THRICE: 01/25/11 – CONAN Stunt Segment with Steven Ho
This will involve any of the following: cannonballs, rocks, double sweat bands, rock band, diapers, angry birds, dead birds falling from the sky, Ricky Gervais, Conan O’Brien’s Hoarder and snack packs! DO NOT MISS!
Asian Baby was packed back up and sent from Maryland to LA for this special stunt. Make sure to tune in to make his long journey worth it.
Fine print: No actual Asian Babies were hurt during the filming of this segment. Do not attempt this at home. AB is a trained stunt professional!
Thank you to the following blogs for showing love to Asian Baby!

Stunt Baby Training
1.26.2011 – Steven Ho on Conan I hope he’s a recurring character too! Bet you didn’t know that I’m a bi coastal baby that was a adopted by a frizzy haired Mom that still has half a heart in San Francisco. I’ll be happy to share ideas on how to best make people think you are abusing your offspring. I highly suggest the Michael Jackson dangle over a scenic outlook. It’s sure to cause a runaway truck.
Angry Asian Man
1.26.2011 – steven ho, a sword, a watermelon, and conan o’brien.
If you think I’m weird, have you seen the show audience? It’s like the island of misfit toys and I fit right in! So I’ll take weird as a compliment. Thanks for the kinds words about my man, Stephen Ho.
AB is a bit of an attention whore and he’s happy to do odd photo shoots, interviews or anything else to extend his 15 minutes. He’s also available for weddings. Leave your odd requests in the comments below or to @ConansAsianBaby and his people will get back to you.
It’s been my dream since I first saw Conan years ago to one day be on his show. I had no idea why or how, but I had hope that one day it would happen. And thanks to social media and a plastic doll, I got my moment. Pierre Bernard Jr. is a graphic design for Conan O’Brien and had what I’d consider my dream job. We connected through his blog and Facebook, which led me to the bad-ass Steven Ho who blessed me with a bouncing baby boy. It’s been fun putting together AB’s brand online, and I did feel like winning was like fate since I was able to have fun with my favorite comedian and the web. Still, nothing could prepare me for this moment at the DC Tour. Watch the video starting at 2:45.
I am so glad that we have this video that was posted on YouTube, because this moment was completely an out-of-body experience! The show was already amazing and I just grabbed the baby and started jumping up and down like a mad woman. The guy next to me already thought I was crazy enough and it cracks me up that he never uttered a word to me.
I was trying to yell “IT’S ASIAN BABY! FROM THE TONIGHT SHOW!” but the crowd was too loud. And I’m sure that the last thing that Conan was thinking was…
“That must be the plastic doll that I saved from an explosion, stolen by Steven Ho during the last episode, raffled off on Facebook, shipped across the country by UPS and is now being waved in the air by a crazy lady.”
I’m guessing it was more “that’s a crazy lady.”
Reenacting AB on The Tonight Show!
Trying to get on the Andy Cam
Posting this for Asian Conan... this guy is going after the little guy and needs his ass kicked!
After the Show
We got asked by a lot of people if the whole thing was a setup, and I kept explaining that it wasn’t but he was from the Tonight Show. I kept showing off his signed butt that makes him look like a cabbage patch kid.
Conan’s official camera guy came and found us and gave us a souvenir for “the best shot of the night.” Yup, a limited edition Team Conan guitar pick!
From Conan's camera man! THANK YOU!!!!
More Souvenirs
Baby Daddy got whacked by a big bouncing Coco ball which knocked his glasses off his face and left him with a cool gash.
Our Hot Seat badges got mailed AFTER the show! Oops!
The trip was extra fun as we used Twitter and Facebook to meetup with other Team Coco members. Here’s the highlights of the day:
Safey First! We warned other cars to stay away!
A familiar hat inside and Carol with the beaded Coco necklace she made!
Now we just need a bearded beaded version!
The proud Baby Daddy with Asian Baby. Notice we dressed him as we would look like bad parents if he was only in a diaper. We got enough strange looks as it was!
