Here I am, the 2000 Olympics in Sydney, Australia.
-
Got the Olympic torch burning right behind me,
-
got my credentials, my Stone Phillips field reporting shirt.
-
I'm wearing a lot of sun block
-
and I'm ready to find out what's going on.
-
(energetic music)
-
One of the biggest mysteries of the 2000 Olympics
-
is why they built the Sydney Olympic Park,
-
which is fantastic, majestic,
-
a gather place for world-class athletes,
-
why they built it on the edge
-
of this huge smoldering dump.
-
This is actually the site of the 2002 Hobo Olympics.
-
Hobos, tramps, and several bums
-
will battle it out for supremacy here in 2002.
-
Catch the action right here on NBC.

I do a show called Nightline.
-
You ever seen it?
-
No.
-
When you get home tonight, tell people
-
that you met Ted Koppel.
-
Yeah?
-
Yeah, and that he smelled very badly.
-
He had body odor.
-
Right behind me you can see this guy
-
on a tall ladder with a megaphone.
-
They're stationed all throughout the park.
-
They're recommending that people get
-
to their venues on time,
-
they're recommending that people use sunblock,
-
and they're recommending that they not live in Australia.
-
They're pretty helpful, they're everywhere.
-
Excuse me, sir, do you have any idea who I am?
-
No, sorry, I don't.
-
I have a television show.
-
Would you watch it if you came to America?
-
No, I'm sorry, I wouldn't.
-
Thank you very much.
-
Thank you.
-
You're name is?
-
Father Mydim Sadkharkin.
-
I am the priest from Russian Orthodox Church from Moscow.
-
Nice to have you here.
-
Are you enjoying Australia?
-
Do you like the Australian people?
-
Yes.
-
A little bit they are better than Americans.
-
You like Australians better than Americans?
-
No, I like USA more than Australia.
-
I do a TV show in America.
-
Maybe you would come and see the TV show?
-
Yes, if you invite me.
-
It's a terrific show.
-
We have a masturbating bear,
-
we have a robot that sits on a toilet.
-
I actually found three guys who know who I am.
-
They're big fans and wouldn't you guess,
-
they're drunk at 10 o'clock in the morning.
-
Yeah!
-
When did you start drinking?
-
Nine o'clock this morning, Conan.
-
And you're big fans of the show?
-
Conan!
-
We're on a cable channel here.
-
Yeah, cable!
-
Cable.
-
Wait a minute, you really have had a lot of drinks
-
when you're like, "Cable, yeah, cable!".
-
This guy could be an MTV VJ.
-
Have you thought about doing that?
-
I have thought about it at least half an hours worth.
-
I've thought about it.
-
Very good.
-
You would not believe how far I went to get this beer.
-
It's a great country.
-
(energetic music)
-
As you can see, the Goodyear blimp
-
has been changed to the G'day blimp
-
because the Australian people feel
-
we haven't heard the phrase g'day enough.
-
