Sometimes on Conan, they film the episode in bits and pieces and add them all together with the magic of editing.

Considering the line-up sounds pretty packed (Jason Segel AND Cameron Diaz, THEN Matt Walsh, THEN Al), it sounds like it would be a booger to organize all those people together at the same time. My guess is, they'll film each interview/musical performance separately with a nice, fresh monologue slapped onto the front of the show. This could totally allow Jim to be there.

Doesn't Conan tape his show sometime in the afternoon/early evenings? I'm sure if Al is performing a song, he could totally finish taping it before Jim has to go to his concert.

Yeah, I'm pretty sure all the non-live late night talk shows actually tape several hours earlier than they air, so I'd still bank on a performance, especially given the rest of that lineup.

The good thing about this episode is a lot of people who like funny things will be watching, giving Al some great exposure for the new album to people who are very likely to buy it if they dig the song he plays.

Depending on what song they perform, Jim might not actually be needed. Happy and Blurred Lines have prominent basslines but no major guitar parts that I can hear, and Fancy and Royals have neither guitar nor bass.

Gilroy, CA is 6 hours away from LA, so I would think that would eliminate the possibility of an earlier taping. The only other possibility I could see for taping on a different day would be the 16th, but since Al is in NYC for The View the day before, I would think that would be difficult.

If he performs Handy, why would he need Jim West there?

If Al left after the view finished taping, he would be home for dinner.

Well, I guess Al and the Band are playing the song on Conan (confirmed now), over the family dinner Mike mentioned. Also, Jim's show has been removed from his schedule.

Is this scheduled for Wednesday night July 16 (technically July 17 since it's after midnight) or Thursday night July 17 (technically July 18)?
