Thom Powell: Mad Props To Bobo On The Conan O'Brien Show
For those who didn't get a chance to watch Bobo on the Conan O'Brien show, we have included some clips from the segment below. Thom Powell, the author of Shady Neighbors, is extremely proud of The Bobes for standing up to "simpletons" like Conan. The author/science teacher says Bobo hit a home-run Tuesday night when he dispatched "Conan's ignorant provincialism with astute comments about the validity of the PGF, and the common misperceptions". Powell is in "awe" right now. Here's what he posted on his Facebook page last night after viewing the show:
I can't speak for anyone else but I watched bobo's 'Conan' appearance and I was stunned! He was brilliant. His courage, his hubris, his 'comfort in his own skin' as we say these days, was spectacular.
Dude, When the guy who appears BEFORE you (the "A-List " guest), has nothing better to talk about than to positively gush about how eccentrically cool the guy is who is coming on AFTER him, then you suddenly know that he (Bobo) has won before he even walked onto the sound stage. I don't know whether it was Bobo himself or someone else who suggested he go out there in flip-flops, a baseball hat, and missing tooth, but it was, I think, a stroke of marketing genius.
Even with a publicist, you could not possibly have done a better job of portraying a persona that the downbeat, unassuming, 'aw-shucks' yet somehow totally self-assured persona that Bobo projected,, especially when following such stark contrast: the button-down talk show guy who preceded him, who also had nothing of interest to talk about other than himself. And then, when Bobo opened his mouth, this guy who looked like Dallas Gilbert's younger brother sound smooth, articulate, and compelling.
Then Bobo proceeded to dispatch Conan's ignorant provincialism with astute comments about the validity of the PGF, and the common misperceptions held by idiots like Conan, as well as the philosophical 'beliefs vs. science based thinking' misperceptions and so on...Wow! Keep in mind, I have always hated Conan's self-absorbed shtick so it's always painful to watch his show but I made an exception because my son loves Finding Bigfoot and I guess I had to watch my bro on national TV.
But watching Bobo dispatch Conan's simpleton point-of-view was a pleasure to behold. I expect that, after that slam-dunk performance, we'll be seeing a lot more of that untamed frock of hair and baritone voice on the TV. What a fantastic job, but his 'fuck-you-this-is-who-I-am' appearance, complete with UN-styled hair and missing tooth was, by far, the most brilliant element of the entire event. I am in awe.
Remarkable job, Mr. Fay. - Thom Powell

ReplyDeleteMuchas Dias!
DeleteYou... Me... Sex?
DeleteHow is Bobo allowed to confirm the DNA when nobody else will say anything about it?
ReplyDeleteHe didn't sign the nda
DeleteYeah I knew he diddn't sign the nda but why are all of the other researchers that are in the know not screaming from the rooftops about this?
DeleteCuz they did sign the Non-Disclosure Agreements
DeleteWas gonna be first, but decided to write that I am huge fan of Conan! He was and still is the king of late nite! Bobo rules too!
ReplyDeleteBigfoot is human. Nuff said.
ReplyDeleteBobo is a Squatch god !!!
DeleteBobo is the Benjamin Franklin of our times, don't you think there's a resemblance!
DeleteJesse Ventura looks like Ben Franklin these days.
DeleteBobo should have slapped that poofy-haired fancy boy.
ReplyDeleteYea. Well. I second that. Conan is a lame turd. Acts like everything in life is a joke. The show sucks. He should hang it up and get the tooth fairies job when she retires. I think he'd make a terrific fairy.
DeleteI don't know man... When he said people still beleive the moon is made of cheese I was like whaaat? And when he said he'd take one for the team to get a semen sample I was like daaam!!!
ReplyDeleteBoBo Faye did a fantastic job of handling a potentially comedic interview. Conan got no laughs, Bobo got all ears. It was impressive. And, whether he meant to or not, he clearly said, "in the genus Homo..." Thanks Bobo!!!
ReplyDeleteBobo rules! Tough to convince an urbanite like Conan to believe in Bigfoot!
ReplyDeleteThe Bobes. Now he's got a nickname for his nickname.
ReplyDeleteTake one for the Team! Ha ha. Bobo is going to take more crap on that then he ever did in Bigfooting! Quote of the century!
ReplyDeleteLOL
ReplyDelete"I didn't sign an NDA"
awesome
But for the record, Smeja did not kill bigfoots.
For the record huh? I guess you didn't watch the video. Bobo just said he did shoot em. So...................STFU!!!
DeleteBobo's right, the did shoot 2 of them,
DeleteIt's going to be known to the world that they exist.
Two of em.
DeleteBobo tells us all, if you didn't sign an NDA.
ReplyDeleteDish, give scoop.
Please don't call them sasquatch, that is an appropriation od Aborigional culture.
ReplyDeleteI beleive you're thinking of squaw snatch.
DeleteI did a couple of them,Awesome !!!
DeleteAnd you footing dickheads actually wonder why people come to this website to “troll”? You attack biology, you lie to people, and then this Powell asshole has the audacity to insult reasonable people who base their arguments on logic and reason. People come here and “troll” you because you start shit with them. How would you like it if I made up a lie, told it to you as a truth, and then called you stupid because you didn't believe my lie? You all need to show us a Bigfoot or shut the fuck up.
ReplyDeleteor what ? you will stop trolling ?
DeleteYour arguments are anything but logic or reason and you would not know the truth if it slapped you in the face. If you want to see a Bigfoot get your lazy ass out in the forest and something just might happen for you as it has for me.
DeleteWe don't care much for this....biology 'round these parts. Now you take your fancy book learning and just head on back to Atlantis.
DeleteGo back to watching wrestling. Or Conan. Shit gets too deep here. It would only confuse you more.
DeleteRight on!
DeleteI hope Bobo gets his wish to take it up the ass by bigfoot for the team.What straight dude would offer to do that, no one.
ReplyDeleteWow your brave Mr. anonymous... I would love to see you say that to Bobo's face...
ReplyDeleteConan is Donald Thrumph's baby brother, just look at the hair.
ReplyDeleteWay to go Bobo!! Conan is the spokesman for the "HIPSTER DOOFUS" league of America. If you don't understand it,,haven't seen it,,or your way too cool to even get your mind around it,,,make fun of it and other hipster doofuses will laugh too. Give me a ?!$&@'n break. Just IMO tho
ReplyDeleteI agree with you Mr. Shaw. Conan had an agenda to make fun of Bobo and make himself look cool. If this is what cool is then I want no part of it. Bobo pretty much held his own and even turned the tables a bit. I guess this is why I stopped watching late night shows when Johnny Carson retired. To me the ones now are too self absorbed with themselves and the hollywood mutual admiration society. Johnny had Roger Patterson on in the 60s and I doubt he ever made fun of him. It would be neat to find this show, I do not know if it exist. In an interview and Johnny interviewed a lot folks with far out stories, usually the joking was directed at Johnny himself and not the guest. I guess I am just to old for what passes as comedy today but I am comfortable with this.
ReplyDeleteChuck
RIP Johnny Carson. He was the absolute best and one-of-a-kind. I used to like Letterman, but he's way too liberal now and just a bitter, cynical old prick--I feel sorry for his son and wife.
DeleteIf you are too damned dumb to know when you are watching a comedy show,don't watch tv, your brain might explode.
ReplyDeleteWho were those gays next to Bobo?
ReplyDeleteI sure miss Johnny Carson. These late night shows have gone to hell since he left.
ReplyDeleteYou Are Correct, Sir!!
DeleteConan is so arrogant and rude its ridiculous, and look at the other to beside bobo looking down on him. He should gone on Letterman.
ReplyDeleteI would like to see Bobes bodyslam Conan through a table, then scream like a bigfoot at those other two pencil necks.
ReplyDeleteI dont understand. What was this information that the others signed an NDA to not release. I have seen every single finding bigfoot episode, including the specials, and I recall nothing on any of the episodes that have came out after this over a year and a half ago, that would pertain to what he is referencing in this interview. So what was he talking about, and why was there never anything in the new season after this about it like he said there would be.
