California Trip 2009 - Day 6


Tuesday July 28, 2009


We all hung out around the condo today and relaxed until Travis Edwards (son of Joan and Louie Edwards) arrived and we all (Doug and Carol King, Jared King, Michelle and John Cornelius and Travis Edwards) headed to Universal City to go see Conan O'Brien on his show Late Night with Conan O'Brien. We waited in line outside and had to be escorted to the bathroom by security personnel. It was serious business!

This is John and Michelle outside the studio where the show was taped.


The episode that we were there for was really good! Heidi Klum and Steve Zahn were his guests that night. Heidi was VERY pregnant (you can't really tell in the picture, but we weren't allowed to have cameras so I had to do some internet hunting to even find this one!) and she brought two barbie dolls of her and Conan.

Steve Zahn did an interview promoting a new movie he was in. It was so interesting to be there during an actual taping of a real TV show. The band was really good and during commercial breaks we found out some cool things about Conan, like the fact that he drinks Diet Coke in his mug that sits on his desk during the show! Conan is very tall and seems to be pretty nice in person.

After the show, we were all hungry and tired, so Doug treated us all to dinner at one of our all-time favorite restaurants Bubba Gump's. This restaurant is so fun because not only do they have delicious sea food, but on the tables are signs that say "Run Forest Run" and "Stop Forest Stop". That tells the waiters/waitresses that you need them to either 'stop' or 'keep on running'!

Jared enjoying his crab legs!

For dinner, Jared had 1 pound of crab legs, Doug, Carol and John had a big bucket of shrimp of all kinds (coconut, battered, fried, baked, etc), Travis had crab legs too, and Michelle had fish and chips... a classic. It was all so good! Good thing we all enjoyed our special treat since it doesn't happen very often... the total was over $190.00 after tip! Best of all, we just walked home to the condo after dinner since it is only 2 blocks away from the restaurant!
