Conan O'Brien: Self - Host

Quotes 

• Conan O'Brien : Now let me ask about the Oscars. That's what everyone's talking about right now. Oscars announced. Who of the two of you picks Oscar winners better? Better at predicting who's actually going to win?

  Gene Siskel : I am. And Roger knows that.

  Roger Ebert : Um...

  [audience laughter] 

  Roger Ebert : actually...

  Gene Siskel : Oh, you know that.

  Roger Ebert : ...Having, having done the statistics for the TV Academy a year ago, I found that over recent years, we have had exactly the same percentage of accuracy.

  Conan O'Brien : [to Gene]  You just made a wincing pain. Either that, or you have gas.

  Gene Siskel : No, I just feel bad. I feel bad, because he really knows in his heart of hearts, he says- in previous interviews, he said "You take it more seriously", "I vote with my heart rather than my head." You remember those quotes, Roger? I do. You know I do it better.

  Roger Ebert : You know, Gene studies my quotes, he hopes to learn from them.

  Gene Siskel : Yeah. That's known as a non-denial denial.

  Conan O'Brien : Okay...

  Roger Ebert : [to Gene]  How 'bout the year I got eleven out of...

  Conan O'Brien : Please stop it!

  Roger Ebert : I got eleven...

  Conan O'Brien : Please stop it!

  Roger Ebert : Eleven out of eleven right!

  Conan O'Brien : Can't you see what you're doing to Andy? He's just a boy! Andy, mommy and daddy love each other. He's emotionally scarred forever now.
