"Usually, you're told things at the very last second... Yoko Ono was on our show in the 90's. And I remembered the band is playing. They came out and they said, "she's going to bring a bag out.

So Yoko, I remembered her kind of daring me to get into this bag with her. And I think she thought, "well, the uptight talk show host isn't gonna do it." And I said, "let's go!" And I get in the bag. And so I'm in a bag with Yoko Ono. And then she whispered to me, "we both have to hand out a piece of clothing. So I took off a shoe and handed it out. And she took off her shoe and handed it out... Then I was like "we need to keep going." And she's like, "No. No. Just the shoe." And I'm like, "Oh no. You may know how avante-garde art works. I know how comedy works. More clothes have to come out." She didn't do it. But I just started handing out more clothes. And it was happening in the bag. And then I step out. And I think she was like, "Oh my god. This is not what I thought was going to happen." That was a huge moment, for me, anyway. (It was probably her ninth bag of the day)." -Conan Obrien, Inside Conan: An Important Hollywood Podcast, 2021-10-22
I absolutely love how Conan was totally willing to go along with this bizarre art experiment. I can't imagine a guest segment on a talk show ever doing anything like this anymore. It's almost like something that would have appeared as a sketch as a comedy piece, but the fact that Yoko Ono apparently wanted this to be part of her interview makes this even more hilarious.
Just so you know- this is called ‘Bagism’ and is a satirical form of prejudice created by Yoko ono & John Lennon in the late 60’s as part of their peace campaign. The idea is “by living in a bag, a person cannot be judged by prejudice or appearance”.
@@euan7166 what did you come up with that’s so much more brilliant?? “Bagism” is totally logical. Freak the press out, make them think outside the box. It worked in that respect. Just a way of fucking with the squares. If you don’t get it maybe you’re one of them which is fine, nothing wrong with squares, nothing wrong with bagism either. It’s all part of the diversity that makes up humanity. Otherwise it would all be way too boring
I feel like Yoko's schtick has been to be a bit uneasy to be around. She's always played around with it, and I must say she's really rather good at it. She's the proto-Aubrey Plaza in some strange way. However, I feel like she was outmatched by Conan's silliness, and couldn't quite cope, which again made for a really strange chemistry. When she refused him the glasses at the end it sort of clicked how her artsy mysterious persona and his goofy quirky persona really don't mix. Like they are a part of different races. Yoko being a rock, Conan a big tall tree.
@@joseluisruiz5600 I enjoy some of her songs, and she has made some alright art. She is more than what meets the eye I think. But she's not easy to like, or enjoy, and I think she's very aware of that persona.
She called him "a conservative person", meaning that he comes across as a reserved and maybe kind of an anxious/ uptight person in some ways. I don't think she meant it politically.

The play "Hiroshima", a tribute to the victims of the first atomic bomb, with music and singing by Yoko Ono, opened in New York City this week. One tearful Japanese survivor of the attack, who attended the premiere, called the play, quote, "the most horrifying experience of my life." - Norm Macdonald
Mimi also said something about Yoko being a "him". I read this somewhere. Maybe Yoko is a guy! Stands to reason why you never saw Lennon and JOKO even kiss in public...
Joko Ono - Its a known fact that she was Lennon's Heroin supplier and Handler AND, of course, a Home-Wrecker. A woman of low moral character! She exploited the Lennon name for her own financial gain. It wouldnt surprise me she was involved in his Deletion in 80'!
I remember watching this when it first aired. The Beatles was such an intrinsic part of my youth that there is vert little that can be done to besmirch their image.
@@imserious1646 no, “walking on Thin Ice” Is a classic. Perhaps Yoko’s greatest song ever, featuring a WICKED Guitar solo from John Lennon, the last music he ever recorded
Honestly, as someone who isn't a big fan of Yoko... I enjoyed it. And I could see how this would be a beautiful performance art piece in the right museum setting. And that it would likely get a lot less criticism if done by someone more liked (or at least less known) than Yoko.
The funniest Yoko Ono clip is her and John performing with Chuck Berry and she lets out this awful scream that ruins the music and the look on Chuck Berry's face is like "are you serious?"
I guess it's just nonsense to give Conan an opportunity to make some freaky jokes. LOL! But yeah, they need to do a "Behind the Nonsense" segment to explain this!

I am have always loved hearing a women scream for hours on end. Now 50 years later we have come to embrace the beauty of a women yelling - so sweet
She was showing Conan the experience of listening to her singing voice. The feeling of being trapped in a cramp suffocating bag with Yoko Ono.
bahahahahahaha underrated comment
I've been saying for years how fun and creative yoko is. No wonder john loved her. Hope conan enjoyed this. ❤
