Accidental Paparazzi

So during Sunday in the Park with Geoff a few weekends ago, I spotted this adorable dog, just snoozing at his master's feet. Super cute.


Took a couple of shots of him and noticed the owner was watching me, so I stopped. Didn't want him to think I was an actual dog stalker (even though I really am). It wasn't until we were uploading the photos that we realized that the owner was possibly Conan O'Brien. He does live on the Upper West Side. But the more we looked at him, we convinced ourselves it wasn't him after all. This was mostly due to a profile picture we got of him where it looked less like him, which we of course have since deleted, so I can't double check it again. But last night, we saw the beginning of a rerun of his show just as we were turning off the TV to go to bed. And really think it might have been him. And that's possibly why he was giving us The Eye. He thought we were actual paparazzi. Sorry Conan, it was all about your dog.

as soon as it was partly uploaded i laughed out loud and thought it was conan...about .5 seconds into seeing it. i'm pretty sure...
you should email it to him at the new show and tell him...he loves self-deprecating humor!

Well I did some checking and apparently two independent fan sites claim that Conan has a golden retriever named Hudson. http://www.tv.com/conan-obrien/person/3465/trivia.html http://www.celebritywonder.com/html/conano'brien_trivia1.html in fact, the more i look at a paused picture of him in HD i see the features are all the same as well. so no way to absolutely sure but i'm 95% sure that it was him.
