      In another universe he probably portrayed one of those and Reeve is a politician and weird alternative stuff like that

    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! :^)

    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.

      Really is. If you compare this interview to the other late shows on Christopher's latest press tour its clear to all that Conan is GOAT.

    “Meet The Reaper” sounds like a 50s sitcom gone dark 😅

    I never realized, until recently, what a great sense of humor Christopher Walken has. He’s played so many ‘spooky’, mean characters in movies.....he’s a great actor...and, yet, he’s so down to earth, funny, great dancer and cute too! 🥰

    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.

    Max Zorin from A View to a Kill was like a microchip producer/distributor and loved computers. He was played by Christopher Walken.
