You know there's something else I wanna talk about here,
-
just mention briefly.
-
Folks, as you're probably all aware,
-
we live in security conscious times here in America.
-
And I just wanna take a second and applaud
-
the security force here at NBC.
-
They do an amazing job.
-
You probably met some of them when you were coming in.
-
Really great. (audience applauding)
-
They do a good job.
-
Crack security team here.
-
Crack security team, and I pass these people everyday.
-
I see the security guys, the men and the women
-
that are protecting is here in the building.
-
And I see 'em and they're doing such a good job
-
and I started to think the other day,
-
wouldn't it be interesting if I could see what it takes
-
to be a top flight security guard
-
here at 30 Rockefeller Center, you know?
-
I wanted to know if I had the right stuff,
-
if I could do it.
-
So folks, guess what I did?
-
I joined up for a night.
-
That's right, I gave up my cushy late night job
-
and I joined in on the security force here
-
at Rockefeller Center.
-
I brought a camera crew with me and this is what happened.
-
Take a look.
-
(upbeat music)
-
(audience laughing)
-
I'm here at the main station for NBC security
-
and I'm here with Oliver Gordon,
-
one of our top security people.
-
How are you sir?
-
I'm fine tonight, thank you.
-
Let me ask you, tonight for one night only
-
I'm joining the force.
-
Is it known as the force?
-
No, it's known as security.
-
Can we say that I'm part of an elite squad?
-
Well, that's a little stretching it.
-
The Q ring, the inner ring, the Q ring.
-
All that stuff that's good, that's good.
-
That's okay? That's okay.
-
One of the greatest thing about security guards
-
is they get to carry around that ring of keys
-
that sort of open anything.
-
Do you have one of those?
-
Oh yeah we got our keys.
-
What do you got?
-
Not many, about 10 keys on there.
-
Let me see that, hold that up, jingle that.
-
I got about 10 on there, that's all.
-
Yeah, check this out. (audience laughing)
-
This opens every door in New York City.
-
You got the master ring. And Staten Island.
-
I also use this at Christmas time.
-
(keys jingling)
-
(keys clanging) (audience laughing)
-
Men, office down, officer down.
-
So how would you say my first day is going so far?
-
A little tricky.
-
This is where if there's gonna be trouble
-
it's gonna start here and it's gonna end here,
-
is that right? That's right.
-
Someone shows their ID
-
and then it shows up on this monitor.
-
Do you check the face that shows up here
-
with the face of the guy coming through?
-
That's right.
-
If that face doesn't match up, what do you do?
-
I stop them.
-
You stop them, how do you stop them?
-
Just tell them to stop.
-
No, elbow to the throat,
-
soft part of the throat right here.
-
Drive the tip of the elbow
-
until you feel the back of the throat.
-
That means you've crushed their windpipe.
-
You got it?
-
(audience laughing) (upbeat music)
-
(bell ringing)
-
Do you hear a noise?
-
Yeah.
-
Come here.
-
Let's check it out.
-
Hello, how are you?
-
Okay!
-
Everything all right?
-
Yes, sir!
-
(audience laughing)
-
But she ran away. Yeah.
-
Doesn't seem suspicious to you?
-
Have you seen here before?
-
She's been here about five years now.
-
Not a long time when you think about it.
-
Not long at all.
-
Sometimes people put in five years
-
just to make everybody comfortable and then chop chop!
-
(upbeat music)
-
(audience laughing)
-
This is the nerve center for NBC security right here.
-
Can you tell me who is this guy right here?
-
Who's that gentleman? That's Officer Brown.
-
Officer Brown, Officer Brown, do you hear me?
-
Yes, I hear you.
-
This is Conan O'Brien speaking to you
-
from "Late Night with Conan O'Brien"
-
starring me, Conan O'Brien.
-
How are you?
-
I'm feeling good, everything is clear.
-
Could you give me a wave right now
-
so I can confirm it's you?
-
(audience laughing)
-
Hi, Conan.
-
Do me a favor, just pat this guy on the head
-
who's walking through right now.
-
Give him a little pat on the head!
-
(audience laughing) (Conan laughing)
-
That was nice, that was very good.
-
All right I'm proceeding to other levels.
-
If there's any problems at all, my code word tonight
-
is I'm known as the red fox or night fox.
-
All right red fox, copy loud and clear.
-
I prefer night fox to be honest.
-
Okay, Conan.
-
♪ Loving you ♪
-
(knocking)
-
Hello!
-
Hold this.
-
That really hurt.
-
(audience laughing)
-
And I accomplished nothing.
-
Can you unlock this women's room?
-
Yeah, I have the key.
-
I bet you do!
-
(audience laughing)
-
You dog.
-
Look at you laughing, you're like oh I got the key!
-
Oh look and it's really worn
-
like you've used it a lot.
-
(audience laughing)
-
You see Conan merchandise, but when's the last time
-
you saw some "Dateline" merchandise?
-
I don't think anything.
-
I don't think I can remember any.
-
Right, you know what I'm sayin'? (laughing)
-
High five me.
-
Okay I've never done that before.
-
That was weird, your hand is moist.
-
Just gonna look in the bag just to make sure that that's,
-
is that okay?
-
A fork. (audience laughing)
-
No forks, sir, you know that.
-
This is the "Dateline" offices right here.
-
There's Stone Phillips right there.
-
Have you met Stone?
-
Yes I have, I work with him.
-
Nice guy, right?
-
Yeah he's good, he's a good guy.
-
Kind of robotic.
-
Have you ever actually seen him take nourishment?
-
No, I've never seen him. Really?
-
No. 'Cause there's this theory
-
that he's powered by dry cell batteries.
-
Not that I know of.
-
He might be a robot.
-
You've never seen him drink water or eat food?
-
I've seen him drink water, yes.
-
Did he put the water near his mouth
-
and then say, "What's that over there, Oliver?"
-
and you looked away and when you turned back
-
the glass was empty but there was a puddle on the floor?
-
No, I have not seen none of that.
-
Robots do that to distract humans.
-
Hey, hey man how you doing?
-
Good to see you sir, how are you?
-
Good to see you!
-
What are you doing?
-
Let's go.
-
Okay, thank you sir.
-
Julie, I'm being frisked by Conan O'Brien right now.
-
I'm being frisked by Conan.
-
Sir, I didn't do anything I promise.
-
Do you know this man you're talking to right now?
-
Ryan?
-
Do you confirm that?
-
Yeah. You're on your way, Ryan.
-
All right thank you sir.
-
You have a... Thank you very much,
-
appreciate it. You have a tight ass.
-
(audience cheering)
-
I want everyone to return to their homes!
-
God bless you all!
-
(upbeat music)
-
(audience laughing)
-
(audience cheering)
-
I think I did a lot of good.
-
Our thanks to our security gang
-
for helping us out with that.
-
When we come back, Heath Ledger is here!
