the zip line while the final countdown is playing in the backround.

haha Conan should fly down in a superman like position definitely wearing a cape or he should dress up like tarzan and have max weinberg play tarzan music!! HELLARIOUS!! i could only picture it but ide love to see it!! lolol

Send LaBamba, Max, or Joel down the zipline!!

Conan should be wearing a Boba Fett suit and he should zip line over a pool of velociraptors!

Conan should wear the irish flag as a cape and wear a leprechaun outfit and have a pot of gold at the end of the zipline

When Conan starts to ride down the zip line, Rocketman (compliments of Elton John) should be playing in the background. Kudos if he can slide down it in slo-mo.

basically i think that conan should be wearing a spedo and like dress socks and his like idk dress shoes.with the cape, maybe somone should pretend to set him on fire hense the smoking like helmet thing. and some other realli cool things.
ohh and like max and them should be playing some sort of tropical music to go along with the speedo. hehe thanks.
xoxo
-sammie

your suit should tear away revealing a superman outfit including a cape, and you should get a helmet cam, and you should break through something, like a wall or a window or something cool

Conan should go down the zipline with Vomiting Kermit the Frog.

PUT SOME OF THESE IDEAS ON PAPER AND READ THEM ALOUD!!! HAHA!

Don't go with German light show!
Keep the helmet and add strobe lights. Smoke is always cooler with strobe lights.
Oh...and the cape idea was good too.

You should have the light show going while zipping over the audience.

Go here for diagram

http://stevenpolley.com/conan.jpg

(I'm uploading now, if it's a broken link)

I got it! Keep the smoke helm, add a cape, zip line into a set of giant bowling pins!

i think Conan should wear a Velcro suit and at the end of the zip line he should slam into and get stick to a Velcro wall. Pretty interesting and random stuff huh?

I think the best idea for this smoke helmet is for Conan to walk off stage after telling the audience he needs to go fetch something and re-appear riding a pony or other small creature while wearing the helmet. simple and humorous. to me anyway. or perhaps this could be done after a commercial break and a native american costume could be incorporated.

He should wear a cape, a suit with flame designs, a helmet like the one he wore but more like a rocket, while going down the line confetti should be flying out of his outfit, and at the end of the line he should run into a huge box of minty foam that'll fly all over the place once knocked down.

Wear silver spandex and and jump into a mob of angry robots.

Have two zip lines going in opposite directions. Put them close enough for both Connan and Max to zip close enough to joust with each other. Then have them go at it.

alright here's the deal, Conan needs to zipline through huge pieces of paper as he goes down the stairs with the faces of his guests for that night's show on them, and then smash into a pile of sugar glass or whatever that breakable glass is onto the stage. he should also fly me out there to test it :). Conan is my boy.

CONAN GLADIATORS!!!!

ahahha you heard it hear first

you can also have someone challenge conna at the ring spin, the challenger to be decided by qualifiers and small competitions in new york.

you can also have conan try different sports, he such a weak punk it would be funny

you can also have him jump on a trampolene ( if thats spelled incorectly i'm sorry)

now as we continue get conan one of thos huge evil people chairs, and have him rotate the chair and have him stroking a cat with mambo face on it ( the guy who has no hair, fat and attempts to be funny and like the looser he is plays the trumbone)

for more ideas please reach me

Let's kick this up a notch. Start with some good ideas like the cape so Conan in a red cape and either a blue speedo or the metal underwear sting wears in dune. He should crash through a wall of foam cheese heads. Instead of a landing there is a splashdown into a kids pool or some small thing of water so that he is wet. Then he should roll around in flower. :) I'm a bit demented.

your suit should tear away revealing a superman outfit including a cape, and you should get a helmet cam, and you should break through something, like a wall or a window or something cool

Conan should hang upside down by his knees and eat bacon while he zips down to Home Base.

I think Conan should wear a Disco Ball style jacket, shiny mirror lens goggles and he should race the "shrieking raccoon wearing a jetpack" who zips down on an adjacent line. Their respective smokes should be different colors too. The Shrieking raccoon should wear a tuxedo, a la a James Bond type secret agent and Conan should chomp a cigar to which, at the end of the race, he should deliver and "Ahnuld" style one liner. There you have it. Pure comic gold.

P.S. I am not a scab and I support the striking writers.

On the Monday show, Conan mentioned that one of the methods he was thinking of to improve the zipline was to end it by riding through a picture.

Conan should end the zipline ride by smashing through a large picture of Brian Williams.

first of all im canadian but it would be hilarious if you dressed in a leather gimp suit and while an italian oprah singer sang oprah and crashed into a giant teletubby doll lmao

I think that it would be good eye candy and add excitment to this whole thing if there were either vegas show girls dancing and/or special late night cheerlearders

i think you should zipline down in your pale force outfit and it should be dark and have a spot light on you

Kick La Bamba in the chest at the end. Chuck Norris style.

fireworks...if anyone can pull it off, you can!!

Definitely do it while have a German disco light show. You should bring Quakers out just for the fun of it

I would like to Conan to drink hard alcohol on the air and just see what happens. I am sure it would be fun for him and the band to drink and just ramble dumb shit. This would be fun for all, I think this would be a great way to fill time during the strike.

Hey Conan should definatley have a German Disco light show with a cape and glow stick colored suit. Also the band should play superhero-esque music.

Or Conan should have a gun that shoot the infamous MINTY FOAM into the audience!

Speaking of the MINTY FOAM i want Conan to back up his words and actually do it..hes all talk i challenge him to actually back up his threats of using FOAM attacks on the audience.

Send a tv set down with Smigel on it!

Conan should wear a suit of velcro. While zipping down to his desk, the audience can throw velcro balls at him and however many he has stuck on him when he gets to his desk, he has to do that many push-ups, or whatever.

Put a piece of plywood over the stairs and go down it on rollerskates.

do it blindfolded and don't tell Conan what he's landing in.
then make him guess.

2 words Tarzan Costume

I don't see anything unusual in an Irishman smoking. What about dropping into a trampoline to execute a triple somersault which ends with you (Conan) landing in your desk chair (or couch if you the lawyers won't agree).

Background music: ride of the Valkyries

Have Conan go down the zipline as if he is chasing Max Weinberg for insulting conan about having ducks on his show (Conan has a sword and a cape while max is dressed as a baby)

When Conan starts to ride down the zip line, Rocketman (compliments of Elton John) should be playing in the background. Kudos if he can slide down it in slo-mo.

conan you can were a evilcanevil suit and have sparks coming off the line as u zip down like peices of flint sparking off the wire as u go down and you can land in a huge plush version of ur desk and then u do the conan hop

First off, Conan should wear a blue satin cape - or the pale force costume...

secondly, the audience should be armed with ping-pong ball guns or marshmallow guns...

thirdly, it should all be done under a black light - that should make the ping-pong balls, smoking helmet, etc show up really well...

I think Conan should be throwing monopoly money at the audience will he glides downward. Why monopoly money? because the show is too cheap to use real money!

Set up the zip line on the other side of the studio, and zip over top Max and the Max Weinberg 7.

Conan should zip line down to the stage where a man in a Godzilla or monster costume is ransacking a small city. Then Conan fends off the monster.

I think that you should make Max and La Bamba duke it out with huge boxing gloves...Say if La Bamba wins then you introduce the band after your monologue like "La Bamba and the La Bamba seven..La Bamba" If max wins then La Bamba should were a tutu of some sort....Just an idea you know.. just throwing it out there.....

Conan should be chased by little jay leno while he goes down the zip line. Little jay leno should be wielding a spear.

Conan should ride the zipline while wearing the Smoke Helmet and an inflatable sumo outfit. At the end of the line, he should smash through a giant paper poster of Diff'rent Strokes' Conrad Bain.

YOu should do in the year 2000 skit on the zip line! and also it should be the new invention of how to cross the American Border From Tijuana.. lol

Have Horny Manatee ride down and crash into Pender

Conan should zip down the line wearing a black top hat and monocle with an evil, sneeering laugh. Perfect.

cape, spandex suit, sparkling platform shoes into giant bowl of spaghetti

Place a Velcro bullseye platform somewhere on the stage and have Conan dressed in a Velcro suit. Have him attempt to land in the bullseye all while Masturbating bear stands on the desk and urges Conan for success!

I agree with the dinosaurs! They should be big sponge ones (like the ones that come in capsuls that you soak in water and they grow- only bigger!)
and i think Conan should be drinking from a juice box somehow affixed to a hat, and giant balloons should be thrown at him from the audience

I’d like to see Conan ride down the zip line wearing not only the smoking helmet, but a cape. Also, as he passes through the audience, confetti should drop from the areas that he passes, and when he lands on stage large tubes should shoot confetti out towards the audience. To further add to the excitement, something is sitting in Conan’s desk, like a man in an ant suit or maybe mr met. Conan then fights the person in the suit for control over his show.

Race random things to the bottom. Animals, objects whatever. But you can put a smoke helmet on a dog and race it to the bottom. Actually, you should also get some smoking shoes. Or get a trampoline for your landing and attempt to bounce off that and land on the chair (watch out for dog in helmet).

Conan zips down the line while the German disco light show is going on.

i think that you should wear a jumpsuit of the united states flag and possibly a little more smoke and some hot girls would probably do the trick.

Conan is a pale, pale man. He should, therefore, cover himself in bronzer and smash through a wall of swiss cheese. Why swiss? Why cheese? Well, it's never been done, for one. And further, if Conan tears through a swiss cheese barricade he will go down in history as the best late-night talk show host... ever.

Let the audience pelt Conan with rocks.

Keep everything as is, except add the German disco lights and put Conan in a crazy suit with blinking/flashing lights. It will redefine television.

Have 2 zip lines going in opposite directions and a zip line joust between Conan and Max and make sure the disco lights are going.

I think that Conan should wear a shirt promoting a web site called www.iamnotshavingtillConandoes.com Cause I told my boss iam not shaving till Conan does and he thought it was hilarious. That or Conan and the masturbating bear go down together.

Conan needs to ride helga from the gladiators piggy back style down the zipline

1. HAVE THE MASTERBATING BEAR DO IT!
2. HAVE JOEL DO IT NAKED AND LAND THROUGH A BLOWN UP PICTURE OF HIS CHINESE MAN SLUT ONLY TO FIND MAX BEHIND THE PICTURE WAITING EAGERLY IN HIS UNDERWEAR

Ok Conan needs to not be lowered so gently to the ground. Like he said he's not a glass China doll. Maybe he could have sparks fly out of his shoes (like you see in the movies).

You should have masturbating bear zip down the zipline. Of course while doing his thing, wink wink, if that is possible...:) It would be pretty funny and cheap to add some wings on his back too.

I think the horny manatee should embrace him at the stage when he lands.

I think conan should wear a baseball costume (literally a baseball) and La Bamba can stand at the end and catch him in a huge baseball glove. Or if you can get some baseball player to hit Conan with a bat at the end. DO IT CONAN!!!!

idea 1:
conan needs to get in a mothra costume and there needs to be a set up of a city that he can destroy as he flies into the stage.
the city should be made from foam.
idea 2:
get a fighter jet cut-out and put it around his waist, then he can fly in on some terrorists and there should be gun noises.
that was a horrible run-on sentence.

How bout bringing the America Gladiators to the show to combat you as you ride down? My favorite is wolf. Conan can of course dominate him.

I think you should have a giant ballsack hanging down that hits people in the head as he zips down. That would be hilarious.....

Conan should go to zip down the line and come to realize he's been replaced by Bob Saget (who is sitting behind the desk), because Conan's been spending so much time going down the zip line. (It could either be Bob Saget, or someone else who makes frequent appearances on Late Night)

PS: The zip line just brings the show to a whole other level that other talk shows haven't reached. Right on

you should do the show in a bikini with a duck tube around you.

I think that Conan should be wearing a bright red cape with "Big Cone Dawg!!" written on the back, above the cartoon character of him sporting a beard. In addition, he should obviously be going faster instead of gently being lowered and doing all this in the biggest badass persona he can muster. When he comes to "Ol Bessy Lou" he should be greeted by Quakers and/or the FedEx Pope if possible. If not, substitute for some hot female models.

Conan should don the Birthday Leprechaun costume while ziplining into the warm embrace of the masturbating bear.

Confetti is always a win.

i think you should wear goggles and have a trampoline for when you land...much cooler than getting lowered down..and then let me try because im coming to your show thursdayy !!

OK---I'm thinking there's gotta be some obstacle, you know? Like an American Gladiator...

And you land in something---not necessarily messy---like the rubber balls at Chucky Cheese...

Or better yet, the zip line takes you past your desk and you crash through the New York City back thing.

Beyond that, the most important part of all is that you are attired in a kind of glitter suit.

Also, bowling pins...you could crash into, Lebowski style.

Good luck...

You know, after a week or so of ziplining, I think you should ramp the stairs and put in a slip-n-slide.

With a jump.

A flaming jump.

Combine the zip line with the American Gladiators! Conan can crash through them and obstacles similar to those on the "Gladiator" show on his way down or there can be some "Gladiator" event at the bottom with them in it. (Be sure to include Max, too!)

conan should be dressed in a khaki safari outfit with the pif helmet. he should zipline over a kiddie pool with alligators in it. he should land in the arms of a guy in a bigfoot costume or frankenstein who will carry him to his desk. i really want you to use this idea.

Conan, it's the new year. everyone is trying to get into shape and i think yuo should be a huge cucumber and slide down and flop into a big bowl of salad. Then when guests come on they can bring something to put into the bowl and everyone could watcht the bowl grow and grow and everytime you do it, you could be a different kind of salad topping!! Yeeeaaaaa salad!!!

Have Conan start the show off in a body harness on the zipline dressed as superman in the year 3000!

I think Conan should go down the zip line wearing a santa clause outfit, and crash through a life size fireplace made out of lego's with AC/DC's highway to hell playing in the background!!

Conan, you should have the creepy Cheney video watching you go down the zipline while wearing a cape. Hahaha

Conan should go down the Zip line underblacklights. He should have to freakishly whiten his teeth and wear a cape that will glow under the light. To top off the look he should have glow in the dark paint in his beard so when the lights go off and the black lights come on we all get a hillarious surprise!

Place Conan in a Harness so he can fly face-first and wear a superhero costume (ie pale force) and you must include a tinted black bubble-screen on his white helmet. add smoke,lasers, and heroic music. fire?

play the alligators in the bottom of the gorge in indiana jones temple of doom, and pretend you are ziplining over them. could draw faint shock value and a cheap laugh

Dudes check it out now what you should do is have Conan with the cape, smoke helmet and everything slide down Arnold Schwarzenhager style shirtless with a hot chick in his hand with an uzi shooting up everyone then dropped into a pool while there's a light show going on now that would be entertainment and it showcases his true nerdness!! Think about it brosephs!

He should definitely dress up like a superhero, like Batman or Spider-man. He should also have a nerf gun and shoot stand-ups of Paris Hilton and Britney, while flying over a pool of leprechauns and/or Abe Vigoda. I'm just saying.

Add Pamela Andersen jumping up and down in support of Conan and give all audience members New Years Eve poppers in support of Conan making a crash landing through a massive stage size Hyman.

They should definitely run the light show during the zip-line, and Conan should wear a cape.

How about loud farts being played as he goes down as if it was propelling him.

he should do it DURING a german light show!!!!

There should be a three way zip line race between Conan, his producer, and Max. I'm not sure what the stakes should be though.

Another idea: I think for one show (for the entire show) Max should host while Conan plays drums.

Conan should be wearing a dino-esque costume and land on a small set of buildings. Also there should be a camera very low in the city to give the effect of "Giant Beast Conan" and capture the destruction and small explosions... (or vinegar and baking soda...)

i think conan should zipline down with a plastic pool full of either baby sharks or crabs

Conan should break thru a giant piece of paper with Max giving a thumbs up printed on it.

There should also be some kind of finale planned around his desk, with lights and confetti, and balloons should drop from the ceiling, and pyrotechnics if possible.

I also agree with the mousetraps idea.

for the zip line thing: there should be lots of short people dancing around, confetti cannons, jump suits, and a light show for the landing

Conan should dress up like Thor, including a wig, retrieve the hammer of the gods, summon thunder from the sky, and fly back to the top....WITHOUT using the zipline.

You know, after a week or so of ziplining, I think you should ramp the stairs and put in a slip-n-slide.

With a jump.

A flaming jump.

I Think The Cape Idea Would Be Great Maybe Do Like Superman And Tear Off Suit To Superman Outfit And Slide Down Through A Brick Wall That Blows Confetti When You It And When It All Goes Away Your There With A Female Who's Playing Lois Lane.. YOU ROCK CONAN!!!

Wear a bullseye jacket and have the band throw nerf balls at you as you slide down.

Conan should sumo wrestle with a celeb!

Conan should crash through a paper sign at the end of the line like in high school football games.

you should set up a jump board with springs at the landing area. And you should shotgun a beer before takeoff, and land on the jump board, which should give you a lift directly into your "real" landing area --- your desk.

Zi from Boston

They should definitely run the light show during the zip-line, and Conan should wear a cape.

i think that maybe you should do it without having the guy in the background hold on to the zipline with the rope.

Conan needs to get some black light paint for his Zip Line. He needs to comb the paint through his beard and paint a big C on his chest with the paint. Then, use UV lights as well in the German light show while he slides down the Zip Line. He will look like a Super Sonic Glowing Conan!

hey conan! you should try wearing a superman outfit and crash through a brickwall!

Conan needs to use the zip line while wearing a Madonna bra, this way he can crash thru a giant poster of the masturbating bear into a ball pit filled with packing peanuts, obviously.

Hang by your legs... and at the bottom... run into the Cactus playing Billy Joel's "We Didn't Start the Fire" on the flute.

Drop into the arms of an American Gladiator (gender selection at your discretion).

First off, Conan should wear a blue satin cape - or the pale force costume...

secondly, the audience should be armed with ping-pong ball guns or marshmallow guns...

thirdly, it should all be done under a black light - that should make the ping-pong balls, smoking helmet, etc show up really well...

Conan mentioned on the show that he thought that the zipline would move more like a rocket. Towards that end, I suggest strapping model rocket engines to the zipline and igniting them as Conan went down. It would have the same smoke effects as that... how should i put it... interesting helmet Conan wore on the show tonight while possibly making the zipline faster. The only complication with this is that too few boosters would fail to have the desired effect, while too many could result in the acceleration on ignition being fatal. That said, I personally think it would look cool, and it would make the zipline more closely resemble Conan's original idea.

German disco light show effects singing along with Led Zepplin's "Immigrant Song".

I would also like to see how many times he can go back and forth on the zip line before he has to let go.
(trying to set a new record each night.)

Just attach a noose to the zip line!
.
.
.
that'll make it pretty interesting!

Peace Conan !!!!!

Dress up as Chuck Norris and pull a scary "Walker Texas Ranger" moment. Slide him down holding a "Huckabee" dummy, and use that dummy to knock down all other candidate dummmies that are waiting at the bottom by the desk.

you should crash into a pile of minty foam

german disco lights and sequence suit.

I think Conan needs to wear silver spandex, scuba fins, a pair of goggles and a snorkel that blows bubbles.

Two words: Masturbating bear. Think about it. Bear outfit, smoke helmet, zip line.... Then wham! Masturbating bear. Priceless.

Conan wearing a Bubble Maker on his back would be pretty neat... the wind rushing through at "100 mph" would make some cool Zip Line Bubbles!

Do it over a shark tank, while dressed like the fonz.

Throw Abe Lincoln in there too or something...and have a random Larry King quote when you land.

There should be handle bar tassles on the ends of the zip line handle

Crash through a banner with the NBC logo on it.

Conan should launch from the rear of the theater, wearing the smoking helmet and a cape. While he flies, Max and the band plays mariachi music in the vein of the mexican hat dance. Near the bottom of the zip line, he crashes through a giant poster of the 1991 film Cool as Ice starring Vanilla Ice, and then lands on the desk triumphantly.

Hey Conan, go down the zipline during the German disco lightshow!

Pull a Doc Brown from the classic "Back to the Future" movie, reinacting the scene at the end where he takes the zip line from the clock tower...GREAT SCOTT!

I think Conan should make the zip line higher because hes so tall and it will look more daring,because hes such a daredevil(LOL).I also think he should try to land in his chair when he gets to the bottom.I think Max should have to do it also.He should also have a suit that sparks come out of his backside.The background music should be the eye of the tiger.

Conan should crash through several important works of art while he goes down the zip line... like the mona lisa, the death of socrates, and whatnot. Do this while clenching a small american flag in his teeth. keep smoking helment, add sparklers. play classical music.

You should make fun of the American Gladiators!!

This is very easy. You need to combine the great light show with the great zipline and have the first ever laser light zipline show!

i think conesy should wear a WWI style leather jacket, eye goggles, and scarf. He should also be smoking a cigar (just modify the smoking helmet setup). There could also be WWI style fighter planes circling him. You should reference the Red Baron and how Conan is a redhead.

Conan is a pale, pale man. He should, therefore, cover himself in bronzer and smash through a wall of swiss cheese. Why cheese? Why swiss? Well, it's never been done, for one. Second, it's semi-permeable--he generally fails on air, so this should work out well. And further, if Conan tears through a swiss cheese barricade he will go down in history as the best late-night talk show host... ever.

Conan should hang upside down by his knees and eat bacon while he zip-lines down to Home Base.

He should land into a pool of money while having a camera strapped to his smoke helmet. German disco lights going on as well doesn't seem like the worst idea.

The zip line should be attached to the back of Conan so he can spray the croud with silly string while he flys over them. Conan shold be wearing a cape with the letter "C" on the back of it. The music should be something to do with flying (rocket man by elton john). There should be blow up animals or bowlling pins for conan to knock down.

man u guys must really be hurtin' for ideas!!

Ok...hears mine...Have Conan dress up as the tooth fairy, and he gets chased by the mob for cheating the boss's kid out of tooth money...real dramatic chase scene...conan escapes them by using the zip line...only to get shot down by the firing mob's guns..Exploding blood packs soil the fairy suit...and the tooth fairy gets "whacked"....

this can be followed up by Conan wearing the same bunny suit from "a christmas story" and he gets shot again by the mob for cheating the boss's kids out of easter candy...

Thats all I got

Do it over a shark tank, while dressed like the fonz.

Throw Abe Lincoln in there too or something...and have a random Larry King quote when you land.

First - I definitely agree with all the people who suggested merging the light show with the zip line. Fantastic idea.
Secondly - If you're going for speed and fanciness, I believe you should change your method of zipping. Rather than using the traditional bar that you dangle from (let's be realistic, Conan's a bit on the lengthy side), you should use the seat of a swing. I think that if the bar is closer to the line you should be able to hang a couple feet of cable from either end of the bar and attach the seat. Then when Conan has his grand finale (read as amazing stunt finish), he can do one of those dismounts little kids do when they jump of the swings at the playground. If he is willing to practice I bet he could even make a solid landing on or near his homebase.
Whatever you do, I'm sure we wont be disappointed. (We better not be disappointed!.. no pressure)

BOWLING PINS

Hey Conan! You should try wearing a superman outfit and crash through a brickwall!

I think its time, that the Walker Texas Ranger himself come back, and ride down the zipline with Conan.

Conan should have the laser light show on while ziplining though the audience. On his way down, he will be going through a series of (fake) brick walls and lands on stage. The evil puppy will be sitting on his desk; the evil music will be playing once Conan reaches the stage. The Masturbating Bear will radomly run in front of the screen for no reason at all.

Conan follows random people down the street while playing his guitar, to give these people their own "theme song".

Beer!!!

So Conan starts a RING SPIN(the desk is wedged up so it's flat) and then he runs to the top of the steps and gets on the zip line and rides it down before the ring stop spinning!!

one man, two syllables

steve-o

the addition of steve-o would definately up the ante regardless of what else you do, just make sure your liability insurance is all up to date

Conan should definitely wear an Evil Knievel suit. And attach some sparklers to the handles that he's hanging on to.

-Joey

Conan should wear the American Gladiators suit and swing down.

-Camille

Conan. Nice job on the Zip Line tonight. And don't worry... NOBODY can accuse you of using writers. :)

Conan should go down the zipline and have the American Gladiators throw medicine balls at him and try to knock him off. I think he'll make it.

I think Conan should be dressed as a cliche action hero (Rambo, Die Hard, 007, Chuck Norris... etc) and re-create an action scene in which the climactic finale involves him flying down the zipline - he could kick terrorists on the way down and be greeted at his "homebase" by a beautiful "Bond Girl"-type woman, and end the sketch with a cheesy cliche "Bond"-type line of dialogue directed at the camera.

Another idea would be to attach a contraption to Conan that shoots confetti to his left and right, blanketing the unsuspecting audience in paper.

Conan finds out that the zipline will now be an event in the olympics, and he is now training - Abe Bagoda is his trainer...

Just some ideas....

-dave wasserman

Have Abe Vigoda go down the Zipline wearing his bird costume thing!

(sorry if this has already been said)

Conan needs an orangutan riding piggyback while he wears a gorilla suit. please...

without a doubt, you MUST have german disco lights while ziplining! Also, wear a cape and have chuck norris greet you at the end of it!

i think Conan should wear a cape that is made of streamers that looks like fire with the helmet that shoots out smoke. Then for the finale he should land into a mini pool

CONAN SHOULD also PUT SPARKLE STICKS THAT ARE used for New Years or 4th July on His Helmet. Make it more dramatic!!

That is epic. Oh and you need more boods. Female ones preferably.

conan should hold onto the bar with his legs and dow down the zip line uoside down into a fake brick wall

My 3 year old LOVES Conan.
She wants him in a bathing suit (may I suggest an old style men's swimsuit-with bathing cap...got to protect that hair!)
and land in a pool of chocolate syrup.
Or, in a chicken suit, landing in a vat of KFC batter.
Making a mess is more fun.

I feel like the zipline's not dangerous enough.

I think there should be a cobra pit, maybe a pool of sharks. Maybe both.

i think a little person in a diaper and tap shoes should come out and do the ooga chacka dance then ride the zip line .when he lands jump up on the chairs and tpdance anything on conans desk. then just run off the set.
dim the lights and bam theres the liitle guy he oogas then rides the zip to the stage where he then proceeds to jump up on conans guest chairs, then onto the desk where he does a quick tap dance or river dance

Need ACTION sequence!
SILLY STRING BATTLE! Get Max/audience involved.

Hmm, a congo line with members of the band or special guest down the zip line.

Maybe zipping into a mini ring with spandex to wrestle Hulk Hogan (for American Gladiators promotion), or anyone else willing to agree.

Incorporate the light show while wearing one of those light up stick-figure suits.

Zip line into a pool filled with kittens, stuffed of course or over a pool filled with alligators/crocodiles/piranhas.. plastic, stuffed.. your choice!

Zip line over Crash through a wall of fake bricks on each step of the audience.

Then land in a giant bowl of cereal like in Honey We Shrunk the Conan.

All while wearing a Giant Spoon Costume and singing singing Led Zeppelin - Immigrant Song.

Then let the Legendary Dance Party episode finally begin!

Conan can use the zip line to springboard a new character, a superhero named Intensity Man, who uses his 'newfound intensity' to spin rings, make kings and top Japanese pop charts. Or, he could just end the zip line on an actual spring board, doing a flip over his desk and landing in his chair.

As you just stated on your show, "I'm getting lowered to the ground"

Yeah, don't do that, it'll look a whole lot better.

You should dress up like a bowling ball and crash through some bowling pins.

That or dress up like a secret agent, then land on the stage and make a secret agent stance like 007 would make.

I personally think you should have a loincloth on ala' tarzan..and crash into trees max plays the corny jungle music and then bam! thursday's show is complete!!!

u should add jenifer lopez and replace max with the gorilla in this commercial http://uk.youtube.com/watch?v=Wy52yueBX_s&feature=related

Please add hulla hoops. Like... people could hold them. And Conan can use his crazy long legs to try and collect as many as he can...? Ya dig?
And I agree. Strobe lights make everything cooler.

you should have humans size pins up like in bowling . . . zip line bowling

How bout Conan sticks to a velcro wall once he clears the audience? Maybe he could then be wheeled out to the middle of the stage.

I definitely feel like Conan could maximize the glory of the zip line segment by flying along in the midst of the German disco light show, a lighted jumpsuit, all while hanging upside down.

I think Conan should have the Devil puppy return as well as Abe Vigoda. Maybe Conan can zip line down as to save Abe vigoda from the Devil puppy.....

Conan should wear a chicken suit and there should be confetti cannons near "Betsy Lou" that go off upon his arrival.

NO PANTS I BET A FRIEND BIG GELT ON THIS 1

smash into a wall of velcro wearing a suit of velcro over a pool of chocolate pudding.

Try to follow me here, I think this is gonna be the winner...

First, Conan (who is wearing protective gear such as knee pads, a chest protector, and the smoking helmet) runs through the hallway to the right of the stage, where he battles ninjas wearing all black (he wins, of course). Then he makes his way into the lobby of the building where there are more obstacles, like NBC Pages firing water guns and/or Nerf guns at him. He must duck, dive, and roll to avoid them. Then, we finally see Conan appear on the top of the studio steps, where he goes down the zip line and on the way has to kick targets held by audience members in order to make his way back to the stage. He should probably then do some sort of dramatic roll onto the stage, all the while the band is playing "Rcoky"-like victory music. The end.

I love you.
Smash

Do the zip line during a "bad German disco light show" Instead of having
a smoke helmet, have a helmet with lights on it OR lights + smoke. At
the stage where he lands have a wall that he crashes threw. You can make
the wall of boxes or something. Maybe some minor pyro when he initially
hits the wall, maybe some small booms or fire..

he should zip towards a bullseye target or any sort of target to see if he can accurately hit the center. maybe even a giant picture of la bamba with his mouth agape.

yeah, definitely someone dressed up in a gorilla suit (possibly labomba), while wearing the smoke helmet.

alternatives could be someone wearing a fat man costume (if you have to ask what a fat man suit is...) while wearing the smoke helmet

Pandas! Pandas!

zipline into dinosaurs

You can't go down alone! Something needs to go down with you.
Maybe an animal on your back?
Or another person out of the audience?
Either way, more weight should zip you down faster. =)

Crash through the wall from Gladiators... wearing spandex of course. Meanwhile, Wolf from the show can howl at you. Nice way to incorporate some NBC love.

Zip-line dressed like Data from the Goonies with the James Bond theme in the background and with Conan slamming into a cardboard cut-out of Chunk.

I think Conan should totally put on a gorilla suit, with the smoking helmet and go down the zipline.

Conan should dress up as either Batman, Superman or The Toxic Avenger. Preferably Batman. With music from "Batman Begins". Max should be a villan trying to stop him from getting on the zip line. Also, Brian Williams begins the skit with "Breaking News" Then Conan defeats Max and successfully rolls over his desk and falls into the chair. Max goes to jail!

The zipline was awesome. I think it would be great if Conan could slide down the zipline in a chair or a bicycle. Also, he should wear women's clothing.

Send the Horny Manatee down chasing Conan!

he needs to be chased by something... i'm thinking an indiana jones reenactment where conan steals something and is chased by a rolling bolder.

My idea goes along with Conan saying he wants to crash into something. He should do a zip line bowling type activity. He can come down the zip line and try to knock as many pins over as he can. For a more humor aspect, have him dress up as a contender from American Gladiators and have him crash into figures that look like the Gladiators. They both belong to NBC, so there shouldn't be any copyright problems.

Wearing a giant panda costume, zipping over all of the dallas cheerleaders, and landing in a pool of jello.

Conan should zip tandem with the horny manatee next to him.

ok two thoughts maybe he could do like a joust with someone on another line

or crash into a fish tank full of paranhas

Blinking Lights!!!!

Maybe the german light show with the zipline?

he should do it during the "german disco light show" while yelling random faux-german words

I think Conan should have fake rockets to go with his smoke helmet, should crash through some foam bricks and should end with a backflip of the zipline.

Conan should set a zip line up and break through a flaming wall of writers in a picket line!!

Conan, definately either a batman cape, Evil Kanivel with sparklers from the 4th of july sticking in your helmet. hhaha

try setting up the zipline where you have more room like outside? Perhaps make it part of the opening of the show. also, you could have guests be introduced and come out on the present zipline!!

I think Conan needs to get in a kayak, strap on a snorkel, goggles, a helmet, and a lifejacket and zip down the runway into a childrens swimming pool occupied by Joel Goddard and/or Labamba and/or the horny manatee.

I think Conan should have Adam and Jamie from Myth Busters come on and video them designing and adding effects to the zip line. Play the video before Conan does the zip line then have Adam and Jamie on as guests.

I'd like to see Conan dressed in a superhero suit fitted with velcro, come down the zip line, land on a springboard or trampoline, and fly into a backdrop that the velcro can attach to. He can derss as Spiderman and the backdrop can be a sky scraper, or he can be Superman and there can be clouds, and there can be a strong fan blowing to make his cape look as if he's flying!

Conan should wear a monkey suit and a tutu or a monkey suit as a mommy monkey with a stuff baby monkey on his back.

i think the biggest improvements would be:

1. conan wears somethign that allows him to shoot bubbles out of his armpits as his arms are extended.

2. conan holds a miniature basketball with his feet and attempts to shoot it at a basket at the bottom of the stairs.

3. conan lands on a giant switch that immediately activates the german light show

I think Conan should soar through the air during the German Disco Light Show dressed in a body suit of a glow-in-the dark skeleton (or just dressed as a leperchaun) over all the members of the Max Weinberg Seven kneeling on the steps before ending the run by falling into a ball pit (or pit of glow in the dark foam).

conan, you should zip down the zip line full speed and crash into PIMPBOT 3000

How sweet would it be to bust out the MASTURBATING BEAR costume? Then attach his diaper to the zip line and have him "doing his thing" all the way down the zipline! And after the audience is crying from laugher, have the bear do it again with a smoking diaper that harkens back to Conan's helmet. Man, that'd be sweeter than marmalade jelly.

hook him up like Superman to the zip line - from his back belt loop (obviously a harness)
zip to the bottom - then - don't let him down for a second - leave him hanging and awkward for a minute.

Get NBC to supply ACTUAL GLADIATORS from American Gladiators to try to stop Conan as he goes towards stage (while wearing Superman outfit with German Disco light show).

THEN, have Andy Richter wearing a diaper do the same thing.

Dear Conan,
you should race Max Weinburg, or get Chuck Norris or the masturbating bear to ride down it!

I need to see Conan drop into a pool at the end with the Horny Manatee waiting for him. WOW! that would be amazing.

Hey Conan, I have a terrific idea for you. You should wear an Evil Kinevil spandex suit with sparklers coming out of your shoulders. All of this plus your smoke wearing helmet. Carrying a sword (a fake one) and as you rush down on the zip line yelling something like "alalalalalalalalala!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!" As your nearing the end of the line you will have a wall of cardboard boxes forming. These boxes will be filled with cheesecakes yummy and delicious. While your crashing though the wall use your fake plastic sword to cut though the boxes and you can have someone at the end of the zipline. As your about to finish you can like dropkick them off and have them like cry while a cheesecake which would like spontasouly burst into flames or something of the sort.

conan is in a chicken costume, but has a firebird lucha-esque facemask. he zips down in order to drop his conan/firebird/chicken egg on stage with hatches into little jay leno!

You need to place a pit full of 15 or 20 dachshund puppies directly beneath your planned extreme path. Indeed, it would be a show!

CUPID CONAN. Conan should wear nothing but a giant diaper, maybe a bow and arrow strapped over his pale shoulder. Then at the end of the zip line he should land in a giant upright whipped pie, because all things ridiculous end with a pie in the face.

Conan should dress up in his pale force outfit.

Can we get the Horny Manatee to ride the zip line?

As for the end with Conan, he should end in a kiddie pool while wearing one of those floater rings around his waste that's shaped like some type of animal that is by no means a water animal.

1.conan should put on a tarzan costume and have max play something jungle-y to zip down to. while wearing the helmet with smoke coming out the back...

2.conan could hang on the zip line upside down, though this may not work since he is so tall

3.definitely simultaneously have the german light show while conan zips down the line

Zip line into a Chuck Norris round-house kick... but survive!

Conan needs to crash through a wall of boxes, cans, or rolls of toilet paper/paper towels. THAT would be cool!!!

I'm still cracking up from that sketch. Great Job. I think Conan should turn out the lights, wear neons on his shoes, tie, helmet and anything else with a strobe light, and throw on the German disco light show. Also have a bunch of guys dressed as German disco dancers at the bottom of the zip line dancing for Conan to zip down to dance with.

He needs to keep the smoking helmut but wear a bran and panties. If he won't do that then he needs a target on his back and let audience members throw snowballs or other objects at him. Maybe land in a baby pool at the end.

Conan should jump ONTO a horse, wearing a Chuck Norris Cowboy hat. THEN cue the German disco lights. Although it might frighten the horse...

Conan should wear goggles, a flight suit, and a flight helmet while going down the zipline (like from old aviation movies).

CLOWN COSTUME!!! pleace conan! i'm afraid of clowns but youd be the funniest clow i know!!

The best way to improve the Conan zip-line, is to have La Bamba do it.

Have Conan do the zip line with Abe Vigoda, Larry King, or Jim Gaffigan on his back.

get the crowd involved! do magic tricks!

I think Conan should wear a fire fighter suit and go through break away glass that says "Break Glass in Case of Conan"

zip through a wall of rice krispy treats, and into a pool of...(insert something creative)

i think you should where a rocket suit

I think pyrotechnics are obviously out of the question, but confetti cannons during the descent and a wall to crash through at the end would make the zip line stunt pretty insane! Conan very well could land himself a starring role in a new Rambo flick if he's not careful!

Yeah my spelling blows. I meant boobs. I dunno what a female bood is even. :/

Next time add a cape and a super suit. OR wear a Indiana Jones costume and have the staff shoot Nerf arrows at him as he is going down. Or have a pool of jello for Conan to land in. Or have Conan zip down holding a Olympic torch and have him light his desk on fire

They should dim the studio lights real low, put a big spot light on Conan while everyone in the aisle seats around him has 4th of july sparklers going as he's coming down. I think that would be pretty dramatic! Do it!

Conan, should dress up in a big fruit costume (ie. orange, bananna, etc.) and zip down the line into a big pool of jello (maybe Max can do this too)...hence making a the largest fruit salad known to man. He should then proceed to pass out to the studio audience.

he should get la bomba to do it in a clown suit while the light show is playing with the masturbating bear waiting for him at the bottom of the zip line.

Conan needs to do it blindfolded and blowing bubbles with gum.

How about a rhinestone encrusted, elvis/evel keneval jumpsuit. Complete with flames, cape and matching helmet

Conan should definitely wear a purple unitard with flames on it and a pair of Bono-style or Elton John-style sun glasses.
Cheers Conan

This should be his new entrance every night until the strike is over.
Also guests should make entrances on the zip line.
(maybe even lucky audience winner gets a piggy back ride @ end of the show.)

Oh- and nothing says comedy like Labamba on a zip line.

ok so you (Conan) can attach flares to your ankles as max starts a sweet hard rockin intro to an awesome rock song then as you glide down, these beautiful vegas showgirls pop up from in the audience cheering for you and getting the audience to scream for your extreme awesomnity and badassedness. Then you land on top of your desk amid tons of confetti and with much spectacle and grandeur a guitar drops down to you from amid the rafters just in time for the first guitar riff of the song thats playing, which will be synchronized to a pyrotechnic display fit for a king. Then after playing on top of the desk for a while you step down and head on over to where you do the monologue, but on your way over you have to have guitar off after guitar off of the greatest living (and possibly dead) guitar legends, whom you will easily destroy. Then, at the main stage, as you stand there rocking out between two real live lions, the max weinberg 7 begins to play with you and for the rest of the show you can finally have the hour long "Cone-Zone" extreme dance party/rock concert. Think about it dude, this would totally kick major butt. Love the show.

I agree with the Cape thing.. but why dont you go down the rope with the disco lights on

He should zip over a pool of sharks and/or piranha.

Some possibilities:

Some possibly mentioned

Cape, suit, and shoes shooting sparks.

Wearing a neon trimmed suit. With the laser show.

Have your celebrity guests ride on the zipline.

You should wear a velcro suit and have the audience shoot you with darts on your way down, OH Yah! Or make labamba do it.

Conan needs to do the zip wire with a monkey on his back while wearing and drinking out of one of those beer drinking helmets.

Go down the zip line wearing a velcro suit and land on an inflatable velcro wall... interview the next guest or do the next bit in whatever position you land. Invite the next guest to join you on the wall perhaps.

i think that conan should wear a cape and crash through giant bowling pins. some light effects like strobe lights would be cool.

Streamers are always good.

do it either wearing just a spedo or something crazy... or have a guest on the show do it.. or a guest on the show wit a spedo!..
also u can try to do something to attatch your feet to the bar and do it upsidedown.. something like a boot attatched or something

Can you move the zip line to other NBC shows? I think you should randomly go sailing through Deal or No Deal unannounced.

Seriously, just try making it longer than 3 seconds, and you might have something.
Here's a suggestion: Make it curve off to the left at the stage and head towards the band... and maybe back again. Obviously.

Check it out. Instead of going down looking forward, Conan turns around and zips down the zip line facing backwards. Then, he turns around and goes back up backwards as well. Going backwards will freak everyone out.

I think you should go down it in nothing but a red speedo.

I think Conan should wear a cape when going down the zip line... especially since he has the helmet that smokes

conan should where vomiting kermit on his back

I think Conan should wear a cape . thanks for allowing me to enter dustin

for your zip line

try the following

start from a higher point, get your body up higher to get more distance and speed.

put a box full of ducks or just one duck on the zip line.

use sparklers

things to crash in to

seattle needle or CN tower costume

a cardboard cut out of conan obrien

a taxidermied bear

a wedding cake

a box of ducks

a fake brick wall

max weinberg's drum set

the grub costume

a manatee

a vending machine

rosie odonnell's head made of paper

a tree, while playing "george of the jungle"

a tank of water

or just go back stage and grab the 1st thing you dig up.

i think that conan's zipline stunt would be taken to the next level if he did it while wearing a tutu and singing the beginning of "the immigrant song" by led zeppelin..

Sandra Almeida

Conan has to do the German light show while going down the zipline

Conan you should have a stunt double do it for you. but this stunt double shouldn't look like you at all she should be a hot chick in a bikini. think about it... hot chick, zip line, late night will never be the same.

1. Live mousetraps under the path of the zipline

2. If possible, alligators or angry dogs in the path of the zipline.

3. At the end of the zipline, Conan must bust through a wall of fake bricks.

4. An Olympic-level zipline timer and the same camera setup they use to judge lines at the US Open for instant replays.

1. Tassels oon the ends of the Zip line bar!
2. Maybe a Flash out fit to make him look faster!
3. He should be doing a rotating kick while zip lining!
4. But yeah he should crash in to something at the end like some huge bowling pins or some old characters like the masturbating bear and some others and knock them all down OR he should crash into something that sets off a chain reaction or domino effect!
5. it should end with him going back up the zip line

It might be fun!

The audience on both sides need to have arrows. Or Nerf guns.

Dear Conan,
Please zip down the zipline strapped in like Superman who can shoot sparks out his butt.

Or get Brian Williams to do it.

Zip line down and then through one of those fake fires that they sell at halloween s tores that blows the air up through fire colored streamers and you can go through the fire like you wanted!

Conan needs to wear a Detroit Red Wings jersey with hockey equipment on the zipline. with rabid Canadians waiting at the end.

There should be a Conan dummy that'll fly into the night background

I think Conan should crash through a wall at the end. Flaming, if possible. Otherwise, a wall of blocks like on American Gladiators.

wear a penguin suit. or somehow put sparklers on your shoes.

Dear Conan,
You should race max weinburg to some sort of prize. Or race chuck norris or the masturbating bear down the zip line

here it is:

Wind machine
fog machine

choir of kazoo players
playing:

highway to the danger zone.

I would also like to see conan with a bright red cape that says " CONANACONDA"

what ya think?

Conan should zip to the bottom every night where he is would be met by a different set of Gladiators. He would have to then complete a small Gauntlet course. It could be timed each night. I don't think he could pass Helga!

Evil Kenevil suit.
then crash through boxes filled with packing peanuts at the end.

1st let me say connan u are too funny! ne way a cape, parachute and sum wind...hey there isnt much to do with the lil space and ur mad tall lol Later!

It'd be awsome if you wore your Pale Force garb (cape and trunks) and had Abe Vigoda strapped on your back as you rescue him from a 1.5 story morgue that erroneously was trying to embalm him.
Ya, that'd be cool.

I think in the end of the ride you should kick your boss in the face

I THINK CONAN SHOULD PIGGY BACK CHUCK NORRIS DOWN THE ZIP LINE WHILE SPARKLERS ARE LIGHTING OFF HIS SMOKE HELMET.

It would be a lot cooler if he was wearing a skintight,spandex bicyclist suit,you know the kind you see those bike freaks wearing when they're cutting you off on the road? And one of those weird aerodynamic helmets to go along with it.

Hey Conan, how about smashing through a giant wall of slimy, glistening SPAM?! I'd pay to see that.

I think you should give the people at the show nurf guns or something that shoots sticky stuff and try and stick stuff to Conan as he's going down. He should then bust through a big picture of THE duck (conans got ducks) as a big finale.

i think you should where a rocket suit

Conan needs to dress in a hulk hogan outfit and zip down to the hulk hogan theme song! and then at the end leg drop someone!

1. wear a purple cape and try to zipline over the evil puppy.
2. attempt the zipline with ... wait for it ... have the new american gladiators all along the way down to make it more difficult.
3. what would make it more difficult... shoeless!
4.wear short shorts and rollerskates.
5. rambo... i don't know how to incorperate him into it... have rambo do the zipline.
6. backwards, go down the zipline backwards.

in the dark with light up shoes

Beer!!

One word: streamers.

That is all.

What Conan Should do is have that guy bring out the Tuxedo that is easy to put on,and have Max play some like James Bond or Spy music, and create a little 007 mission skit or something and have conan go down the zip line as the music is playing, and as he gets to the bottom he should drop kick a bad guy, and at the end say something funny Bond or spy related.

CRASH INTO A WALL OF FOAM! also have the German disco light show going on and wear some kind of suit that is flashy and glow in the dark NOW THAT YOU BE AMAZING

Take some of the spotlight away from Conan...Joel, in costume (cape included of course) ziplining down to some of his Asian buddies

green screen the zip line and do a tour like with the desk driving.

The Zip Line needs a beard.

Everything that you have is sweet. I think some flame decals on the helmet would be cool. Some smoke from the handle bars could add some spunk. Also a midget or two some where in the act would be awesome.

I say they should use LaBamba or Pender or both of them together to go down the zip line and land in a kiddie pool of pudding.

You've got the music...

You've got the smoke...

You've got the jet sound effects...

Now you need a ferocious manatee chasing Conan as he propels down the zipline.

You should definitely do it with a laser light show with all the other lights off and then plow through a big picture of george bush with a stupid look on his face... that shouldn't be hard to find...

Combine zip line with light show. For added thrill, spot light illuminates your descent.

Dress up like a dog, but then dress up like SPIDERMAN. THEN YOU CAN ZIP LINE TO THE GROUND WHILE SPRAYING THE AUDIENCE WITH SPIDERWEBS AND KIBBLE.

i think you should extend the zip line so that you land in the chair, rather than just the platform.

maybe have some type of laser lights while you're doing it.

If Conan is strong enough, he should carry someone else down and they should play music of an explosion as if Conan just saved the person. If the weight doesn't permit, or Conan can't hold, maybe he should save an animal or a small child. Special effects suck as debris would be fun

Conan should zip in his smoke helmet one-handed, crash through a wall, spin and land perfectly in his chair (maybe move Bessie Lou forward so it will work) or fall into the hands of the horny manatee.

I think Conan should go down the zipline with a little story line of villians chasing him, all in costume of course, and add the help of the audience throwing squishy balls at him

all you have to do is get rid of that wire between the bars and the zipline. Attach the bars directly to the zipline and wah la - you will go much faster.

make Fabio do it. that would be absolutely classic.

I think you should give the people at the show nurf guns or something that shoots sticky stuff and try and stick stuff to Conan as he's going down. He should then bust through a big picture of THE duck (conans got ducks) as a big finale.

Dear Late Night,
What if Conan were to wear something that glows in the dark or lights up and on his way down, the German light show will be activated. It might look like a flying Conan of flashing lights!

He should wear a bright pink sparkly tu-tu and neon green leotard.

Also, he should wear a top hat made out of wait for it...STEAK!

Ooh...and Elton John Glasses!

And land in a kiddie pool full of colorful lmini marshmallows.

OR

He should wear a taco shell suit or dress up as a burrito
and land in a kiddie pool full of guacamole, sour cream, and taco meat.

There should be a three way zip line race between Conan, his producer, and Max.

Another idea: For one show (for the entire show), Max should host while Conan plays drums.

Perhaps Conan can go down the zip line with a really hot stripper--if not midgets are always cool and funny!

Conan should wear a tarzan costume!

For the ultimate improvement the audience members on aisle hold sparklers.

Conan man since u cant do the whole flames thing, how about some popping confetti give the crowd those poppers u use on newyears and they can pop them as your on ur way down. I like the idea of chuck norris bein in there too like bethany said....i know ur from mass like me so GO PATS

Conan should have a water slip n slide on the stairs and slide down it head first into a pool of pudding! Conan wearing a cape and a speedo

have the guests wear the smoke helmet while zipping down the line on there way to be interviewed

Addendum:

Angry 5-year olds trying to pull Conan off the zip line

Conan should zip down with a lit sparkler suit in the dark and crash through a wall of cans with a spotlight on the cans.

all you have to do is get rid of that wire between the bars and the zipline. Attach the bars directly to the zipline and wah la - you will go much faster.

- I think Conan should have a cape.
- Crash into a huge pile of empty pop cans. I mean huge.
- Throw stuff into the audience. Glitter, Preparation H, Candy, Stuffed Animals, etc...
- Have a Bond-esque rescue scene ending in the studio with Conan saving a inflatable doll.

Conan should be chased up to the roof by bad guys and escape by using a zip line that goes from the roof of the building to another.

what is a german light show??? dress conesey in a mid-evil suit of armour, include a javelin and target!

love it! just need a little more speed and a better release. perhaps letting go at full speed into a mini-pool. it would be awesome to pop up all wet with a ruined microphone.

connan should crash into max or the background

Conan: As regular viewers will know, Conan’s got ducks. But I wanna know what the POINT of having ducks is. Why does Conan have ducks? They’re fluffy. Tasty. They eat their own crap. But the truth is, I race them. Illegal in some states, a blood sport in some countries, I have perfected the art of raising the racing duck. And today, ladies and gentlemen, I will race [insert name] the NBC duck, raised and trained by me, in my zipline. The duck’ victory will illustrate my superior training skills

Follow with a race between Conan and his duck. He’s still on the show, right?

☺

Cape and jumpsuit
"EVIL CONEVIL"

And maybe a kiddie pool with plow up alligators to zip across over.

A tank of foam sharks with head mounted laser pointers, Nerf darts being fired at Conan, and the theme music from Indiana Jones. :D

Conan should go down the zip line and try and knock over some giant bowling pins.

Hey Conan,

I think seeing you wearing an Evil Knievel / 80's glam-rock jumpsuit with frilly things hanging from the sleeves would be a great addition. :)

Whoa now guys, I for one don't need to see Conan half naked! Why not have him dress up as Larry King and crash the "Oscars"?

Go down the zip line with the German Disco laser light show going on. But add sparklers to the helmet and a bunch of neon clothing with black lights above him.

Conan should go through a burning ring of fire and then go flying into chuck norris finally landing in a large bucket of foam....oh yea minty foam :)

Im a big fan of the paintball gun, shooting stand up bad guy targets on the way down but you have to start with rock and roll music and the german disco lights, and you have to hook conan up on the handlebars with a harness so his hands are free and maybe some pyrotechnics along with music and the smoking helmet,

Have Conan wear a cape during the German disco light show ride down the zip line and crash through a tower of "man bags" then spin his ring!

Mr. Conan should zip over random people while a chimpanzee (or other small monkey) rides him piggy back on the way down. The both of them should be dressed identically with mask, cape, costume and the ever famous smoke helmet. Now while this is happening the audience should have to all raise their hands and scream as if riding a roller coaster. In fact Mr. O brein should start at the bottom, then be pulled up with a roller coaster 'klickity klickity' sound and then the release (jet sound should be used again with Max jammin' away). There should be some cheerleaders at the end, perhaps even a local high school (kids love to be on TV) and a pool of jello. Yeah, definently a pool of jello. Oh, and there should be bananas in the jello for the monkey. Pyro? It would be nice...seriously, anything looks good with pyro. There should also be paparazzi at the end to interview Co-man. Is he going to Disney? What was going through his mind? Did he mess himself?

Okay, that's enough from me.

Good luck Mr. Nanoc

you should wear a jetman suit, and go through a breakaway glass wall!!

Conan should do human bowling on the zip line, put some big pins on the platform and lets see if he cant get a strike

Conan should crash through a paper wall that says "I CAN HAS CHEEZBURGER?!"

Conan!
You need to go down the zipline while the laser show is happening!

I don't know about the zip line, but I think the funniest bit other than the "if they mated" is where you call on the phone and ask for a name, and they ALWAYS get the name wrong, it is hilarious, I don't know if you can do it without the writers, but it is awesome!!!

LaBamba goes on the zip line, but instead of landing on the dry stage, he lands into a kiddie pool, and thus getting uncomfortably wet

Conan should ky jelly wrestle with some little people or celeb. Have a hula hoop contest with a celeb or audience member.

Zipline into a wall made of paper bricks with Chuck Norris painted on it, or something else and knock the bricks down. Also a costume would be an added bonus

he should end it by flying off the handle bars through a ring of fire, or land on his desk or in his chair.

Hey Conan,

I would love to see you dress up like Dr. Phil and crash into a picture of Britney Spears with 4th of July Sparklers coming out of your helmet instead of smoke, with a backdrop of Mexico with the kids and Adnan.

Thanks conan,

Ryan Sobel
Petaluma, Ca.

i think you should where a rocket suit

I think you should do something like a Top Gun spinoff...give conan a pilots jumpsuit to go with his sweet smoke cap. and give him a wing man like shoevarine...or chuck norris. please consider.
thank you
Sam
Duluth, MN

Have the guests come down on the zip line into your waiting arms.If one or both of you are naked, all the better.

Yes. Johansen is still talking.

I think he should do the zipline to the A-Team music(LOL) Cmon Conan be the talk of the late night shows.

I think conan should travel down the zip line in his pale force outfit while being chased by a bear with the song "spanish flea" playing. it's so crazy it just might work.

Although seeing Conan going down that zip line is fine, I think seeing a monkey go down the zip line would be more amusing. Wearing a mini monkey smoke helmet, of course. And a cape.

crash into a camera!

Conan should have Glowsticks attached to his shooes with a spinning bow Tie and a parrot on his shoulder and/or Triumph the Insult Comic Dog. He Should also wear Labamba's Hat to Look somewhat cooler.

I think when he goes down, he should warp into a LSD infested world, and the line warps into a squiggly line and every turn he takes should be a mass amount of electric razors threatening his almighty beard of beards. And the a combination of all the previously posted should appear and save him where he then wakes up on stage in a parody to the wizard of oz.

Conan should have sparklers on his shoes and the handle bar of the zip line should have tassels. He should be wearing an Evel Knievel-like jumpsuit with a gold "grill" that has mini American flags attatched to either side of it.

I think you should go out into the public (like the subway) and interveiw people about what they think you should do on the show.... I always found those shows to be funny..for example, when you went out and got people into that van around the city

Conan should zip line into the arms...er fins of the horny manatee. :)

Zip-line combined with the German Disco light-show....plus a lot more smoke!!

it would be cool if conan ditched the motorized zip line and had an actual zip line (free fall)
slide onto slip and slide out through the back of the set (out of sight)

confetti should be thrown, he should pass through a fire ring, and he should be wearing a spandex leotard with ballet slippers.

Conan...you gotta dress up like yor pale force character.

Conan should not only be wearing the smoking helmet, but it should be painted with flames. He should also sport a stylish cape. On his descent their should be confetti cannons popping all around him, until he reaches the bottom where he crashes through a wall. Upon landing, Conan then breaks into the German Disco Light Show. Doesn't get any better than that.

I think Conan should wear an awesome bright colored jumpsuit with the helmet, in additioin to the smoke he should add some 'sparkler' fireworks. You know, you light the end of a stick and when it lights up looks and sparks up like a star. He should wear a body harness and not grab on with his hands. It looks a little generic doing it that way.......no offense. I LOVE Conan!! I watch every day! When he takes off he should pose as if he's superman ready to take off!!! He should let go, do and awesome jump and land onstage!! That's my idea! My boyfriend thinks he should crash into several panes of sugar glass. I don't agree....but that's his idea.

Thanks so much!

Force your guests (especially politicians) to make their entrance on the zip line in Evel Knievel outfits.

Have a group of striking writers take turns on the zip line. They can say that it was so that they wouldn't have to picket outside in the cold.

Conan, why even bother doing this if you aren't also wearing an elvis costume with the glasses, and full tassled pant legs. I mean seriously, this would complete my life.

OK, that is odd... I read some of the 104 comments that were posted... then went back to the main page and there were over 350 comments.

You mean I am not the only viewer??? ;-)

Land on a trampoline and bounce into Mr. T's arms. Plus streamers coming out of the handles like a kiddie bike.

I think Conan should dress up like a leprechaun and have him crash into a pot of gold. He needs to keep the beard and have him wear an authentic leprechaun costume. His hat should have rainbow colored smoke coming out of it. Also he needs to say while on the zipline "you'll never get me pot of gold" with an Irish Jig playing in the background.

German disco lights with a cape crashing through a brick wall (made of foam or something) at the end with a red light focused on Conan the whole time to show him and the smoke, then show quackers again!

Conan - you're a guitarist, correct? Try it as a rock-show style entrance, guitar and all. Maybe with a bright pink wig. And Paul Stanley-esque outfit.

I say, Bring Chuck Norris on the show and let him use the zip line.

How about Chewbacca giving Abe Vigoda a piggyback ride while the masturbating bear watches... over the top and a little disturbing? I think you're right!

conan showld take dr ruths advice and dress up as the pizza guy crashing through a front door and then have some sausage for him to pull out when he gets there!!!!!

have the guest do it. or get the masturbating bear to do the zip line.
bubbles always make things look cool.
also conan should wear a cooler outfit!

fans..thats all i have too say
as many little fans as you can get
Also have an auctioneer narrate the action and conan screamin SUMINAHHUMINAHAAA

ZIP CAM!!!

HAVE TWO HOTTTT GIRLS AT THE END IN SWIM SUITS !!!

One word... CAPE.. you need one of em' superhero capes!!! Maybe superbeard or SuperConan? and you can hold sparklers and instead of going through something crash into someone? Maybe take on the masturbating bear or pinbot??? or the man with "Bulletproof Legs..." LOL he's not kickproof!! DEFEAT EVIL SUPERBEARD!!!

Zip line 10 pin bowling with life size pins vs Max Weinberg or other band member.

Remember the old video game "Pitfall?" What if you did something like that... setup up the different scenarios going down the stairs that were portrayed in the video game!!! Alligators, quicksand, scorpions... oh my!

check it out:

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pitfall!

Go to http://stevenpolley.com

I drew a diagram, and made it my home page

have the audience shoot silly string at him - or nerf balls.

You should book Muppet stunt artiste extraordinaire, Gonzo the Great to give commentary and announcing of the event.

Call Debbie McClellan at the Muppet Holding Company, LLC (818.549-2018) about booking Gonzo (and any other Muppets) on the show.

Having Gonzo (performed by Muppeteer Dave Goelz) would give the event so much more gravitas.

Take a look at this list of stunts Gonzo performed on The Muppet Show, and maybe it will inspire something. http://muppet.wikia.com/wiki/Gonzo%27s_stunts

I mean, he performed an elaborate waterskiing stunt while a chorus of chickens clucked the "William Tell Overture" in the The Muppets Take Manhattan. Gonzo should be a consultant on this event. Contact The Muppet Holding Company, LLC for help.

Conan should fly over a snake pit and land in front of a Bengal Tiger wearing a crown.

Set up another zipline and race an audience or band member.

1. Get rid of the man holding the rope that keeps you from accelerating. Feel the need for speed.

2. Rig the line with a flamable gel or whatever and lit it, then slide down.

3. At the bottom, put down some padding and but a stopper on the line so when it hits u drop on the padding. If you dont like padding, get your green minty foam. :+)

By no means get a cape. You might look like the cartoon from SNL(Ambiguously Gay Duo)

You should have a card board cut out of Max lined up in a row at the end of the zip line and kick through him/them as you land on/by Bessy Lue (the desk), then cue the german disco light show while you eat a wienerschnitzel

How about letting Conan go free off of the line, and he crashes into the huge American Gladiators soft padding wall (the man is frail). After he crashes through the wall, he is met by Justice who then forces Conan to run the Gauntlet to victory! Hulk Hogan can make a special guest appearance to do a post event commentary with Conan to see how he felt about the event.

Conan needs to get some flames on the helmet, and while he is flying down "Highway to the Danger Zone" needs to be playing. Then a funny quote from Top Gun needs to be thrown in possibly with Max saying, "you can be my wingman any day", and Conan says, "BS you can be mine!"

maybe you should have a butt cushion for safety...

LIGHT SHOW + ZIP LINE WOULD BE SUPREME

I totally think he should wear a leapord thong or speedo with the song I'm to sexy for my shirt playing as he goes down the zip line.. ahha

Go Down Head First like superman

I think Conan should dress up like a leprechaun and have him crash into a pot of gold. He needs to keep the beard and have him wear an authentic leprechaun costume. His hat should have rainbow colored smoke coming out of it. Also he needs to say while on the zipline "you'll never get me pot of gold" with an Irish Jig playing in the background.

Conan should zip to the bottom every night where he would be met by a different set of Gladiators. He would have to then complete a small Gauntlet course. It could be timed each night. I don't think he could pass Helga!

Conan should wear his flashy cowboy jacket and slide down the line while singing a song.

Conan should zip into the arms of masturbating bear and horny manatee...then they all go to dinner with the Sh*t-eating duck and chuck norris

i think it should be steven segal-esque. so have it include and not be limited to highly trained mullet warriors and squinty eyes. and have a first person camera on the helmet. maybe you should zip in a superman style laying down too so you can film the crowds faces in awe.

where a Recognizable costume like sonic or pikachu. For example sonic crashes into mario like he's attacking him and fighting him kind of like Peter from family guy fights the chicken.

I think he should do having the German disco in the background and a zoom in and out on Jeff's face while he wears a viking hat.

Play "Kickstart My Heart" while flying down the zipline.

Dear Conan,

I think you should have a bike that you can climb onto that would slide down the zipline. Wear the smoking helmet and have smoking rocket boosters on the bike. An American flag cape would be a nice touch.

CONAN, THERE ARE TWO TYPES OF PEOPLE IN THIS WORLD. THOSE WHO ZIP LINE LIKE MEN AND THOSE WHO DO NOT. BE A MAN. THE ONLY WAY TO PROVE YOUR MANHOOD WOULD REQUIRE YOU TO LAND INTO A KIDDIE POOL FULL OF JELLO. PREFERABLY CHERRY. WHAT'S MORE MANLY THAN A KIDDIE POOL FULL OF JELLO? JUST PICTURE MICHAEL BAY'S PEARL HARBOR INJECTED WITH STEROIDS AND FULL OF RED BULL...YOU GET THE PICTURE. BE A MAN.

conan should go down the zip line in a peinis outfit with a cape rapped aound the head.and eyes cut through the cape. this would be hysteirical.

1) Conan should be wearing a parachute that goes off halfway through the fall, of
2)The entire crowd should be given dodgeballs to be thrown at Conan during the fall
3)Without warning, after Conan is done, the masturbating bear randomly jumps on the zip line and masturbates during the fall to the song of course.

Conan should have a strobe light flashing while riding the zip line. Conan could also see if he could zip line right into his chair.

Max and the band play mission impossible music and Conan zips down with lit dynamite in his mouth.

CAPE!
Conan should SPIN on the way down.
Have the techno remix of Final Countdown by Europe playing on the way down.

Ok. heres what you do. Conan Zips down with mudgets with pitch forks poking at him , and he needs to battle his way down into a pool of "Minty Foam," why doing the German Disco Light Show. Heres another idea. Before the show have Conan and the Band build a cardboard fort on the set and have conan take a camera in a show the audience. LOL lots of laughs. Oh and have conan go to the gym and film him doing a work out since hes always talking about his child like build lol.

At the end of the zip line, Conan should have Fabio to catch him.

For the zip line I think there should be some cannons that shoot out confetti as Conan goes down the line with sparklers on the handlebars and have him crash into a wall of cardboard boxes or something like that. I also agree with some of the other comments that he should wear a cape as well. There should also be some explosion sound effects as he reaches the bottom and then immediatetly go into the german diso light show where conan jumps on the desk and plays with the light. that would be amazing.

Ditch the zip line & go with a trebuchet!

Conan should get a huge cut-out of Bono's face. Conan should smash right through it on his way down the zip line.

Maybe Max could play some U2 in the background.

P.S. Conan should wear a cape, Some year 2008 glasses with the wholes in the 00's.

zipline hanging upside down into a pool of minty foam

i think Conan should put highlighter colored streamers on the end of the zip line handles...with the german lights going crazy...with the the song Thriller playing in the background...
that would be baller for sure

An ice skating get up with ribbon attached to every part of your backside (legs & all) while wearing a beer helmet with your choice of beverage =]

While running in the air...

Zip Line Idea
First, the helmet. Smoke is good, but you should add sparklers, and as many as possible.

Second, it's time to combine the best parts of Conan for the ultimate zip line. First, the German techno music AND lasers should be in full swing, with a spot light on Mr. O'B. Then, as he suggested, Cone Dog should come bursting through a barrier. My suggestion, a giant banner/poster of Walker, Texas Ranger.

I think Max and the Band should be given those flashlights that cinema ushers and people that work on the tarmac use to flag Conan into the landing point.

-Conan should be dressed as Tarzan. While going down the zip line, have him rescue a Jane (a blow up doll)from an evil monkey. At the end of his rescue, he should beat his chest and do the tarzan call.

-Conan dressed as superman (with a cape), smash through a fake brick wall at the end of the zip line.

-Conan dressed as Little bo Peep. have a staff in one hand, and try to knock out fake sheep on the way down with his staff

-zipline bowling!

one word........ Midgets....

Conan and Max should stand on either end of the Zip line and ZIP a midget back and forth.........

Hey conan you should crash through a dry wall picture of max, or fall into a pool of foam, or zip line while doing the german disco!!!!

CONAN...heres my big idea...u need to do the light show but not only that while your zip-lining you need some rambow music or something like that in the background...do it over a small pool of some sort like you would see a toddler play in...and do it through some sort of fake palm trees...I WANT FAKE PALM TREES PLEASE...AND THE BIGGEST PART OF THIS IS...AFTER THE PALM TREES BREAK THROUGH A PAPER WALL LIKE IN A FOOTBALL GAME, WITH A FIRE PICTURE ON IT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Wings on the shoes would make him go faster.

Mr. Conan should zip over random people while a chimpanzee (or other small monkey) rides him piggy back on the way down. The both of them should be dressed identically with mask, cape, costume and the ever famous smoke helmet. Now while this is happening the audience should have to all raise their hands and scream as if riding a roller coaster. In fact Mr. O brein should start at the bottom, then be pulled up with a roller coaster 'klickity klickity' sound and then the release (jet sound should be used again with Max jammin' away). There should be some cheerleaders at the end, perhaps even a local high school (kids love to be on TV) and a pool of jello. Yeah, definently a pool of jello. Oh, and there should be bananas in the jello for the monkey. Pyro? It would be nice...seriously, anything looks good with pyro. There should also be paparazzi at the end to interview Co-man. Is he going to Disney? What was going through his mind? Did he mess himself?

Okay, that's enough from me.

Good luck Mr. Nanoc

Conan, you should strap some fireworks on, it would give u more speed. Obviously that wouldnt be aloud. So maybe you could use the soda/mentos effect.

I think you should go down the zip line with a pinata attached to your belt and have the audience members try to break the pinata while you soar through the air. At the end, you will land in a child sized pool of wet noodles, preferably fettuccine.
Thank you. Please make my dream come true.

Conan should wear an Evil Keneivel suit, with cape. Zip line down and over a kiddie pool full of fake sharks, through a banner with strike beards all over it, and land in tandum with the german disco light show starting. Pulling somewhat of a sigfried and roy show...

I am thinking Conan in a superman harness playing rockband guitar whilst sliding down the zip line. Rocking

1. Streamers on the handlebars
2. Wear a Cape
3. Crash into the Masturbating bear.
DO IT FOR AMERICA CONAN!!!! IT IS TIME TO GET SERIOUS ABOUT AMERICA

The gist of the zip-line ride should consist of this:
1.Conan wearing some sort of super hero suit.
2.Fourth of July sparklers lit on various parts of the costume.
3.Conan zip-lines into a kiddy pool of red Jello
4.All the afore mentioned debauchery while the band plays Cherry Pie by Warrant

I think that a "to be continued" freeze frame just before Conan zips would be amazing. Bring back memories of the Fonz leaping over the shark.

regarding the zipline.....

BATMAN COSTUME!!!!!!!!!

HE SHOULD BE SHAVING HIS OVERGROWN BEARD WHILE RIDING THE ZIPLINE

Someone beat me to it. Masturbating Bear should definitely soar the zipline!

Conan should descend feet-first into the chest of a putty-partoller, who would explode on impact. That would be the stuff of pure win and majesties.

Conan should land in a pool of minty foam, or have rocket roller skates on.

He could also zip line into Max's arms.

Sparklers could go along with the smoking helmet.

Play the song "The Final Countdown"

He could do it blindfolded upside down.

Also he could be drinking a Starbucks Latte.

I'm all for the whole "American-Gladiators-trying-to-stop-you-from-getting-to-the-stage-while-the-German-techno-light-show-is-in-the-background" idea.

Okay, my suggestion is to put vegetable oil on the rail of the zipline, and be sure to wear proper elbow & knee gear. And it has to not be that pulley-type deal you got on the show tonight, it has to be just a free zipline. And you should have a mattress on the opposite wall of the set so you don't shoot through the wall. Or at least if you do, the mattress'll go through the wall first. And come to think of it, we might all enjoy your viewpoint, so strap a little camera on your smoke-helmet. C'mom, do it! do it!

First off, German disco light show for sure. But perhaps while flying through a battery of angry nuns with rulers punishing him for terrible material. Flying into La Bamba's open arms while playing romantic music? Running from Abe Vigoda?

Conan should definately try to zip line off Rockafeller Center or zip line off a balcony in Times Square somewhere!!! That'd be cool!

CONNAN SHOULD BE WEARING LARGE YELLOW BIRD FEET AND WINGS AND CRASH THROUGH A MODEL OF TOYKIO IN A LATE NIGHT TRIBUTE TO THE "B" MOVIE RODAN.

Conan,

In honor of the end of the 2007-08 football season...

You should dress up as a giant paper mache football. The horny manatee, dressed in a football player's uniform, should kick you in the butt as you start your zip line. You zip down towards the stage into (hopefully through) a set of uprights. Max should be there in a referee uniform to make the call.

Crash through a wall of boxes

Tricks! spin moves, leg hanging, then backflip dismount onto the couches and/or fling your Conanself in the general direction of your desk.

Here is my idea for the Conan zip line. He goes down and hits though a banner that says www.hornymanatee.com in BIG letters. Then once he busts though as he hits the lights for the German light show and his voice goes crazy like the latest one and then runs up the lights go back to fully lit.... drum roll and then RING SPIN.

Bam thats like 6 min. You da man conan

I think conan should go through a burning ring of fire then kick chuck norris in the chest finally landing in a large foam bucket....minty foam!

I am not a US Resident. *delete* hahaha

Conan should wear a bulleye on his back and have people in the audience shoot balogna with permanent marker of their names on it at it. The people who hit the balogna bullseye get a prize! Balogna!(probably NONE) If one or more persons manage to keep it on Conan until he is safe from his voyage they get an even better prize, the Ingrid Michaelson Conan Figure! If more than one wins, they can have a piece. :P

How will it stick? From all the mustard on Conan's back of course.

P.S.- He should wear a traditional native headress to spice things up while "Warcrying" in the old fashioned way(warpaint just before take-off?). Don't worry, the idea came from a REAL LIVE INDIAN! SWEET JESUS WHAT A LOOPHOLE!

P.P.S.- I am not a US resident but you can say it was your idea anyway. By posting here I've waived all rights to this idea. Keep up the good work!

-A cape, definitely. Maybe a nice, flowing red one with the cartoon Conan from the commercial transitions on it.

-A big muscly costume. The kind that look like the body of a big muscly dude wearing a speedo. (you can make this flame retardant if you REALLY want Conan to go through flames)

-The band could play "Having A Good Time" by Queen, but I don't think that's as exciting as what they did play.

-Try and get the breakthrough wall from American Gladiators that they break through at the end of whatever that obstacle course at the end is. (you can set this on fire if you REALLY want Conan to go through flames, but I don't think Hulk Hogan would appreciate that)

-Get Hulk Hogan to chase Conan down the stairs for stealing his wall.

Conan should zip down the line with the helmet that shoots smoke while fireworks (such as sparklers, etc.) are shooting off, strobe lights are flashing, and all kinds of huge things are going off for a big finish. All topped off with the masturbating bear coming out at the end (no pun intended).

CO should hang by his legs and fall into the foam boxes from NBC's new show American Gladiators, of course with the smoke helmet and Hulk Hogan anouncing

Have you considered giving everyone else a zipline and making them go uphill so it only looks like you are on a zip line going downhill?

And more smoke.

I think you should bust through some exploding cardboard boxes.
Then land on pads that look like hard, sharp, rocks.
Keep the smoking helmet and add the German Disco lights.
You should also have a mic to make German Disco DJ sounds and comments.

Have Conan reference Monday night's unveiling of the zip line, and then ask crowd if they want him to do it again. Have him dissapoint the audience by saying they didnt add anything new, and its gonna be same old same old. Conan goes up there again, and starts going down the zip line. But very soon after he begins his descent, have the masterbating Bear run out and position himself prostrate on the steps leading to the desk platform where Conan is led via the zipline, waiting for Conan. The masterbating Bear music overrides the normal zipline music. Conan freaks out and starts screaming or something. Either have Conan land on the bear, or stop his descent and pull him back up. either way.

Okay here's my idea.

The zip line is good, but an excellent addition would be if Conan wore a vest made of aluminum foil...or better yet even a full suit of tin foil.

he should zip line over a parade of angry midgets with sticks and treat him like a pinyata.

Have weekly races between different characters or people on the show.

Pit of badgers

Do it naked Conan
Or do it through a double sided lines of razors to shave off your beard.

i think you should kick your boss in the face in the end of the ride

Conan should have the German light show going on, with the helmet modified to have lights/a siren + the smoke, and crash though 3 bulls eyes, 2 Styrofoam brick walls, and a poster of a flaming ring or explosion, zipping past cheerleaders or Rockettes, and crash landing into the desk, while the audience is given food catered by Hooters girls with and/or wearing American flags.

Conan should smash through giant bowling pins at the end and wear a glow in the dark suit

HE SHOULD BE PLAYING GUITAR HERO OR SINGING

Some improvements
a) speed, faster, much faster possibly from raised platform near band.
b) laser light show is a must, landing on desk with spinning lights would work
c)when climbing platform, introduce dramatic music, something like 2001 a space odyssey theme
d) holing something that shoots lasers

Perhaps Conan can go down the zip line with a really hot stripper--if not midgets are always cool and funny!

Mr. Conan should zip over random people while a chimpanzee (or other small monkey) rides him piggy back on the way down. The both of them should be dressed identically with mask, cape, costume and the ever famous smoke helmet. Now while this is happening the audience should have to all raise their hands and scream as if riding a roller coaster.

Is he going to Disney? What was going through his mind? Did he mess himself?

Okay, that's enough from me.

Good luck Mr. Nanoc

Conan needs a net gun.... Conan should start outside in a super hero costume, run through the building, long pause on elevator, run into the studio, zip down the zipline, and then have the evil puppy waiting. then this is when conan would use the net gun to capture and destroy the evil puppy.
New opening to the show perhaps?

I see no reason why Conan shouldn't zip-line into Noam Chompsky, or another noted linguist/lecturer

I think Conan should go down the
zip line in his pink heart boxer shorts and land in a giant pool filled with chocolate pudding.

I think MAX should go down the zipline too. Either that, or a second zipline be set up so Max and Conan can race down.

How about the horny Manatee goes down the zip line! haah we havnt seen him in awhile

Conan should zipline while the German light show is going on. He should wear a helmet with a light or light show on it. You should put the smoke things on his belt or shoes. Finally, crash into Chuck Norris life size cardboard cutout.

fly through:
-a crowded indie emo concert
-a protest meeting
-AA meeting
-german laser show
-the universe dressed as a shooting star
over:
-a pit full of snakes
-a pit full of bunnies
-a pit full of dogs, then offer adoption methods to the audience

Bearded lady-boy in a wedding dress. It's almost too easy to do.

as you zip down the line the audience shoud shoot you with silly string and at the end you should crash/land on a tower or castle of twinkies.

Chip Wheatly...I mean Conando...I mean Conan, you have three options: A) You must get on the zip-line with shoes that have spikes on the bottom. Then proceed down the zip-line and kick La Bamba in the rear.

B) Have the "metro" producer you interviewed the other night sipping a Cytogainer shake while piggy backing on you. (That interview was the funniest bit I have ever seen on your show).

C) I will go down the zip-line and kick La Bamba in the rear.

p.s. I'm in NY if you need me to do the latter.

I think Conan should zip down the line dressed as Mayor McCheese.

Firstly: Conan's smoking helmet needs to have flames painted on the sides. Honestly, how can he go fast if he doesn't look the part? Plus flames are bitchin' and get the honnies.
Secondly: Conan needs a dare devil suit, similar to, but not identical to Eval Kaneval's, since it is important to mirror greatness in order to be great.
Thirdly: The dude with the rope has got to drink some coffee or something because he is not going nearly as fast as he should be. Honestly, I hope he's union if he's workig at that rate.
Forthly: The zip line should start on the other side of the auidence because they are always getting neglected: Conan never talks to them and they never get on Televison.

I think conan drop kick chuck norris at the end of the zip line with the horny manatee

Conan definitely needs to add some slick flame decals to his, as-of-now, plain white smoke pouring helmet. I also think that Conan's ride down the zip line would be more exciting if an enemy of his were chasing him, and Conan used the zip line to escape.

Conan should wear an awesome leprechaun outfit (a giant green suit and hat) and land in a pot of gold. Using special effects you could create a rainbow that the zip line runs down. I know the budget it high now that writers aren't getting paid.

BEST IDEA YET:

Alright, have SPARKLERS going off near the home base or landing zone. Also, have a good number of BIRDS flying across Conan's path to give the effect that he is high above the ground. Simple yet amazing!! Also, I wanna hear "come fly with me" by Mr. Sinatra.

Good luck!!!

Remember the bit where Conan would "drive" his desk through various scenes using a green screen or some such? Conan could get his adrenaline rush by ziplining through simulated rings of fire, away from buildings about to be demolished, etc. Also, the cape idea is neat.

Dude Conan,

My name is Peaches, and I am a 19 and 3/4 year old guy from coastal Virginia. Ok you want zipline excitement? Heres what you need.

1.Zipline (of course... how can you have ZIPLINE EXCITEMENT without a zipline?)

2. Keep the smoking helmet. (and add a smoking jacket)

3. Have Max dress like a clown. And the band will play circus music.

4. At the end you will crash THROUGH a GIANT GLOW IN THE DARK Poster that says "You weren't here....but now you are."

5. On top of everything, the light show will be going on simultaneously!

6. And Triumph should be the play-by-play commentator, while the duck runs around on your desk.

And if it is totally awesome i should be a guest on your show...

Conan should wear a jacket covered in the lights for the German laser disco with more smoke and lights off...that would be hilarious. who needs writers ...this stuff is great!

Conan, as you descend toward your desk, I think you should have ducks, yes, ducks so those people over at promotional headquarters can confirm that you indeed have ducks. Or you can just smash through fake flame walls, Chuck Norris, and perhaps Shoeverine.

also for German light show...

try doing it to marry had a little lamb

it's funny that we're supposed to email our submissions, but the response in the comments section have been amazing. i'm sure conan will come up with a great idea. dr. ruth just suggested that conan zip with his wife naked. maybe she's on to something!

Conan should go down the zip line with super hero suit and cape with a big C on the cape and lightning bolt on his chest smokeing gloves and boots with all smoke different colors and crash through a fake brick wall at the stage with a big target marked on it and of course keep the helmet That would be super awesome to see Conan like that any womans dream

How about having Jordan Schlansky going down the zip-line. That guy cracks me up. Seeing him doing something silly like that is hard to imagine. Would be funny!

Ride the zipline through the audience and wear a cape and speedo (with a C on the butt) with a spot light on him as he glides down, he should fall onto a horny manatee!!! playing the Indiana Jones theme

Zip line down to your own guitar and amplifier waiting for you at the end, dismount, pick up guitar and jam out.

Perhaps Conan should zip down with minty green foam shooting out the back of his helmet. And perhaps he could crash through cardboard cut-outs of the Max Weinberg 7. The life of Late Night without writers makes for an interesting expierience. Good stuff.

Legendary sports announcer Jim McKay, supported musically by The Max Weinberg Seven, should narrate a 21st Century version of the ABC Sports’ “Wide World of Sports” theme song; with Conan sporting a "CHiPs" Smoking Helmet and a Man Bag –much like Chewbacca’s sporty version --draped across chest!

Conan should use a zip CORD constructed from a steel wire/cable mounted to the rafters aimed downwards leading to his desk. While he is holding on to a handle device with a two spinning wheels incasing the wire(one above and one under wire). This will allow his weight and the sloping angle to enhance greater speed and better results. Also he should set up some sort of an obstacle to go through, perhaps a flaming hula-hoop or dodging inflatable manikins of Conan’s biggest celebrity enemies to hype up the stunt. As in any major show/event he should finish with a finale…possibly a cheesy dramatic splash or crash through painted cardboard boxers to resemble a brick wall, which he would explode through and resulting in loud crowd applause. Those are my ideas I came up with in a matter of 2 minutes. I hope they work for you.
-Philippe

Conan, it's the new year and everyone is trying to get in shape. I think you should dress up like a huge cucumber and slide down in a big bowl of salad and when guests come on they can bring various items to put in the salad bowl, any salad topping they want and everyone can see how much the bowl grows. Every night you could dress up as a different vegetable!! Yeeeaa salad!!!

Conan should reprise his old role as Moleculo from Saturday Night Live, fly down the zip line, punch out some extremely large bad guys, immediately fly back up, and say the famous Moleculo catchphrase.

Then plug a sponsor, saying it gives Moleculo his superpowers.

Make the zipline steeper and go faster, and then do it during the German light show and crash into Max. (With the helmet with fireworks or firecrackers attached to the sides.) Also, attach lazers to the helmet. (If possible, the green ones from the German light show.)

Mr. Conan should zip over random people while a chimpanzee (or other small monkey) rides him piggy back on the way down. The both of them should be dressed identically with mask, cape, costume and the ever famous smoke helmet. Now while this is happening the audience should have to all raise their hands and scream as if riding a roller coaster. In fact Mr. O brein should start at the bottom, then be pulled up with a roller coaster 'klickity klickity' sound and then the release (jet sound should be used again with Max jammin' away). There should be some cheerleaders at the end, perhaps even a local high school (kids love to be on TV) and a pool of jello. Yeah, definently a pool of jello. Oh, and there should be bananas in the jello for the monkey. Pyro? It would be nice...seriously, anything looks good with pyro. There should also be paparazzi at the end to interview Co-man. Is he going to Disney? What was going through his mind? Did he mess himself?

Okay, that's enough from me.

Good luck Mr. Nanoc

1) Add red smoke to the head gear instead of white smoke -- white smoke is too sissy!

2) When Conan lands have him crash thru a paper barrier like high school football teams do on a Friday night...only have the barrier look like blazing firey leaping flames ....you could add red, orange, white streamers around the edges of this barrier with a fan blowing it to look like flames leaping up for effect.

3) Or have him skid thru melted marshmellows when he lands...he'd have to be wearing a body suit that's skin tight and covering his head too...he'd look like Conan the Condom then.

wear your cowboy outfit. while max weinberg and the weinberg 7 plays the immigrant song while you sing the song and have shoes that throws out sparks. and at the bottom of the bottom of the zip line have a tub of foam for you to land int . AWESOME IDEA. USE IT .

Conan should wear a disco light helmet, and with the bad German disco light show going on, at the end of the zip line have
a cymbal clapping monkey under
a spotlight.
p.s the monkey always funny.

The zip line idea is genius, but I think Conan should be wearing a vest (or even a suit!) made of aluminum foil.

instead of the zipline make a slip n slide down the aisle and slide into a tub of jello screaming holding a giant spoon....or just zip line into the jello holding a giant spoon

have conan crash through a barrier or wall of some sort with some action music in the background texas ranger-style.

Conan should race against La Bomba in a zipline race with some sort of high stake like the winner gets to host the show.

[b]
you could a) crash into the curtians bringing them, as well as lower Manhattan down with you... b) set up giant Doinino's and hit one and set off a chain reaction of sorts. and of course ending in fire!
c) have each guest zip-line down it too
d) zip line star date 2008...and by the time you get down the set is changed into crica day 1950. A Magical Time-Line-Zip-Line-Machine.
each time ya go down you could be transported into another time period.
[b]e) has someone said bowling yet? but put on large over sized clown shoes first too.
THat's about it!

I think conan should get into a monkey suit, and do the whole zip line as a jungle theme. "welcome to the jungle." could play in the background, and at the end of the zip line conan could fall into a pool of banana pudding.

I read one were they said to zip line upside down, which i agree, but he should make a helment a trade mark not a cape like most think.. when he goes down upside down he should wear a helmet that has a small perpellar that looks like a boats motor..

I definitely think the bearings or zip line cord should be lubricated and greased to increase the speed ratio!

The Battle of Good and Evil. Conan (dressed as Jesus) must save the masturbating bear from the devil, as portrayed by Andy Ritcher. The devil is positioned on the stage with a mechanical dragon shooting fire behind him. Conan then zips down from heaven (the top of the stairs) and shoots the devil with a laser beam contained in his beard.

The End.

HAHA... I think max should ride a sled down the stairs and you can race him on the zipline!!!!

how about conan is in a wet suit and lets go of the zip line just in time to land in a babby pool of jello or something cool

Conan..first off, I think you should do the zip line shirtless, everyone will love that! Along with your burly chest hair, you should wear a mask and cape. Keep the smoke helmet, but at the end of the zip line drop into a children's pool filled with mass amounts of foam

consey, the zip line is freakin hilarious, but if you want it to be awesomer perhaps you should wear an EVIL KNEIVEL SUIT, just think you going down the z-line wearing a sweet ass red, white, and blue fire retardent suit. Dont forget the stars either, the more patriotic the better.

Just an idea: TURN OFF THE LIGHTS tURN OFF BLACK LIGHTS TURN ON, gIVE THE AUDIENCE WHITE NBC SHIRTS OR COHNAN GEAR, GLOW STIKS, EVERYONE YELL, THEN FLY DOWN, UNTIL HITTING THE STAGE THEN PLAY THE CLUB MUSIC, AND RIDE THAT TILL THE END!! OF THE SKETCH! OH AND THE SMOKE HELMUT TAKE THAT OFF AFTER THE ENTRANCE ON THE STAGE

With Guest Star Mr. T, Conan should reenact a "mission" from A-Team, which ends in Mr. T yelling, "I ain't flyin on no zipline fool! Get on there, Red!" (Meanwhile, the Max Weinberg 7 plays the theme from A-Team) after the zipline, some "credits" over freeze frames from the mission.

I was thinking that Conan should ride the zip line over a tank full of sharks. In lieu of this, a kiddie pool full of goldfish would suffice.

Conan should fly down on the zipline over a pit of hungry crocodiles.

We think you should wear angel wings that glow in the dark and fly through cardboard boxes with glow and the dark flames drawn on them while wearing a miners helmet.

comming after sue jo hanson in a lady godivia suit

It's fairly simple to hook Conan up so he'd fly like superman. That plus a diet coke/mentos attachment would make for some great poncho seats and excellent TV!!

Ok Conan, take your two dreams and make them a reality for one show. Not only should you have the band play for an entire hour, but you should be on the zipline the whole time too.

Rig up a harness that could hold Conan while he plays the guitar or he could wear a kilt with cowboy boots while petting a kitty.

The audience should be armed with nerf guns and shoot at Conan on the way down. Label the darts and award a prize for closest to a target painted on conan.

Tarzan theme...Conan aka King of the Jungle. Use a tarzan rope instead of the handle bars. Jungle sound effects. In a sense create the conan version of the movie Tarzan. It could be made as if it was an advertisement for this upcoming movie as Tarzan with use of special effects.

A couple of crocodiles in a pit. Or a pit of kittens. Or crocodiles and kittens.

Hello, I think that if you had Max (from the band) or a producer go on the zipline that would be cool. Or if you had Conan in his swimsuit or if you had him go over the people not over the stairs. I think those would be cool. Im a huge fan of the show!!

I think Jordan Shlanski should zipline in and tell us about his vespa!

So it is pretty much voted on that many people want the German Disco Lights.

But how about a play off of those Japanese shows where you have to anticipate the shape and go through it.

You would need to cut the top so the zip line goes through and then have certain ones made with legs spread, stick figure, get creative!

It would be great to have conan wear some kind of fake jetpack, crash through the foam at the end of the zipline, and then slide or be carried on a treadmill to his desk. He has to wind up at his desk somehow, so in worst case scenario max could carry him.

Conan should go down wearing some kind of a costume, maybe Evel Knievel, but you have to race the masturbating bear.

Zipline wearing the Mankini!

I'VE GOT IT!!
Conan, peddle your legs like you're riding a bicycle when you're zipping down the zip line. And also, you're chewing gum, your eyes are crossed, and you're singing Holy Diver by Dio.

Conan should wear 1930's era flying goggles (Amelia Earhart), sported along with a flashy scarf. (as well as a cape)

While wearing his flashy attire, Conan should drop through a wedding cake.

If these options do not suite Conan's desires, perhaps he would rather become Conan the Barbarian (Arnold Schwarzenegger), loincloth and ax.

Both of these options would boost ratings, because who wouldnt love ziplining throught a wedding cake, or a half naked Conan. :)

You should go down the zip-line with your laser show, and then go through a wall of fog, and have a lot of strobe lights and black lights.

1. Set up a wooden fruit stand, complete with piles of fruit. Especially pineapple and watermelon. La Bamba is standing behind the fruit stand, wearing a poofy flamenco dress and one of those awesome fruit hats that the Chiquita banana lady wears. Conan zips down. La Bamba leaps out of the way just in time to avoid getting hit by Conan, who then crashes into the fruit stand.

2. Human tetris! See http://youtube.com/watch?v=Ll2kajMH2u0

At the end of the zipline, superhero conan fights evil henchmen. Corny sound effects, neon onomatopoeias, and a supervillain Max would be amazing.

i think that maybe you should do it without having the guy in the background hold on to the zipline with the rope.... Oh and with a cape

You should go down the zipline with rudy's german light show going on, and at the bottom of the stairs you should have a gigantic paper ring thats outer edges are on fire. And the paper ring should be a picture of la bamba. Than out comes the masturbating bear.

Mr. Conan should zip over random people while a chimpanzee (or other small monkey) rides him piggy back on the way down. The both of them should be dressed identically with mask, cape, costume and the ever famous smoke helmet. Now while this is happening the audience should have to all raise their hands and scream as if riding a roller coaster. In fact Mr. O brein should start at the bottom, then be pulled up with a roller coaster 'klickity klickity' sound and then the release (jet sound should be used again with Max jammin' away). There should be some cheerleaders at the end, perhaps even a local high school (kids love to be on TV) and a pool of jello. Yeah, definently a pool of jello. Oh, and there should be bananas in the jello for the monkey. Pyro? It would be nice...seriously, anything looks good with pyro. There should also be paparazzi at the end to interview Co-man. Is he going to Disney? What was going through his mind? Did he mess himself?

Okay, that's enough from me.

Good luck Mr. Nanoc

Hi

How about strobe lights behind each knee while wearing Speedos and a pair of Victoria Secret angel wings.

Also more smoke and more speed.

Zip

during the German disko light show wearing a glow in the dark disko suit while David Hasselhoff does the singing! Fo sho

Give the entire audience silly string and or pies to toss at you on the way down.

While going down the zipline, have an awkward conversation with Max.

there should be a laser light show as Conan goes down the zip line

Conan should at least have flames drawn on his helmet. Or perhaps a lightning bolt on his helmet to represent his lightning speed!!!!

Cape for sure, with Red & Yellow Tights. Keep the smoke helmet but add flames of fire coming off the sides. Get a side kick like Andy Richter or maybe with Brian Williams, both with matching uniforms, zip line at the same time crashing through a wall like the end of the eliminator on Gladiators.

Conan should zip down the line wearing elbow pads and fall into a pool of elbow macaroni (preferably uncooked) and then fight a ninja, or two if the budget permits, in the aforementioned pool.

The zip line would be better if the helmet smoke was black

Another possibility... Conan is dressed in a tuxedo standing at the top of the stairs, when all of a sudden we find out that LaBamba has been smuggling the trade secrets of Late Night out in his trumpet case. LaBamba makes a run for it across the stage. Cue the James Bond theme as Conan swoops down on the zip line tackling LaBamba and foiling his evil plans to sell Late Night's secrets to Jimmy Kimmel. Conan casually sits behind his desk as he sips on his martini... shaken but not stirred.

As Conan the Barbarian rides down the zip line, the audience and any member of the show should throw things at him. Waterballoons,eggs, packages of ketchup would be funny. As he gets to the end have him land in a big tub of icy hot, and then takes a drink of sunny delight.

Hey Conan,

My name is John. I think it would be funny if you build a huge-huge fake toilet out of styrofoam and call it "John". And then when you are at the top by the audience, say something sarcastic like. "Oh haha, I'm about to crash into the John". And make sure that the toilet has my name across it. And then, after you crash into the toilet. Say something like..."Oh, dear, looks like I hit the John again... didn't I?...muhahaha"..And give me credit Conan, or ya' done. Ya done conan!!haha. I think you will get better ratings this way.

Thanks,
John Broadwater

I think Conan and Max W should dress up in big pink bunny costumes and box. :)

Hey I got an idea to spice up your Zip Line. I was thinking you making some type of wings to put on your back with your helment then you crash in a crowd of striking writers! tell me what u think. LOVE THE SHOW!

Conan should wear a thong and crash into a drum set where Max sits playing a drum roll. Pads are optional.

Agree with the sparklers on the ends of the handle bars...but Conan should definitely land in a pool of whipped cream!

Conan I think you need to get a big trampoline and do flips on it.

IRON MY SHIRT!

HORNY MANATEEE IS ALL I GOTTA SAY!! LET THAT THING FLY DOWN HAHAAHAH..with funny music!!

Put the camera at the bottom of the stairs so Conan can majestically soar over it and so the audience at home doesn't see him awkwardly get lowered.

Conan should zipline while wearing a Tarzan Costume. Or, in case of copyright concerns, a "Jungle Man" costume.

If the copyright isn't an issue, play the George of the Jungle theme song, and crash into a foam tree.

Ladies love a Jungle Man... Right ladies?

Alrighty Conan - you asked for it you got it - make sure to send us tickets when you do it!

First you're going to need to call Wayne and The Flaming Lips up to come in with their space ship...

Lights down....end of the show on a friday....

As the Lips usual show opening fan far begins, the space ship descends while confetti and balloons fill the room.....Wayne emerges from the craft in the magic ball while you simultaneously, (dressed in a super hero suit)
fly down the zip line in slow motion while the audience hits you with hundreds of mini lasers (again as they do at the lips shows). You meet the band on stage with the bunnys and aliens and santas (these suits are ideally filled by the striking writers both for fun and to get them a damn check till this mess is sorted out). Then you join the lips on acoustic guitar for the a rendition of Do You Realize that will live on in late night and prime time TV while the audience, the writers and viewers all over (as well as yourself) have a cathartic life changing moment......

Cheers Conan!

Conan needs a cape with his logo on his chest and cape (supermanesque). Bruce Springsteen singing a greatest hit, while Chuck Norris is at the end ready to roundhouse kick Conan, however, Conan comes away VICTORIOUS! Then Conan picks Chuck up and puts him on the zip line and kicks him in the butt.

I think there should be a Kiddie pool at the end.

1. Set off the German Disco lights.

2. The Max Weinberg 7 cue in and start jamming to their Foo Fighters cover "Learn to Fly".

3. Conan then slides down the cord wearing reflective clothing or plain white clothing that would be colorful with the German Disco. Also, possibly a helmet or hat with lights or bicycle reflectors on top of it.

4. Conan's flying through the air at over 700 mph. Just as he breaks the speed of sound at 770 mph he hits a pool filled with packing peanuts.

5. Lights turn on showing Conan in the pool of packing peanuts and the Max Weinberg 7 play the short "winner" theme "Dun dun dun dunnnnnnn!!!".

6. Then Conan calls himself an ass and we go on.

Perfection!

Dear Conan,
I may have the greatest idea ever start off on the zipline and at the end of it run into the masterbating bear, if u guys can't use characters b/c of the Writers' strike, u could always try and put a green screen behind Conan and have sky or the rope of a gondala on it, etc.

Since you're flying sans-writers and appear to be flying high on weed since the day you returned, how about smoking a [fake] DOOBIE while zip-lining!

Honestly, I could swear you're puffing the magic dragon or sippin' the sauce.

A real improvement on the zipline would be the addition of large paper targets covered in whipped cream sitting in Conan's path. Having not watched in awhile I must say, the old beard looks as if Conan spent time in NBC's version of "the Hole". This new manicured beard looks like he moonlights in a 'Color Me Badd" coverband. p.s. Lester Holt is the first generation of entertainment androids being phased into infotainment.

make conan take some shots of alcohol before then and wear a leather suit down the zip line.
anddd possibly have the german light show at the same time? who knows.

Here's the deal Coney,
The reason the stunt was... eh... less than impressive... was because you didn't have enough hang time! What could be a better way to increase your time in the air than with COLLAPSABLE WINGS! Flying squirrel style...

conan should zipline into a pool of oatmeal with the horny manatee waiting for him in it.

Conan needs talking starfish, fire breathing chiwawas and of course, exploding kamikaze exploding pterodactyls...

i want to see conan zipline into a paper wall at the end and into a pool filled with chocolate pudding!

Conan should come down in full pale force costume. Maybe a flesh colored shirt or better a flesh colored shirt with like the muscles and nipples drawn in so his bare chest isnt showing cause that would be a bit much. Then Jim Gaffigan should be waiting at the bottom and of course lights, sound, and advanced(crappy) pyrotechniques will be worked in once the logistics are worked out.So at the bottom they meet and thats where im kinda stuck. Im thinkin they take a ride in the desk or an action/drama unfolds where the guest bands play. We could even use the whole set. Maybe conan is saving jim or the world or somethin its not that hard, and they expose small parts of there torso in a homoerotic way to use this super pale power they have to save the day. Im thinkin some villian in a eyepatch who might shift it cause it gets itchy and does a corny voice just trying to hard. And maybe a corny nuclear rector to save jim or the world from. So take it and run, fill in the gaps and I guarantee gold. This took me 15 minutes to think up, prbly not even. Damn writers strike. Just pay the people already. Use your super pale powers Conan to save us from this writers strike.

Strap old school skis on conan...dressed in an old school ski outfit..throw down fake snow...or get a real snow machine...or a snowcone machine...have conan ski down the stairs holding onto the zipline with plastic streamers hanging out of the handlebars...have conan dodge giant snowballs and then wrestle the insecure polar bear..(he's insecure because he's wearing white after labor day)

Thats all I Got

first off - how about when you get introduced at the beginning of the show, as the guys says, "conaaaaaaaaan o'briiiiiiiaannnn" u come flying in on the zipline. from the left of the stage to the right side towards max and the band, then do the monologue, then later on in the show u could do a zipline again and except this time, ziplining into a chuck norris cut-out or even chuck norris himself...

Conan, it's the new year and everyone is trying to get in shape. I think you should dress up like a huge cucumber and slide down in a big bowl of salad and when guests come on they can bring various items to put in the salad bowl, any salad topping they want and everyone can see how much the bowl grows. Every night you could dress up as a different vegetable!! Yeeeaa salad!!!

Conan totally should get one of those professional house of cards builders! Anyone can crash through a brick wall. It takes a real man to knock down a house of cards.

Okay, well I work at the Hooters in Springfield MO and since Conan has never eaten at Hooters I think he should zip line and eat hooters wings at the same time...he'll love um :)

Conan should crash through American Gladiator Blocks like in the eliminator

DO THIS!!!

My first idea was for you to act with MR. T on a A-Team mission....but you have the beard.....so you be Mr. T....or better yet Mr. C!!

first Justin Timberlake should expose Janet Jackson's breast while pedophilic incestual necrophiliac bestialities are being performed amidst various bodily fluids and a ritual human sacrifice.

Oh, and Conan should be wearing a cape.

THE ARISTOCRATS!!!!!!!

The preceding was presented as satire at the expense of the mass of idiots who apparently think it's OK to show a cock on American television, as well as the amzing number of people who think that a cape is an original idea.

How bout late night does not have the fat guy in back with the rope in the shot. If you guys realy want to see ratings increace then look at zorbing.http://sphereusa.com/index.htm

raise the handles so conan lands on his feet

wear a jumpsuit with flames on it

place your guests (or hobo's) on the stairs to zipline over

play final count down by europe

add shoes that shoot smoke

crash into a giant picture of conans face

bring in hot cheerleaders

get dick clark to do a count down

have people waiting to celebrate with conan as he lands.

dont listen to dr. ruth, keep the clothes on

The band should be playing the Foo Fighter's "Learn to Fly"

Conan should wear the brightest, most obnoxious jacket imaginable.

A cape should be included.

Audience members should be given fun noodles to beat Conan in a guantlet style run.

Conan should break through a "Late Night" banner and finally crash down into a kiddie pool.

Also a run with the German Disco lightshow would be preferable.

Try to recreate Conan's hair on the outside of the helmet either with paint or faux-hair.

Or along with the Evel Conevel, he could zip over hundreds of Matchbox cars - setting records.

Lots of ideas for that:

Live Pig (in a harness)while playing Pink Floyd.

Halle Berry pregnant in her catwoman outfit.

Conan dressed as a paratrooper

Howard Stern (if he'll do it) dressed in his Fartman costume.

The possibilities are endless.

Love the Show.

i forgot to include a picture..

My idea is for the Finale on friday. Have conan zipline down wearing a lazor suit in the dark, while a german disco light show goes on in the background, with a special guest host such as chuck norris as the dj. When conan lands, have him do some robot dance or something.

every week on the last day of the week, you should try to incorporate the previous weeks stunts into one big finale untill the writers get back.

thank you

william norris

Can I have a job as a writer at late night?

Again conan should come down and drop in a pool of minty foam. Another idea for another night is before the show have conan and the band build a fort out of cardboard and then have conan take a camera in a show us. And have Conzy go to the nearest gym and talk to bodybuilders and show him working out. And when the time comes have conan shave his beard on the show. Thanks !

conan, you need to put a BIG bullseye at the end and see if you can aim yourself into it and land on a BIG soft mattress just befor you fall backstage. LOL

Dress up like Gene Simmons in KISS. Flames shooting on either side of the stage as he passes. An explosion at the end after landing in a big bowl of something.

you should make it as if this is comparable to the U.S landing on the moon...cutting back and forth between the footage until BAM you land at the same time it comes off as more grandiose...the studio doesn't have to spend alot....but i'd still keep the smoke..and maybe make it a space helmet...and have some kind of alien come and greet you like ..."it's the drunken alien doing his taxes" or something dry like that

all that is needed is a standard lighter positioned behind Conans rear end, and have the raw power of Conans flatulence propel him down the zipline at the expense of the audiences smell receptors, leaving a trail of fire quite like the one left by the delorian left by marty mcfly in his travels to and from the future. it has fire, could possibly do wonders for the ever-fading traditional fart joke, and good for a good, cheap, and quite time consuming laugh. and if you get Conan up to 88 who knows what hilarity could ensue.

Set up giant bowling pins and have Conan run down the zip to see how many he can knock over . Have Max or somebody play a round to see who is the official
Late Night Oversize Bowling Zip line Challenge Champion! Yeah it sounds dumb and simple, it would be funny as hell to see!

Sticking with the German disco theme:

1. Add a cape
2. Keep the smoke helmet
3. Zoom down to the music of the 1980's band Berlin (preferably "The Metro")
4. Crash through a makeshift Berlin Wall
5. Celebrate the liberation of East and West Berlin by raging to the disco light show

I would personally recommend wearing a cape first and foremost and Conan should zip down towards the masturbating bear and land on the bear in same way. So pretty much the idea is that the bear would be rather excited at how Conan is being so dangerous lol.

Or a light show, crash through a foam wall or dress like Church Norris! Throw a roundhouse kick in at the end maybe? Or just go really gay and give Max a piggy back ride while going down the zip line.

recreate raiders of the lost ark and dress up like indiana jones. If not that, try another lucas jem like star wars (luke skywalker w/leia in tow).

Hey Conan Well you always reminded me of The Joker from Batman ,So dress up like the Joker then have green smoke coming out your ass. Laughing like The Clown Prince of Late Night. While Max as The Batman,and La Bamba as Robin waiting for you and the fall to the ground as you do a jig.

Use someone else's idea, but be sure to improve the zipline so ou zip through the backdrop curtain. (In an uncomfortably tight bathing suit for added effect.)

Conan should zipline through a group of striking writers, signifying the fact that he's resorting to/exploiting his audience to come up with jokes for him.

I think Conan should crash through a mountain of pudding at the end of the zip line.

1.Wear a superhero outfit under your suit that is dedicated to the writers strike.

2. Rip the suit off exposing the costume.Put smoking helmet on.

3. Have a countdown like NASA has 3...2....1....LIFTOFF!!

4.While zipping down have strobe lights going off and the music to Star Wars playing.

5. Crash through a wall of glue and then land in a pool of feathers.

6. Hit the button for the german disco show

7. then finally dance around like a crazy human chicken

I think the zip line should be converted to a suspended skateboard/surfboard... call it crowd surfing

or just land on sue.

simply incorporate the german light show (accompanied with crazy german house music) as conan propels downward onto the stage and there upon he begins to breakdown some phenomenal techno dance moves..... two birds with one stone

conan should dress like evel kneivel and glide over a kids wadding pool filled with rubber ducks

Conan should be wearing a spaceship that fits around his waist and then the Max Weinberg 7 fight him with stereotypical space guns then he is saved by Brian Williams and then...light show... Naturally

I think Conan should wear a flying bird or mammal costume (think owl, hawk, or bat) with the appropriate bird/animal noise screeching on the way down!

Conan, you should continue adding to your zip line stunt by incorporating the ideals of Rube Goldberg. And, even possibly incorporate some mechanical devices to help the one stage crew member seen in the background having to heave you back up.

I think Conan should wear roller blades and ride the zip line backwards at a faster speed. While he does this, the "German-Crazy" Light show should be activated to full power, thus making the audience go crazy. And for the finale, a huge explosion should go off as he lands....

~Glow in the dark unitard with a hood with built in feet and hands (oh, they exist)

~Smoke throughout the whole audience

~Strobe lights

~Alien invasion type music

~Laser light show in addition to the smoke and strobe lights

~Smash through a wall of chocolate (Why chocolate? It's delicious.)

~Then you proceed to do the show in the unitard

I think Conan should wear a cape, and the helmet should not have smoke but that minty foam he keeps talking about so that the audience gets some action. Superman theme should be playing while he tries to save a woman fron Max's sexual advances. He could come with his legs and hit Max. Just a dumb thought. Thanks

Instead of just Conan on the zip-line, audience members or random people from the street should be able to be on the line. It could be like a game show.

**Chuck Norris** that is.

i think that you should ride the zip line with a cape, a mask and one of those propeller hats

How about a race. You can have Conan on one side and the flying squirl on the other side.

I think Conan should go down the zipline with max, through an elaboratly crappy jungle. At the end of the stairs there should be a water pit. And right before reaching stage Conan breaks through a giant Chuck Norris poster

have Conan do an American Gladiators bit where he zips down through the wall of blocks and then have Gladiator Wolf come out and start howling with Conan.

i think Conan should have a little platform to sit on and when the zip line ends he rockets off onto a pile of linked sausages...of course with a german light show in the background and awesome sound effects and music...CONAN ROCKS!!!

You should ZIP down (with the smoke and jet noise) and save the bikini clad girl from the gorilla (I think this is like just so obvious).*

Substitute the attackeee with Hilary Clinton, Miss Piggy, etc and
The Attacker with The Incredible Lobster Man, Horny Harry, George Bush, whatever makes it more exciting for cha.
I think Miss Piggy being attacked by The Incredible Lobster Man is almost as good as bikini clad girl and gorilla.

Combine Conan's idea of foam with the light show!

What this sequence needs is an action/ adventure twist. Here are the necessities:

1.Indiana Jones costume: hat, leather jacket, whip.
2.Zipline while Indiana Jones theme song plays.
3.Zipline over a little fire thing.
4Zipline through a fake wall, where Conan must battle the duck. Of course, the duck should not be whipped.
5.Include scantily clad tribal dancers for added effect.

Change into a superman speedo and cape, zip down the line to save Max or someone and have La Bamba stare in awe. :P

Also a brick wall may be a good idea.

Conan, One other person has said this "remove the cable between the zip line and handle bar". Also start the "VERY TIGHT" line further up the stairway just above the doorway to the stairs and end it back stage so it allows you to draw up your legs and miss the guest chairs and crash through a styrofoam mock up of your back drop. there must be enough room behind that back drop to provide for a cushioned landing zone. You can do it! make them let you. Dont let insurance coompanies run your show!

have some flash pots or confetti cannons go off when he lands on the ground...confetti makes a mess but looks cool!

So...move the couches out of there. Attach a mattress to the wall where the "skyline" is. Have him zip toward the mattress FAST. He'll bounce off into a ball pit, water or something which won't hurt. If he doesn't do it, I will.

Also, if you put the camera at the bottom of the stairs chances are that there's gonna be a nice Conan crotch shot (for the ladies!) as he zips over it.

My son, Matthew, thinks the zipline should run horizontally too. I think it'd be amazing if Conan zipped in the buff!

Hey Conan! Why not pimp out your ho band members? I would love to see Max, La Bamba & others dressed scantily on the street corners of NYC. It wouldn't have to be scripted. Just put 'em out & let the cameras roll!
Keep up the good work!
Jan Caldwell
Camden, AR

You should zipline and shoot a a fake animal (or Pender) with a net gun!

Conan,

I have a vision! If we're gonna be bad ass about this then the band needs to play the Oooooooh yeah, bow-bow chicka chicka song from Ferris Buehler's Day Off. That's number one.

Number two, Conan, you're lookin way too formal in that shirt and tie bro. This occasion calls for a tuxedo t-shirt and some ripped up acid-washed jeans. The kind like Joe Elliott from Def Leppard wore in that Pour Some Sugar on Me video. And to top it off and skull shaped like a skull.

Thirdly, as your rocket down the zip line the one thing that stands between you and glory is none other than William Shatner!

After knocking Captain Kirk out of the way you land splash into a kiddie pool filled to the top with Jagermeister!

Then LIGHT SHOW!!!!

I'll be back shortly with storyboards.

You're Conan O'Brien! You can make this happen!!!!

Hey Conan it's Matt from Cleveland, Ohio. How about a big ring that is covered
with a banner that is elevated above the ground..and you bust through it while
going down the zipline...similar to like what high school athletes run through
when they enter the court or field.

Hope it helps, Matt

PS how about a ring spin!!!!!

Conan, you should be in a Gene Simmons mask, with a pogostick in between your legs. As you come down you will break through a chain of monkeys from "a barrel of monkeys" bounce on the pogostick and then either land in your chair elagantely or go through an obstacle course

ur smoke helmet should shoot sparks of fire while ur riding the little girls bike in the air to the stage while the band plays master of puppets

Wear a suit as usual, but put on a denim jacket with the US flag and glowsticks embroidered into it, and the smoke helmet, modified to have multiple jets pointing in every direction. At the end, instead of a soft landing, crash through a large Soviet flag. At this point, cut the lights, drop an even larger US flag from the ceiling, take off the jacket, and assume the "American Hero" pose in front of the flag. Multiple attractive female swimsuit models should also arrive on stage. Set off as many fireworks as are practicable, bring the lights back up, and drop confetti and balloons from the ceiling while Max and the band play "The Stars and Stripes Forever." After several seconds, cue the German light show.

My suggestion is that Conan ride down the zip line with a baby keg of Heineken under one arm, and a bongo between his legs. 1/3 of the way down the line, crash through a sheet of blue raspberry frozen kool-aid and land in a vat of maker's mark whiskey.
Soundtrack: This is How We Do It by Montell Jordan

Conan needs to ride tandem with Chuck Norris. Perhaps with cowboy hats, outfit. guns, etc. Norris is the excitement, O'Brien the entertainment.

Conan, you need to dress up like Rambo and carry a fake gun on your way down and shoot Max and La Bamba, while explosive sound effects are going off like WWII and deff do a barrel roll at the end, which then the laser light show turns on and and you dance like the Thriller zombies.

Have a bear possiblly the masterbating bear chase conan down the stairs or a guy in a bear suit holding sparklers. Have conan wear cowboy type stirups and the when he gets to the bottom he can crash through a wall of fake bricks.I also think max should zip line down the other side. A ninja can chase him. Then Conan will look into the camera and stroke his beard proving that he is all that is man. Right along with Chuck Norris and Jerimiah Johnson.

Myabe have the lasers going while all this is happening. The lasers with the smoke will look good. Have fake spiders on the wall where conan will crash through. They will be pointing lasers at him and waiting to strike and he can see if he makes it through.

=D

Sincerly

Hidelgo, The man from under the late night stands.

Into an enormous cube of jello, and then find a red flag placed there (just line in double dare). Then pick the big nose for the flag and search through the enormously wasteful PB & J sandwich. Finally, smack Bea Arthur in the face and try to beat 2 minutes in time.

i really think you need lots of silly string.no i mean alot at least 2 cans per audience member now that is funny.

Conan should wear Leather Chaps and an Indian Head-Dress while Zip-Lining to the Village People's "Macho Man" and crashing into a wall of bubble wrap followed by an Irish jig on top of the bubble wrap

Conan needs to wear ny giants strahan jersey and a crash through a stage size cutout of Brett Favre!!! GO GIANTS!!

TYMPANI SOLO!!!!!!

It begins with an explosion on a green screen behind Conan. He grabs the zip line to escape while wearing his cape, roller skates, and a helmet that has 2 smoke nozzles on it. He flys down the zip line to dramatic escape music. On the way down he goes through the ring of lasers, a duck, and a pit of sporks. On the stage there is a target and the guys running the ropes get a prize if they get Conan to land on the bullseye.
Here is an awesome drawing to explain.
http://iansouter.com/brain/images/conan_zip_line.jpg

I was thinkin maybe a flouresent suit and black lights? and if you want to zip thru some flames,maybe the stage hands can come out and hold lighters under you while you go by??

Conan

You should wear the phantom of the opera costum with techno playing in the background. oh and crash in to some gaint bowling pins.

Dear Conan,

4 Words

INFLATABLE SUMO WRESTLER COSTUME

I love you conan!!!

The band should play the theme to scorpio and a black hole should be animated near the desk and conan should go through it and into the arms of Jeff Goldblum.

First conan should go down the zipline wearing a speedo with a huge C on his butt while wearing a cape! and huge glasses, with sparklers coming out of the handles as he slides down the zipline, conan should fall safely onto a Horny manatee as the german disco light show goes off

in a bikini singing she bangs by ricky martin

Put decals on the helmet. I recommend Care Bears.

Place sparklers on the helmet; play a kazoo; hold water in your mouth; and have streamers hanging off an awesome daredevil suit. If sparklers can't be used, harness kittens to your chest and back. Everyone loves kittens! And while you're sliding down, people can hit you with silly string.

Attach a hoop to your helmet and see if someone can throw a Nerf object in it, and they can win a prize. Prize can be either good or bad :)

spin the ring, run up the stairs, zipline back down before it stops. the german light show wouldn't hurt.

dress up like batman and race max dressed as robin.

Conan should dress as Evil Kneival (helmet, cape, flashnyness) and ride a minibike down the hall to the zipline, and then grab the zipline and jump off the bike.

zip through an outdoor segment for the Today show...

Susan

Going nerd on you. Have Princess Leia run down, shooting Storm Troopers; Conan embraces her and kicks down Darth Vader at the end.

1. Finish Line
2. Aerodynamic Suit
3. Awesome Banners (where were you when conan zipped)
4. Larry King voiceover
5. Grand Finale (maybe confetti)
6. Slo-Mo highlightes
7. Light Show after party

Conan could burst through a large picture of the lovable, happy go lucky Al Roker, or the Governator, Arnold Schwarzenegger. With permission of course.

Well I was sitting around trying to figure this one out, and I thought back to my childhood, Conan, if you want to crash through something that would make a big mess, stack up a bunch of apple pie boxes from McDonalds. When I was a young boy my friends and I saved up the 219 pie boxes and set them up at the end of our ramp and jumped our bike through them. Biking and Jipline... there one in the same.

dress up as a lady in your sunday best and swing down to meet your guest who is also dressed up in drag for a sweet little tea party..n then add booze to your drinks tee hee hee

drape conan in velvet and let the crowd throw stuffed bananas at him.

have conan's fellow nerds line the aisleways and create a high-five line.

have max join conan on his back while singing Born to Run.

pick a random out of the crowd and have him/her catch conan at the end of a rope and carry him throughout the studio

either that or do it naked.

Wear a cape while kicking bad guy in black and white striped shirts with words like pow, zoom, and bang appearing on screen, finally have cheerleaders at the bottom cheering you on.

Dress as Indian Jones (hat, whip, vest) and zipline down as a big boulder rolls after you. When you get to the bottom, Max jumps out from behind your desk to impail you with his drumbsticks...but you knock him out with a dramatic punch to the head. And then you could do it in reverse...slow motion style!

Either that...or have a live monkey on your back.

For the zipline...since its so slow...I think Conan should work with that speed or even slow it down a little more, and do a little karate kid tribute.. Dress in a karate gui, while "I am the man who will fight for your honor..." plays.. meanwhile the audience plays those little chinese drums from the movie.. and a dragon dances on stage. fortune cookies fall from above onto the audience,,,,and he glides down..and rescues a helpless woman held hostage by a man with a ridiculously long beard and sinister glare..:)

you need to include the american gladiators and try to knock them off the platform

or the other thing is to use the worlds strongest redneck as something to knock into at the end of the run

german disco as conan makes his way from the stage. at the top, strap guitar on back, stop light show, one spot light on conan as he zips down to the sound of a Tarzan yell and then procedes to the bandstand to do the "big in japan" honkeytonk!!!

Streamers on handle bars of zip-line, check. Flame decals on smoke helmet, check. Max playing "Danger Zone" as jet audio blares, check. Cape, check. Kiddie pool with baby alligators, check. Then, when zip-line is complete, Conan gets shot in the chest a la Chuck Norris proposing, while Max rushes to Conan's lifeless corpse and screams into overhead receding crane shot, a la "Stamos!", WHYYYYYYYY!

Bollocks to the copyright disclaimer but still:

Smoke helmet, Air Force pilot jump suit, entirely too small red cape.. however.. you must add –two- zip line stuntmen:

Max, is on the front zip line, towing Conan towards the desk, Max, for some odd and random reason, is wearing a chicken costume.

The band plays run, run Rudolph, with Pender singing altered lyrics along the lines of “run, run, Weinberg, Conan’s gotta make it to town.”

And even toss those German disco lights, or possibly some epic 'i won the battle' music, upon touchdown.

Conan should go down the zipline in a cape and his helmet, on the sides of the zipline along the audience will be the fake paper flames that are blown up by air, adding to the danger under him on the stairs will be plenty of cardboard spikes, before he goes down the foo fighters song Hero will start playing so when he's going down the verse "there goes my hero will be playing," when he gets to the bottom he can burst through giant paper flames, or a sheet of paper with flames on it being held up by Max and La Bamba. End with standing ovation and usual Conan antics. That just happened.

Conan should hold a uni-cycle between his legs with a clown suite on, then ride away on it once he lands.

First off, you need to switch from a bar to hold onto, to a harness, so he's flying forward arms extended like Superman. Next, he needs boots/shoes that expel either fire, or smoke, or sparkler things. Go with the ring of fire if possible; if not, use rings with breakable paper in it, so Conan can bust through. On the paper, you could draw either celebs, as someone mentioned earlier, or villians, or something like a brick wall. The lights should be off, and a spotlight following Conan. Hard rocking music playing; probably '80s style, like the Scorpions, Europe, or Survivor. When Conan reaches the bottom, there should be pyrotechnics (probably using a lot of smoke), maybe even the techno lights. From there, he is taken off the harness, and possibly taken to his desk by beutiful women; he could either borrow some 'Deal or No Deal' models, or use some of the NBC interns, who've looked quite lovely in the past. Also, before he starts, Conan needs to have a deep booming voice announcing his 'stunt,' like a wrestling or monster truck rally announcer. Joel could probably do this, and you could milk a shot or two of him with a big toothy grin....Costumes and capes do sound good, as well.

Conan and the band should play a game of dodgeball, and Conan should make a joke about Labamba regarding a prostate exam.

first idea.... have conan dress up as a famous football star... such as tom brady... and have him stiff arm his way through a bunch of defenders on his way onto stage...

second idea... have him dress up as "bartman" with the purple cape and mask... as he gets onto stage, have a couch on stage to imitate the beginning to the simpsons... with fake ass looking versions of the simpsons sitting on the couch...

Conan will never be the same if he goes down backwards in bright yellow or purple lycra pants with a pink ruffle tootoo, completely shirtless, a huge black afro wig, screaming "Who's Your Daddy". The kicker: a Michael Jackson silver glove for one of his hands (an iced out colossal chain up against his beautiful chest would work too)! His landing will initiate the light show where he does the moonwalk to his desk. LOL!!!! Go Conan!

Conan should go on the zip line in an cape and at the end he land into a pool of water, or jello. Now that would be great!

Instead of the bar, he could have a stripper pole and instead of Conan, maybe a stripper.

Start by replacing the zip line with a net swing or seating device. Have the audience all wear cat masks, then dress Conan up like Jon Arbuckle. Put Conan in the swing and have NBC's American Gladiators send him down the incline barreling feet first towards someone in a Garfield costume wearing a Jim Davis mask. Eventually Conan will collide with Garfield sending him flying through an alternating pyramid of pans of lasagna and copies of "Crime & Punishment".

Once Garfield is down, Conan will peel off his Jon outfit to show him in a Marcel Duchamp Tshirt. Doc from "Back to the Future" will come out and accompany Conan, Max and the band on Keyboard to a rendition of one of these three songs:

"Things Can Only Get Better" by Howard Jones.

"Life During Wartime" by the Talking Heads.

or

any song by Devo.

Bring Elian Gonzalez, Ted Danson, or maybe even the entire cast of Three Men and a Baby. End by lowering a red curtain on the stage.

"Walker" Cutouts = Domino effect
Conan zips down the line taking out the cutouts, lined up on the steps. With each 'hit' add a 'Batman comic' style "Pow" "Bam" "Zing!"

Conan..have a woman in distress and Conardo the super hero ziplines down and drop kicks either chuck norris or Max, whom plays the bad man. and then start speakin spanish! thats all

1. TARZAN COSTUME WITH SMOKING HELMET AND JUNGLE PORN MUSIC

2. UPSIDE DOWN

3. HAVE A DESIGNATED AUDIENCE MEMBER TRY AND HIT HIM WITH SOMETHING ON THE WAY DOWN

4. ZIP LINE + GERMAN LIGHT SHOW

Zasquatch is coming! Conan knows it! You should know it too!!!!!

http://www.zasquatch.com

Be Aware and beware!!

Conan, why not ask audience members to volunteer to line up and lay down underneath the zip line so you can fly over them?

Also why not wear some sort of helmet camera so we can get a 1st hand view of you flying?

You definately need to let go before you get to the bottom, so you can go flying into something. A photo of my idea is at the url. Clearly, not a real tiger. :)

GREATEST IDEA YET:

To zip up the zip line, Conan needs to wear a Tarzan costume. Or, in case of copyright concerns, a "Jungle Man" costume.

If you can get permission, play the GEORGE OF THE JUNGLE theme song, and end by crashing into a foam tree on stage.

After all...

LADIES LOVE A JUNGLE MAN...
Right Ladies?

Conan should put on a leprechaun costume. The band should play celtic music. There should be an over sized pot with fake gold coins on the stage for him to land beside. He should shout out random irish sayins as he glides towards the stage.

Here is my idea of how you can improve it in these ten simple steps.

1. The zip line handles need streamers on each end like those found on a little girl’s bike.

2. The zip line handle needs pin wheels attached to the front.

3. Conan wears a Richard Nixon mask.

4. Conan is dressed up in his rockabilly clothes and wearing ski boots.

5. The floor has landing lights on it leading up to where he will set down.

6. Conan zip lines down and lands on a small pedestal where his is given one of those American Gladiator style sticks with cushions on the ends and must do battle with a Manatee who is wearing a hockey mask with a French beret and is also standing on a small pedestal, and both small pedestals are each centered in a kiddy pool filled red water and toy sharks in them.

7. This should all be accompanied by a choir seen in the background singing dramatic fear inspiring music reminiscent of music heard from such movies as ‘The Omen’.

8. After winning his epic battle against the Manatee all music should stop and then Conan should unmask himself and look straight into the camera as he bellows a Godzilla like scream and his eyes turn red.

9. Then cut to an image of the world as its hit by purple lightning and explodes into green flames and white doves fly from the explosion.

10. While this entire thing is happening from start to finish there should be subtitles on the bottom of the screen providing a tasty recipe for making some spicy chili.

and by Indian Jones I mean Indiana and by drumbsticks I mean drumsticks!

Conan should be wearing a spaceship that fits around his waist and then the Max Weinberg 7 fight him with stereotypical space guns then he is saved by Brian Williams and then...light show... Naturally

the dark avenger strikes agian!

dear conan i think your show is really great. and i think you should go down the zip line with that helment smoke thing, while dressed up as the conan in pale force, while a bag of ducks is on your back.us

Conan should ride the zip line and the Burger King Guy should tackle him as the NFL Films music plays in the background or he should ride over the Rainbow into a pot of gold full of Lucky Charms as he shouts "you'll never get me Lucky Charms"

Zip line needs streamers..

The picture is pretty much self-explanatory.

Zip-Line through a wall of fog...and then run to your desk and drive your desk away before the evil people catch you!

And throw in the masturbating bear. For ratings of course.

Conan, I think when you land something should explode, posssibly the couch, and larry king should make a comment. Maybe throw in some german disco lights too

heres how it works:
simply, you go down the zipline and you are in a different time era.
then when you go back up you are back in present time with the audience.

here is what to do:
darken the room and play futuristic music so that when conan reaches the bottom he is in different time dimension

IDEAS:

go a little bit into the past and
when he reaches the bottom say its 1990, but he thinks nothing has changed but then have conan look over to see a women playing drums saying that it is max weinburg from 1990.

go into the future to 2010 and when he reaches the bottom have everything on his stage covered up and boxes around which shows that without the writers he will be off the air by then due to skits like this in the monologue.

go back to the late 60s and when conan gets to the bottom he has the sudden urge to want to play his acoustic guitar and he plays a song about peace with really cheesy lyrics and all that stuff.

those are just a few quick ones.
come up with some on your own.

its brilliant, i know.
use this. it would be awesome.

Conan could crash into or on the band. Possibily flattening labamba

Conan I think you should dress up like a leprechaun while doing this stunt. Add the German light show for the green effect. At the end, fall into a huge pool of Guiness Beer.

hah! love you! just got a tattoo of you! lol

Conan, get yourself an Evel Knievel style jump suit, complete in red, white and blue with excessive fringes. Then set up a croc pool to fly over while they're snapping at your heels... In lacking crocs replace with virile racoons and\or 'Pound Puppies' staring blankly at your heels. A real Zip-line would be cooler too, but hey. Hmmm, oh, and meanwhile Pender could be singing Bliving Don de Ledge (wouldnt want to violate no terms). The smoke helmet is good in idea, but could be better, I would rig a can of whipped cream to the helmet that leave a whipped trail of cream behind... there is sooo much more but you dont wanna over-do it.

He should zip-line down to the desk, jump behind it and then take off in a high speed chase.

He hasn't taken old Bessy-Lou out for a drive in a while.

do it naked

Conan picks an audience member, dresses them in a matching beard (ZZ Top length, due to the length of the strike). Like the driving desk, Conan and the audience member fly on the zip line (not actual zip line) through various cityscapes and other driving desk locales. At the end of the sketch, Conan will actually fly in on the zip line over the audience. I would call the sketch the "ZZ zipline Audience Caper." (maybe a few words less...)

Conan-

You should wear a suit from pale force and crash through a stack of tanning lotion bottles stacked up.. while playing michael jackson thriller or bad!

Here is diagram

http://stevenpolley.com

Conan should zip down the line wearing a Velcro suit and at the bottom, drop on a mini trampoline and bounce up onto a Velcro wall.

I think it would be sweet if you did the german disco thing while going down the zipline while pier bernard talks about how nbc sucks.

First of all use a real zip line instead of being lowered in. Start the line out of sight behind the crowd. Dim the lights, put a spot light on a paper wall that says "Late Night with Conan O'brien", have Max do a bangin' drum roll, and then burst through the wall on the zipline and ride it down to the stage where you can do your lanky Conan Dance. It will be a great start for the show.

http://s268.photobucket.com/albums/jj25/ChillinWill32_photos/

you should zipline into a secret curtain that takes you back in time to when you had writers whooo haa

First, the band starts playing bad to the bone. You walk through smoke behind the crowd with lit sparklers all around the helmet. Possibly have some stupid looking wings or even wear a leather jacket just to look like a bad ass. Go down the zip line, crash into something and when you reach that point, have a small array of fireworks go off behind your desk.

If you drag this out to Feb 2 you can do a Groundhogs Day theme and if you land where you can see your shadow that can determine that Bush will not stay in office for another term. Wow... I'm clearly tired!

http://s268.photobucket.com/albums/jj25/ChillinWill32_photos/

Conan could dress like a pinata and the audience could swing foam sticks (like the swimming pool floats or nerf bats).

Or he could just show us his stamp collection.

let's say you start the show and your outside, maybe talking to someone or something, and all of a sudden you hear a helicopter. you look up and see it landing with these guys in ninja costumes or spy suits, whatever, come out after you. you duck into the studio and they follow you. there are little chase scenes and stuff. you randomly turn a corner and you are suddenly in some kind of super hero costume. you get into a fight with one of the spy/ninja guys and it ends with you flying down through the addience on the zip line with a fake wall with a window infront of your desk and you crash through the window.

p.s. i came up with this crap listening to pink floyd's "another brick in the wall prt. 2"

A NBCNews member is set up as a narrator, he announces the event and the lights are dimmed a little, At the top he gets dressed in a chicken suit, Still with some lights (so he doesn’t get hurt) laser effects are used on both sides of the stairs creating the illusion of a landing road, then camera shows at the bottom big inflatable bowling cones under a green or blue light and surrounded by smoke. Conan is shown again preparing with a drum death penalty solo playing, (Labamba faints from the tension and anticipation). He takes the zip line's bar and with some momentum rapidly slides and strikes down the cones.

This is what television would be like it Gonzo from the Muppets had a talk show...I love it. You should have Gonzo on to help and give stunt tips.

OK SO

Conan is being chased by multiple villains (lava men?)

He's dressed like Indiana Jones/ general adventurously styled man.

and the stairs and the base before the leto deck are hot lava (or magma depending on whether or not the studio is the inside of a volcano) (which is to be determined)

The zip line is disguised as a vine

conan gets to the zip line just in time before the magma/lava/?-men attack him.

Conan, with dagger in teeth, rides the zip line over the lava and lands by Bessealew, and the magma men melt into their natural magma like state into the stairs.

Oh and Conan saving some sort of "damsel in distress" (maybe a guest?) is optional depending on if its safe for two people to be on the zip line. But that would be pretty cool too.

well, your welcome

Have a women who is going in to labor and needs a doc. Any doctors in the house she screams. Then from the Zip line comes Doc. Conan. The set turns in to an ER room and out comes the German lightshow baby.

Dang, over 600 posts already. I think there's a lot of good ideas here already. Can't believe there are so many stupid suggestions here.

As you already know, you wanna gradually build this up to the grand finally on Friday. So I think you should do something similar to this, in whatever order you think will be best:

Tuesday - Disco Zipline - Have the German Disco Light show in the background while zipping down (since that's a big crowd pleaser).

Wednesday - Arrow Zipline - Wear one of those Native American feathered hats, have a giant paper target at the end held up by 2 people, and go as straight as possible and go through the center of the target like an arrow going through a target.

Thursday - Superhero zipline - Wear a cape and a superhero custoume, line up a bunch of those paper criminals with guns (police use these for target practice), and run through them all.

Friday - Grand Finally - Have yourself fly through and land in a giant pool filled with rubber duckies (no water so you won't mess anything up). Also, have all the max Wienberg 7 members go on it doing different things (plenty of "usable" ideas on this forum)

If it's within the show's rights, I think he and his fellow Pale Force member Jim Gaffigan should jump out of the window of a burning building wearing they're Pale Force costumes!

Conan needs a REASON to go on a zip-line. And the only reason why TV characters go on zip-lines is to escape from something. Like crazy Amazons. Or bears. Or zombies. Or killer robots. Or all of the above.

I have included a drawing to illustrate the awesomeness of this:

http://i16.tinypic.com/6o4835x.jpg

Epic music would only enhance this. Think Hans Zimmer.

Hey definetly shirtless with a cape and the helmut and then have a scene where one of the big stuffed animals is fighting abe lincoln, and you use the zip line and dive on the animal. Pure Vintage Conan

vomiting kermit should go duwn the line

revision:
simply incorporate the german light show (accompanied with crazy german house music) as conan propels downward onto the stage and there upon he begins to breakdown some phenomenal techno dance moves..... two birds with one stone

But in addition, on stage waiting to dance with conan should be will ferrell in his leprechaun speedo outfit and maybe james lipton and of course the masturbating bear, who will all combine to form the greatest german light show dance party ever

1) There should be green spotlights.

2)Have Joel Ride a young Asian boy down first to herald Conan's arrival.

1. Horny Manatee on the zip line.

2. Cut out clips of the Sex Dr.'s odd noises and sounds and play them as Conan flies. "Whampa-whampa, donga-donga, click-click, whooooo!"
She sounded like the crazy pigeon lady from the park.

The zip line should be faster. It seems like it slows down half way through which looks jerky and not as good a fast swift movement. Because of the small space it should be rigged so that he can get as much initial momentum as possible. The setup now is adequate but for optimum speed more weight should be added to the pulley so that when it is released Conan will go faster right from the start. If Conan is up for it, it should go as fast as possible which seems more like he expected.

Smoke helmet is good but should look more like the "Rocketeer" helmet and should shoot out colored smoke like black or red.

The zip line should end with an impressive feat like jumping off and karate kicking a dummy. Another idea for the end would be staging a short battle old school Batman style with sound effects "Bang" and "Pow."

Finally add a few extra colored lights quickly flickering on and off during the zip line.

My 3 year old LOVES YOU CONAN! She wants you in a bathing suit (I say an old style mens swim suit with a bathing cap...protect the hair man!)
landing in a pool of chocolate syrup.
My mom suggests you in a cupid outfit, landing in a tub of candy hearts...and the horney manatee, of course.
!!!!!!WE LOVE YOU CONAN!!!!!

fly right into a razor. and cut your F-ing beard you lumberjack

GO GIANTS WOOT WOOT

Better Yet. Dress up as Batman with Christian Bale there and Brian Williams. Christian Bale is Batman stunt double (no affence) and Brian Williams with "Breaking News" from outside the studio. Hopefully Christian Bale will be a guest on the show to promote "The Dark Knight" followed by Heath Ledger as "The Joker". I'm down in Homestead, Fl.

Have Jordan Schlansky whip at you with his bull whip as you go up the zip line, then put on the helmet and a cape(made from the multi-purpose costume that's been used for jabba-the-hut and other crap) and go back down, landing on and thus defeating Jordan. Have suzie time it all and then celebrate your new-found success/glory with some wine chosen by Jordan and confetti. And I suppose add the german disco lights while members of the staff play the music for it all using the Rock Band game.

Wear a propeller hat with a blue jupmsuit and a small red cape. With a strobe light and smoke. Then comes down to the band with a sign that says worlds greatest stun man? Also to the song i belive i can fly playing.

Green-scre
