Conan: Alright, my first guest starred on the NBC hit series Friends. Now you can see him each Thursday in his own show, Joey. Please welcome Matt LeBlanc.

[Matt Enters]

Conan: How are you?

Matt: I m good.

Conan: You look fantastic.

Matt: Thanks. I haven t been here in a long time.

Conan: Alright, settle down ladies. I m here for the whole hour. Now first of all, I just saw you the other day at the Emmys, on Sunday.

Matt: Yep.

Conan: I uh, I announced your category.

Matt: That s right. You pronounced my name wrong.

Conan: Did I?

Matt: It s not pronounced Kelsey Grammer, it s Matt LeBlanc.

Conan: Sorry about that.

Matt: No bitterness here.

Conan: I should ve just- If I had just read your name. Who s gonna know? Right? They re not gonna know. They don t follow up on those things.

Matt: Wouldn t it be great if when you opened up the envelope it had all the names and you could just pick one, right in that moment.

Conan: That s what it should be! They should make it all up to the presenter, cause then it would just change everything. It would make the night so much more exciting. And the presenter should be drunk, also.

Matt: Yeah.

Conan: To add this other unreliable element.

Matt: Yeah, that s be great.

Conan: I got a lot of ideas.

Matt: Next year.

Conan: Next year. That s what I m doing. Alright now, Joey, of course is doing very well, and we need it on this network. So, thank you. We need you.

Matt: It s really fun, you know. We have probably 60 percent of the writers that were on Friends. We have the whole crew, and the same stage. So it still feels kinda like home to me. Its just tht, you know, I miss all those guys.

Conan: I heard a rumor that you had to keep the same dressing room you had in Friends?

Matt: No, I went with a little bigger dressing room this time.

Conan: Is it the size of all the other Friends dressings room s combined? Is it one giant dressing room?

Matt: Yes.

Conan: You arrogant, arrogant man.

Matt: We have a new baby, so my wife will come visit. There s more room for the baby.

Conan: That s nice. That s nice. So you got a new dressing room are you keeping anything, like a good-luck charm, from the old dressing room?

Matt: Yeah, I did. I had this When I did Lost In Space a long time ago, they had all these really cool things on the set. This like, space stuff everywhere. So I stole..took..was given..

Conan: You were given..

Matt: Was given this really cool sticker that says like Laser Hazard. It s kinda funny, and I put it underneath the toilet seat.

Conan: And you had that on the toilet in your Friends dressing room?

Matt: Yeah and it was there for, shoot I don t know, 8-9 years. So when it was time to go to the new dressing room, I said well I want to take the toilet seat, and I ll keep it in the new room for good luck.

Conan: Right.

Matt: So, I don t know how it got out but it leaked to the press. It was in the tabloids that PreMadonna, Matt LeBlanc, took the whole toilet and like swapped toilets in dressing rooms.

Conan: That s one of these demands. I heard that you brought it from New York to LA for this appearance. It s out in the hall right now.

Matt: Yes, yes, I have it.

Conan: You had it installed in the green room, just for tonight. Now, do people think of you-

Matt: If you wanna check it out, it s back there.

Conan: I ll check out that toilet later on. Leaks to the press. Uh, do people think of you hen they talk to you, because the characters are so famous, do they think of you as Joey, ever?

Matt: Oh yeah, all the time. I can t even remember the last time someone called me Matt. It s always Joey, but that s a compliment I guess.

Conan: People call me Conan. My real name s Chip Whitley.

Matt: I did not know that.

Conan: But if they re talking to you, if they think that you re Joey, what is that like? How does it affect the way they treat you?

Matt: It s like people expect me to be kinda dim, and kinda slow, and basically stupid. So they ll speak s l o w l y. H o w a r e y o u? A r e y o u o k a y?

Conan: Are you okay, Joey?

Matt: Yeah, you know, it s great. I feel really lucky to be so fortunate.

Conan: Do you still see the other Friends cast members? Do you guys still hang out, or get together ever?

Matt: Yeah actually, David Schwimmer directed last week s episode, so it was great having him back on the stage again. It s funny. The on you kinda want to stay away from, is Jennifer though.

Conan: You wanna stay away from Jennifer?

Matt: You do anything with Jennifer and you re on the front page of all the newspapers everywhere. I mean, they are so after her and Brad all the time. So, we went out to dinner one time and we happened to get to the valet at the same time, so I gave her a kiss hello, and that s the cover; that her and I are- it looks like we re making out. It totally does.

Conan: yeah, cause see, I saw that cover and I was totally like What s going on?! Cause see, I buy in to anything. I should ve known better, cause I m in the business and I vemet a bunch of you people, and it s all, a lot of it lies. So I saw that cover and I was like What s going on, man?!

Matt: Well, it s just when you re with her. By myself, I could burst into flames and nobody would give a crap.

Conan: Well, don t try that. Uh do you guys, do you prank each other ever? I ve eard that people sometimes do that on TV shows to sort of ease the tension.

Matt: Yeah, if you make a mistake, you try to keep the laugh rolling with the audience, like if something doesn t go right. But, that probably never happens down here.

Conan: It s a Swiss watch. It s a finely calibrated machine.

Matt: We did things when like, somebody has an entrance, we d put the chain on the door, before they come in. Schwimmer banged his face on the door one time.

Conan: There was surgery involved.

Matt: And then one time, we took a I Love Friends license plate frame and put it on Schwimmer s car.

Conan: That s funny, because he could be like driving around and it s like Oh, do you need it that badly?

Matt: Yeah even with those dark windows, he s thinking How can they see me, how can they know I m in here?

Conan: Now, speaking about cars, I talked to you before, we were at some event once, and you started talking about cars. And cars are a passion.

Matt: Cars, bikes, yeah.

Conan: And you ve got this crazy Porsche now. What is it a 996 Twin Turbo, or something?

Matt: Yeah, it s the basic Porsche Trubo. It s pretty fast. They have a new one out now, that I think Tim Allen has one. A Carrera GT, man I gotta get me one of those.

Conan: Yeah, you got to get one of those, because the one you hae now, you still can t drive anywhere legally. That s the other problem, what does the speedometer go up to? Does it go up to like 800 miles an hour?

Matt: Almost, yeah. No, it s like 180.

Conan: But you appreciate a good car?

Matt: Sure.

Conan: Check this out. I ve got a 1992 Ford Taurus.

Matt: That s good.

Conan: Wait, it gets better. The S.H.O. Are you familiar with the S.H.O.?

Matt: Yeah. SHO (Pronounces it Show )

Conan: SHO, yeah, I never thought of it that way!

Matt: Yeah, I m not really Joey.

Conan: Uh Super High Output. That thing will go up to 90 miles an hour. Yes, you can t keep it there long or the doors fall off.

Matt: I remember that, when that car came out. That was like the American hot sedan.

Conan: Thanks so much for playing along with that, only a real kind person- But when you re driving a car like yours, you must have people trying to race you all the time. Right? They see you in a car like that, and you re out in Los Angeles. Do people try and race you?

Matt: Some of the people have it out to beat the Porsche, just because of their racing heritage. So it s funny, you ll be at a light, and you get a guy in a Civic that look slike ti went through Pep Boys with a magnet. It s got every freakin -

Conan: Right, right, right.

Matt: You know the dice on the windshield wipers, and the curbfeelers, cause that makes it go faster.

Conan: Right, and you guys are at the light and you rev your engine and then he revs his like an egg beater going.

Matt: And then you just don t, you don t race him.

Conan: Okay, we re tight on time now, but before we wrap this up, I want to congratulate you on your baby.

Matt: Ah, same to you.

Conan: That s exciting. Thanks a lot. How old?

Matt: She s 7 and a half months now.

Conan: 7 and a half months? Cool. Are you enjoying it? Is it great?

Matt: It s great, you know. It s just a miracle in my life, and everyone I know that as kids that are a little older..we also have, we have two step-kids. Tyler s 14 and Jacqueline s 10. But when they re so small, everyone says it goes by so fast-

Conan: You gotta enjoy the moment.

Matt: Savor the moment, yeah. So I m saving up a lot of uh, poop.

Conan: Hang on to it, yeah. This ll be gone soon. Precious.

Matt: Diapers, doodie, and all that stuff.

Conan: Yeah, yeah, you don t want to do that.

Matt: Are you good on the diapers?

Conan: I m okay. It s not as bad. It s not as bad as-

Matt: You have giant hands.

Conan: I do have giant hands, thank you. Umm, let the moment register and then continue. Uh, it s not as bad as people say. It really isn t.

Matt: Having giant hands? I wouldn t know.

Conan: Oh my god. Okay, we have to move on after that. Uh, Joey airs Thursday nights at 8 on NBC. Congratulations Matt. Thanks a lot for being here.

Matt: Thank you. Thank you.
