Unforgettable antics of Ozzy Osbourne on Late Night With Conan O'Brien, an often-overlooked hysterical episode showcasing the Prince of Darkness' peculiar humor.
Ozzy Osbourne's Chaotic Appearance on Conan O'Brien's Late Night Show
On October 18, 2001, Ozzy Osbourne graced the stage of "Late Night With Conan O'Brien" for a segment that would become one of his most memorable appearances. Known for his pioneering work with Black Sabbath and as a solo artist, Osbourne brought an unexpected blend of humor and chaos to the show.
The segment began with Osbourne visiting the offices to lift spirits following the aftermath of the 9/11 attacks. As he made his way through the office, he offered awkward neck massages, which culminated in him accidentally choking a staff member. Despite the mishap, Osbourne's genuine effort to cheer up the staff was evident.
Osbourne's interactions with office sights were equally entertaining. He showed apparent disgust towards a staff member's half-eaten quesadilla and had a strange encounter with a dove kept by one of the producers. His comments, such as calling Barry Manilow the antichrist rather than Dolly Parton, added to the absurdity of the segment.
However, the highlight of the segment was Osbourne's excitement over a pink t-shirt that Conan O'Brien had given him and his subsequent decapitation of a stuffed peacock mascot. The offbeat and out-of-control energy of the segment broke the tension in the office and revealed Osbourne's sharp sense of humor beneath his dark persona.
The collaboration between Osbourne and O'Brien ended with a performance of "Puff The Magic Dragon," which showcased O'Brien's love and understanding of metal music. Despite not being a fan of talk shows, Osbourne returned for sitdown interviews with O'Brien in 2005 and 2016.
The seven-minute clip of this chaotic and hilarious segment is a testament to Osbourne's ability to bring laughter and entertainment, even in the darkest of times. It is a moment that will long be remembered by fans as one of Osbourne's funniest and most memorable appearances.
