On May 17th, Conan ran across Wrigley being chased by security guards. He used it in his open of the Tonight Show last night. I thought it was pretty hilarious. FF to 2:00 to see it, but the whole open is pretty good.
Good luck Conan... you rock!

Pretty hilarious.
Great song, too.
I've committed to tweeting about the Cubs for the rest of the season. (Does that sound as ridiculous as I think it does?) Anyway, if you're on Twitter, you can follow me here.
I think Al mentioned something about this a few weeks ago.
I loved it. Conan’s great. Problem is, I love Dave & Conan…and am glad to see Jay gone. Which to watch?

Dave's wise beyond his years.
He can professional rip a celebrity apart (“Why ARE you here?”) without demeaning them, and always puts together a comedic show that’s mature. Leno, not so much.

You never saw why people like Dave or Jay?
Really? I can understand Jay, he isn’t funny, can’t conduct an interview to save his life, and is annoying. Dave on the other hand is witty, original, hilarious, an excellent interviewer; the true heir to the Tonight Show throne. Dave got screwed out of it when Johnny retired, (Carson actually wanted Dave to be the host, not Leno). I like Conan, and now I can actually watch the Tonight Show again, thank God Jay is gone!

I agree with you guys on Jay...
And I can see maybe some of Dave’s wit, but that wit never made me laugh. Original? I think when you got Conan around it is a bit difficult to throw that word out to Dave. Dave’s interviews are better that Jay’s but most of the jokes would come out of Dave himself, where Conan does a fantastic job of getting the funny out of his guests.
So did American Idol, CSI, and Friends.

He should be charged just like everybody else who does it..
I'm a lefty, maybe Lou should give me a shot for a position in the bullpen!!
Maybe the security guard...
…could’ve just picked Conan up by the seat of his pants and dangled him over the field – y’know, like the cat.

NO!!! THAT IS NOT A JOKE!
You can seriously damage a Conan by lifting them up by the seat of their pants! You’ll be hearing from PETC!!!

Adding in the flight costs to all those cities?
As well as hotel stays for Conan, the crew, etc. Probably talking 6 figures.
unless a lot of it was done with a Green Screen

he was cool
he and reed were chatting for awhile in the dugout before the stunt. thought the opening turned out great, even though he’s running south past the river then suddenly arrives at Wrigley (north). : )
here’s me ’n reed ’n conan. pretty cool to meet him! <http://twitpic.com/6g20y
You and Conan look good together.
Height-wise, I mean. :-)

Yes running the wrong way
to get from Wrigley from Trib Tower. You would think someone would have caught it.
Reminds of the first season of the Bob Newhart show where the opening credits had him getting off at the WRONG El stop for the bldg he worked in. They got so many complaints from Chicagoans that they reshot for the 2nd season.

I believe there were a bunch of...

Also...
… he ran into the main entrance at Clark & Addison and then came out of the gate on Sheffield. I guess he could have run under the concourse, but he should probably have come in at the Addison & Sheffield gate to run on the field from that side.

The movie that drove me nuts was BACKDRAFT
In one scene they went the wrong way on a major downtown street ( I think it was Wacker). After a fireman is critically burned in a fire they take him to hospital ALL THE WAY ON THE OTHER SIDE OF THE CITY ( and no they did not have some great burn unit)
but my favorite mistake for Chicago natives was referring to corrupt politician as a “councilman” when everyone in Chicago knows we have ALDERMAN.

When Harry Met Sally
had a similar problem. They left the University of Chicago (on the south side) to drive to New York… and drove towards downtown.
Wouldn't that be north, though?

No, the scene showed them driving...
… SOUTH on Lake Shore Drive towards downtown.

Ah, OK.
I think I remember that.

Also in French Kiss
they are driving on the wrong side of the road

I was just in London
and the people there must have been watching that movie because they were all going the wrong way. Good thing someone was nice enough to warn me with writing on the ground.

I’m always happy to hear a Cheap Trick song.
Conan looks pretty good running across Wrigley. Perhaps we could sign him as a pinch runner….
that was entertaining no doubt

What I liked about it
was that it set a tone very different from Jay. No way Leno ever shows himself in such physical activity. Even his “Jaywalking” bits take place in a very small space. Conan opened it way up. He literally “hit the ground running.”
Fontenot (fon-te-no): Cajun for "scrappy"
I liked the bit
and the punchline. The rest of the show, not so much. I’ll stick to Dave and Craig Ferguson.
