If you've read my blog at all over the past year or so, you'll know that I am a fan of Late Night talk shows and specifically The Tonight Show with Conan O'Brien. Here's a little diddy from The Tonight Show I feel I needed to share. I want to dedication this song to Utah-- I know we are at odds right now (20 day & counting sans-The Road), but it is not beneath me to wish you a Merry Christmas!
The clip is a little long (3 mins, something) and you'll have to wait through a cell phone commercial or something like that before the clip even runs-- I'm not doing a very good job of selling this clip. Just watch it!

Another Late Night
Late Night with Jimmy Fallon
Jimmy: Alright, we'll okay that's weird.
[he snickers for just a little too long]
Jimmy: K. My next guest has a small bit part in the recently released S. Darko-- which was recently released, April 28th. Please welcome to the show Ryan Templeman.
[the band plays really loud to mask the fact that no one in the audience is clapping]
[Ryan and Jimmy shake hands. Jimmy leans in awkwardly thinking I may be a "hand shake hug". It is not. Ryan takes a seat on the couch.]
Jimmy: Welcome to the show.
Ryan: Thanks. This is a really nice couch.
Jimmy: That couch is from R.C. Willey-- as is all of our wonderful furniture here. R.C. Willey has the best couches, chairs, desks, pretty much anything and everything money can buy-- and I think Page Davis is hot! Am I right?
Ryan: About Page Davis or the furniture?
Jimmy: [he snickers] Wow. So I have here that you're from Canada, but I noticed that you said couch and not chesterfield. What's the deal?
Ryan: Oh yeah well if it is any consolation I wore my tuque to the studio.
Jimmy: I was going to say your hair looks kind of matted.
Ryan: Thanks. Maybe you could spare one of those half dozen hairstylist I saw back stage.
Jimmy: We'll see what we can do during a commercial break. Okay so let talk about the movie. S. Darko is a sequel to the quite successful independent film from a few years back, Donnie Darko--right? With Jake Gyllenhall before he went all "Brokeback". [He laughs almost uncontrollably] Okay, okay, okay-- So tell em about your character?
Ryan: Um well I play a character named Mike and he's a small town kid with no direction or aspirations. You know he's that pot head degenerate that spent 7 years on the same spot of the couch.
Jimmy: So we spend 2 hours watching you sit on a couch.
Ryan: Gosh I wish I had that kind of face time. No, but there is a scene where I am on a couch-- or rather chesterfield.
Jimmy: So do you have a clip for us?
Ryan: If I do, I've never seen it.
Jimmy: So I shouldn't have you set this up for us.
Ryan: Yeah-- you can just run it.
Jimmy: Okay, let's run it.
Jimmy: Are you sure you're in this movie? I didn't see you.
Ryan: I didn't see me either. Maybe I'm not in it. I guess it is wholly possible I was completely cut out.
Jimmy: What are you doing on my show? You're a nobody.
Ryan: I know but it's not like I crashed your set here or anything, I got an invite and my name is on that door back there; granted it is written on piece of paper and stuck there with some Ticky Tac-- but it's there. You know this whole time I've been sitting here I'm thinking "Wow these guys are really desperate for interviews".
Jimmy: We are not desperate for interviews. We've got stars-- real stars lining up to get on this show. Ray Liotta was on here the other night.
Ryan: Oh I really liked him in Narc.
Jimmy: This is ridiculous. Nobody go and see this movie!
Ryan: That's not cool man. The soundtrack is supposed to be killer.
Jimmy: If you even see this movie in a Blockbuster or whatever turn it around or hide it behind a copy of Love Guru.
Ryan: Do you have something against Canadians?
Jimmy: Are you going to leave or do I have to call security.
Ryan: No I'll leave of my own volition but for the record I would have rather been on Conan, Leno, probably even Letterman cause well... your show of sucks.
Jimmy: Screw you. Security!
[Security rushes out and grabs Ryan by the arms and escorts him off stage]
Ryan: [screaming from behind the curtain] Avenge me Tina Fey! Avenge me!
_____________________________________________________________________________
Wasn't that fun?!
For the record none of that ever happened.
However I am in S. Darko (despite the trailer) which was released late last month.
I don't know if it's any good 'cause I haven't seen it-- so I'd feel weird about endorsing it, but if you want to see me in a movie, you could try that one. Good Luck!
Jimmy: Alright, we'll okay that's weird.

Late Night
I'm a pretty vivid dreamer. Not sure whether this was a conscientious or subconsciencious dream happening somewhere between falling asleep and being asleep. I don't want to make a habit of blogging about my dreams... that's just lame, but I feel I have to with this one.
I was on Late Night with Conan O'Brien.
Conan: Our first guest tonight is the star of an upcoming movie. Please welcome to the stage Mr. Ryan Templeman.
I enter as the crowd claps politely.
Conan: Welcome to the show.
Ryan: Thanks for having me. How's the new late night treating you?
Conan: I thought I would ask the questions, but okay... this show sucks. It is slowly eating me alive. And I cry myself to sleep every night... on a bed full of money. [Evil Laugh that turns to a cry and then a sigh]. So I've been looking forward to chatting with you ever since I found out you were coming on the show... fifteen minutes ago. So apparently you're psychic?
Ryan: I suppose a little bit, though I've yet to figure out how to use my power for evil.
Conan: No really, a couple years ago you wrote a blog about this very encounter.
Ryan: It's not nearly as interesting as it sounds. Just goofing around I wrote about being on your show.
Conan: How long ago?
Ryan: It was awhile ago. Maybe...
Conan: Wait. I feel like we need some creepy music. Can I get some creepy music?
the music from 'In the Year 2000' begins to play.
Conan: Excellent. Please continue.
Ryan: So I wrote a dialog between myself and you and posted it on my blog.
Conan: I actually have a copy of that dialog you wrote here. Do you mind if I read it?
I smile, try to look hesitant, and quickly oblige the cheering audience.
Conan reads the dialog [that you're reading now] aloud.
Conan: Wow. That's fascinating stuff. And you know what else is fascinating? The new movie your in. See how I did that transition. I'm a legend. That's why I get paid the 'beaucoup' bucks. [Evil Laugh that turns to a cry and then a sigh]. Alright so I understand we have a clip from your new movie. You wanna set it up for us.
Ryan: No thanks.
Conan laughs.
Ryan: It's self-explanatory.
Conan: Alright let's run the clip.
A clip of some movie plays.
Conan: And there you have it. Ryan thanks for being on the show.
Ryan: Thank you.
Conan: Go see this movie. We'll be right back with Parker Posey.
Ryan: I love Parker Posey. Mind if I stick around? I'll behave.
Conan: You have my permission, but just remember, She is mine!
