: I've been on Conan - three times now, I think.
: The only time I was half-invited to Letterman was during the "Dogma" press,
: when a scheduled guest dropped out and they said I could be a replacement.
: But I was doing press in L.A., and the show-taping was that night, so I
: couldn't make it. I've never been asked again, and the few times I've been
: suggested as a guest by my publicist, the Letterman folks have declined.
: Now Leno, on the other hand - they actually requested me. After seeing my
: last Conan appearance, Dave Berg (the booker there) called Miramax and
: asked if I'd like to do the show, to promote "Jay and Silent Bob." For
: whatever reason, the folks at the show really dug my appearance, and Debbie
: Vickers, the Exec Producer, asked if I'd want to shoot a short film or do
: Correspondent pieces for them. I said I'd be happy to do both. They've
: all been nothing but grand to me there, from Dave, to Debbie, to Andy
: McElfresh (the funny gent who's the real mastermind behind the "Roadside
: Attractions" pieces), right on up to Jay himself.
: And me? I'm a loyalist. I stick with those who welcome me or give me a
: shot. That's why I'm still at Miramax. That's why I'm in the Jason
: Lee/Ben Affleck/Jason Mewes business. That's why I'm married to Jen. And
: that's why I'll do stuff for the "Tonight Show" until they're like "Fuck
: off, kid."
