Summary

Filmmaker Werner Herzog feels elevated, weightless about being Conan O’Brien’s friend. Werner sits down with Conan once more to discuss his latest documentary The Future of Truth, finally acquiring a cell phone, how knowing hunger at a young age taught him to reject consumer culture, and a near-death experience involving a tarantula. Later, Sona’s dog Oki makes a welcome visit to the studio. For Conan videos, tour dates and more visit TeamCoco.com. Got a question for Conan? Call our voicemail: (669) 587-2847.
