Youtube.com had one, but the link that was posted on BA now says the video was removed due to copyright infringement. Any others out there?

Cheers!

good read on MJ's site about the visit and if I find anything I'll post here about it.

Are you sure that's current? The date at the bottom was from '98. I don't think I've seen the Beerhunter site updated in forever.

May not be. MJ has done late night spots before. Could be old.

Cheers!

Yes, it's old. As is everything on MJ's site. I've read that article a few times already.

The show two weeks ago was must-see tv. I'm not sure if I think he did well or tanked (I keep changing my mind), but for starters his fly was unzipped. Conan pointed it out, which was a nice segue for MJ to ask him if he wanted a Golden Shower. Funny stuff, but I don't think it was his best performance overall.

I didn't see the show, but I saw the video clip and something didn't seem quite right to me. I have watched MJ on TV before and in the Beer Hunter series on Discovery. I have not had the pleasure of seeing him in person. He didn't seem quite the same and I realize he is older now. I do not think he would be inebriated on TV , but his mannerisms seemed labored. I hope I'm wrong but the lack of new material in print makes me wonder if something is not wrong medically. Hopefully someone can prove me wrong on this point.

I have located an episode of the entire show. Once I get it edited down I will post to my personal webspace and drop the link here. :D

Yes, I'm that guy... the one who can find anything on the internet.

OK, it was gonna be way to big for me to edit down and host so here's a link to download a Torrent. If you are not familiar with Torrents you'll need an application such as
BitTorrent (http://www.bittorrent.com/) to open and begin the file download. It's a 345MB AVI file of the entire show.

link (http://www.torrentspy.com/torrent/676905/Conan_O_Brien_04_05_06_2208_Wednesday_HDTV_XviD)
then click on "download torrent"

Enjoy! :D

allright i had a chance at lunch to watch the show and it sure does appear that MJ is a bit tipsy. On the other hand, as a talk-show with a comedian host goes it was pretty darn funny. Of course there's no respect for the man whatsoever.

I gotta say though that the bit with Jon Lovitz was pretty hilarious too.

I saw MJ last month at a private tasting. He is looking a little long in the tooth these days. But he is 64 or 65. I always enjoy his tastings. This one was being filmed for future broadcast.

Wow, Mr Jackson's been writing about beer since before I was born (1975). Hey now, my dad is 63, is he long in the tooth? I hope not... Well, a lifetime of whisky and beer tasting for a living can't be that great on the ol' guy...

By the way, I'm downloading the Conan show as I type this. It isn't going very fast; only about 25Kb/s.

EDIT: I've just watched Michael Jackson's part. First, he's aged a lot. He might be inebriated, but he moves his head like a friend who has Parkinson's. But more importantly, I have to say, his knowledge, his lifetime devoted to beer, has been sort of turned into a joke on Conan's show. "What do you look for in a beer?" "Taste" followed by a laugh. Conan drinks DFH Golden Shower and says, "yep, that's beer". Nice insult. All the boos Michael got for saying Corona is his least favorite beer! Everything he does, writes about, his livelihood, was totally shat upon. He and what he stands for means nothing to the people who watch this show, which is a lot of people. This is getting me down, man.

And Corona is piss, in case it hasn't been clarified.
