Norm Macdonald & Courtney Thorne-Smith | Late Night with Conan O’Brien

hello everyone we're back open ladies for the past five seasons my next guest has played Allison Parker one of the many dysfunctional but beautiful residents of Melrose Place please welcome Courtney Thorne Smith Norman Norm Norm , you're sick and you're done. she like a bear rug just sleeping no no no you know but because earlier during the commercial I said I had a huge crush on her yeah and then you said you did too I said yes when you were day to day , I had developed. This big crush on you and this whole talk show is a plan to get you here.

I like it when she's on the morning show with Tom Snyder, not the morning show, but the

late

r show. He tells me at halftime. No, I do who. "Yeah, no, I know from that show, that's amazing, he tells me, I really like her, I saw her, I really think she's great, I really have a crusher and I said, where did you meet? Oh, you saw it. Noah's place. I said no, I was watching Tom Snyder and she was on the show and she was a great guest and I said wait a minute, that's the show opposite of our show, why weren't you watching our friend? of the show?

Because I wasn't on it that

night

, okay? Now stay, this is going to be, we have interesting things to talk about. You've been on this show on Melrose Place for five years, for five years, and now you. You go, why are you leaving? um, it's time you know, I mean how many times do you want to say that you got tired of like them because they made your character go crazy, you know, go through all this really weird stuff, Allison. She has been through so much, I was sexually harassed, my car was stolen, I had an affair with a married man who then tried to rape me. and then he shot himself on the phone with me he was drunk and sober while he was sober, even though he had to have it, he did all those things on the phone with you?

Wait, I'm curious, no, he was on the phone in the office, which makes it really awkward, okay, and he was in Seattle and he shot himself, oh my god, he was on the phone, I know, yeah , and finally you said that there is nothing else this character can do well. I can not do anything else. I have been married, divorced and widowed, and there is too much that is going to happen in the season finale, can you give us some advice for all those fans about what is going to happen? I'll say, well, good

night

everyone, we had a good time, no, me.

I mean, but what gives us a feeling is that it's one of those because every year they try to have a season finale where everyone gets on a zeppelin and explodes, you know something, now that you've given it one, it's a zeppelin, It's a zeppelin, okay, are you talking about Melrose? Not because you're the biggest jerk I've ever met. I got you for that. Not because I swear to God. And when I lived in Los Angeles, he lived on a street called Melrose Place. There is a real place. On the street there is a melrose, is there really a mountain?

It's really amazing okay you know that right yeah that's right so they open this restaurant called melrose place and then it's right next to my house and every time I go out there are all these tourists and these. Tourists like that they're always fat and taking pictures standing in front of this restaurant, yeah, well thanks for the help buddy, he'll get over it, you'll see, what, what, now I have to ask you about this because we. I'm quiet now, that makes everything okay. Well, I want to talk to you about something because this accidentally came up earlier in the show because I didn't know what Norm was going to talk about tonight and sometimes it's better if I don't know.

I know, but he mentioned Carrot Top. You're making a movie with Carrot Top. Well, I made a movie with Carrot Top. Okay, you've made a movie with Carrot Top. It hasn't been released yet. No, can you put the photo of Carrot Top back up? We can all see it, oh, there it is again, yeah, okay, okay, wait a minute, she left Melrose Place to make a movie with carrot, that's where I'm going, my friend, this begs the question now, now, Why a movie with carrots? a movie with character, I mean, no, I don't know much about carrot top, you know, I don't know much about him, I'm a little jealous because he's a red-headed comedian and I felt like maybe you'd make a movie. with me first then he goes to carrot top then to ralph mal from happy days you know, like the three of us there is an order in which you make movies with the redheads how is he first of all he is an extraordinarily sweet and nice guy, he really is and he worked very tough and he was adorable and he works with a lot of props and stuff too, right, not in the movie, oh, in the movie they took away his props, they took away his props, that's a bad time to suddenly take away everything you know . comedy, you know you've been using props your whole life for comedy, now we're going to bring it to you when you make your first movie, was that okay?

Although with that he was great, he was great, he did a wonderful job, you have a scene. where you and you, you and him hug, yeah, lots of kisses, oh for God's sake, nothing but kissing, okay, it's like nine and a half weeks, but we were talking about carrots, wow, I gotta see Is that movie called Nine Thirty? seconds like I had premature ejaculation you know what happened this is what happened you know what happened he said nine and a half seconds and I'm looking at him because I know there's more and I wait and I wait and I see the twinkle in the eye and then bang I thought you were going to do it but no, but uh, what will the movie be called?

I know what it's going to be like, yeah, what's that? If it has a carrot, you know what a good name it would be. that standard box office poison she is there what happens to my career? Courtney Thorne Smith the girl sitting on your left is in the movie I'm going to go see it how can you scare everyone else? No, I love this girl who I would watch any movie with. this girl is a beautiful lady and a nice and talented talk show, yes ok as evidenced by her appearance on our rival show ok there is a two hour season finale of Melrose Place it's about to premiere this movie, yes, the title is indeterminate at this time, president. from the board oh, okay, do something with that, monster.

I bet the board is spelled boring. Let's take a break. Now we will have a collective soul in a second Courtney Thorne Smith. We hope she continues to be our friend.
