@@rumo1086 I don't know. She loves Conan. She has been on his shows several times over the years, more so than on most shows. She was on Late Night in 1994, 1995, 1997, and on The Tonight Show with Conan in 2009. I think they're friends, so she might agree to visit him on the podcast, whether in person or by video.

That was early Conan. He was absurdly awkward with his interviews (and I loved it). He talked like a nervous guy on a blind date.

From the first time I heard the song “Birthday” from the Sugarcubes back in the 80’s, I immediately fell in love with Björk. Her singing voice is so special, and unique from any other singer I’ve ever heard. Just love her!

I feel like Conan was being softer and sweeter because Bjork herself was being soft and sweet, and he didn’t want to make her feel alienated by being loud and sarcastic like he usually is.

1993 ... LEON had just been released on Laserdisc. Always reminds me of Bjork, that scene with her song as Leon and Matlida establish their daily routines together. Her music fit perfectly.

She’s beautiful, like a flower.

I saw here final tour with The Sugarcubes almost exactly a year before this interview aired. Notice Conan pronounced her name correctly (BeeURK) as I'm sure he was frustrated with so many getting his name wrong his first year on the air.

She's beautiful and very authentic. I understand why she became a star in the nineties ❤❤❤

So good to see this-- I've had Human Behavior on my mind nonstop since reacquainting with it just 5 days ago. Blew my mind then, and still knocks my socks off today.

How does this not have a billion views?

She was soooooooo good-looking!!!!

This reminded me of her Kristen Wiig impression, which is spot on IMO. Wiig did well to capture her little smile and curious eyes, and unique sentences that never end the way you thought they would.

Some people are overflowing with creativity

Magical Bjork

I had forgotten how insanely beautiful she was and is. In a kinda fantasy Elvish way 😍

Beautiful Bjork.! :)

Humanity is fortunate, for having her.

this woman is still, absolutely, the most attractive woman in the world.

This interview shows her for the delightful person she is. Avant garde artist, but still a girl.

There's a lot of talk about Canada Gooses but do you know what a Swedish Goose says? Hjonk.

iS IT ME, OR IS SHE THE CUTEST PERSON YOU HAVE EVER SEEN?

grace of God

Bjork has a very specific sense of humour, quite similar to a British one. Americans struggle with it lol
