    No wonder why Christopher like Ireland, is a beautiful country with green farmland. He loves to go there to meet his friends with his cowbell around his neck playing beautiful music with his other cowbell friends, the cows. Did you ever saw Julie Andrews singing and dancing around on the green land shooting a movie called, "The Sound of Music", well, Christopher Walken singing and dancing around on the green farmland shooting a movie called, "The Sound of Cowbells" with the cows along with the cowpies on the ground wearing Muhammad

    "more cowbell" is such an absurd thing to say and to have walken saying it just takes it to a whole new level .

    Merry Christmas, Conan. The one Christmas gift I can give to you is my view that next to Johnny, you always gave the best interviews. Your instinctive wit always shined to compliment your guests. All the best. We Irish always like a rhyme! :^)

    Hey! Since Conan's moving do you think TBS will put "Lopez Tonight" back on?

    Love Christopher Walken! Not the best interview I’ve seen with him but live seeing him anytime. Some nights I will watch a marathon of his movies. He’s awesome

      I think the awkwardness of doing it through the computer threw things off a bit. Plus there's always that slight delay.

    I know he's done more prestigious work but my favorites of the few movies starring him that I've seen is the Prophecy series. Just brilliant and bone chilling. I really love this man. He's cool with no effort whatsoever.
