I'm watching the Conan O'Brien show. It's an interview with some actor named Martin Smith, kind a of leading man type, tall, short black hair.
Conan: In other news, I hear you're a father now!
[applause]
Conan: Congratulations!
Smith: Thanks, thanks. It's... yeah. It's a boy.
Conan: What did you call him?
Smith: His name is Conan Fitzgerald Smith.
[wild applause]
Conan: Well, I... I'm honored-
Smith: You should be!
Conan: But, that's not... That's not something you inflict on a child! I should know!
[laughter]
Smith: Hey, don't put it down, it's a good, solid old name!
Conan: Come to think of it, now that you endorse it, maybe it'll get more popular. This may be a good thing for me!
Smith: Yeah, it's a shame the hospital staff didn't think so.
Conan: What do you mean?
Smith: Actually, my son isn't named Conan yet. The nurse just brought back the forms, and said they didn't allow that kind of name.
Conan: What?
Smith: She said it was shameful to give a weird or silly name to a child and that the hospital rules didn't allow it.
[laughter]
Conan: That's... that's... wow. I mean, I understand her point, but-
Smith: Normally I'm not the kind of guy to take that lying down, but we were both exhausted, my wife was in labor for almost fifteen hours, and I had just become, you know, a father. I didn't feel like duking it out. We could always change it later, that can be done.
Conan: So what did you do?
Smith: I took the forms, and, I don't know, I wrote the first, the first syllables that came to mind. I didn't pay attention, I was tired, and it didn't actually matter.
Conan: So what's his name?
Smith: *sigh, nervous laughter*
Conan: Out with it, man!
Smith: My baby's name is Koth Thorbot.
[laughter]
Smith: I know! I don't know what my problem is!
Conan: What!? Koth Thorbot?
Smith: Koth Thorbot!
Conan: That's... yeah! Wow!
Smith: I'm sorry, son. We'll get that fixed, they have to let us fix it.
[laughter]
Conan: What gets me is that Conan was rejected, but they let Koth Thorbot pass.
[raucous laughter]
Smith: Look, I don't know what to tell you.
Conan: I think I have to change my name to Koth Thorbot now. Maybe we could arrange a trade.
Smith: Haha, no man, you don't have to do that!
Conan: Alright well, that's all the time we have. Thanks for dropping by, Martin!
[applause]
Smith: No problem, anytime.
Conan: Up next, Courtney Costanza! Stay tuned, folks!
The title card comes up: "The Dream Time Show with Conan O'Brien Koth Thorbot". I wake up before the commercials air.
