Hunter S. Thompson did it right with Conan O’Brien, because he didn’t sit on Conan’s couch and blab about his latest book / movie / art project. No. That is standard and typical and such. You can’t get atypical results by doing typical things.

Reformed journalist. Scribbler of speeches and whatnot. Wrote a thriller that was a finalist for some award.
Incredible. This just made my night
Haha, YES! I vaguely remember Conan doing something similar to this with Ted Nugent as well.
That segment is so far beyond awesome that it cannot be said to even live in the same universe as awesome. We must invent alternate universes to allow for this level of awesome.
Wasn’t it cool? Instead of plugging his books, Hunter plugged them with shotguns and such. Loved it.
