Conan’s Green Tip: Walk, if You’re Not Famous

During their ‘Green is Universal’ themed programming last week, NBC had celebrities appear in clips they called “Green Your Routine”, offering their suggestions for living a more environmentally friendly lifestyle. Most of what viewers saw was the same old ho-hum tips about light bulbs, reusable bags and taking the bus. One clip that caught our attention, however, was Conan O’Brien advising us that one of the best things we can do is walk instead of driving.  Of course, that tip doesn’t apply to him – he’s famous.

How many celebrities have said basically the same thing, without a hint of humor, when explaining why they don’t practice what they preach? Gotta love the old ‘I’m too famous for that’ excuse.

The funny thing is, Conan does walk around NYC all the time by himself and hardly anyone who sees him even blinks an eye. But, that doesn’t stop posts like this ending up on the internet: Red alert! Conan O’Brien eats at Subway alone! I guess some people care.
