Kevin Connolly was on Conan O'Brien on Thursday, September 4, 2008. The Entourage star discussed the Season 5 Premiere Party and shared his awkwardness regarding what it was like sitting next to his mom during the risque opening of the HBO hit. Kevin confessed that he had to get up and leave 30 seconds into the show's opening.
Conan and Kevin discussed what it was like to go to work every day on such a beautiful set. Kevin explained that it was the best gig around and laughed about sitting down to breakfast every morning with 70 new attractive girls every day.
This lead Conan to point out that Kevin was indeed still single. So, any luck dating? Kevin explained that he has met a very nice 30 something lawyer at a party one time and thought that this could be the one he settled down with and married. There was just one problem. Although the lovely lady felt it necessary to point out that she had never seen an episode of Entourage while they were still pulling out of her driveway, she called him Eric not once, not twice, but three times during dinner. Hmmm, that's a wee bit curious. How bad did it get? Kevin actually had to take out his driver's license to show his possibly tipsy date that he was indeed Kevin! And, then, she wondered why he never called!
The duo then began to discuss the fact that Kevin has been in this business for 28 years and started out doing the commercial circuit with Seth Green when they were both adorable, freckle faced redheaded boys. Conan surprised Kevin with a clip of Kevin and Seth's Matchbox Carwash Commercial (which never took off, by the way, because it rusted the cars).
Finally, they finished up with a sneak peak of Eric Murphy pleaded with Vincent Chse to leave the serenity of Mexico behind and return to Hollywood. E begs Vince to do one more thing for him, so that he not left feeling like he ruined his best friend's career and so he doesn't have to kill himself. You gotta love E. He's done everything for Vince, but still feels guilty, even though no one wanted to listen to him about Medellin being a wreck that needed to be recut.
Season 5 of Entourage returns to HBO tomorrow, Sunday, September 7, 2008 at 10pm EST! I know my TIVO is ready. Is yours?
