Steven Ho's Blog - Deconstructing Fighting and Stunts for your enjoyment

In case you’re not up to date on events with the Asian Baby raffle, put down the phone…you don’t have to call child services. It’s not a real baby (kinda). The Asian Baby (“AB”) was first seen on The Tonight Show with Conan O’Brien, where COCO dove through a window to save him from a huge pyro explosion.

Since then, AB has developed a little following. Through my Facebook page, we held a free raffle to 4,800 contestants and announced the winner on March 1st. Thanks so much to Suzanne Marques, Aaron Bleyaert, and Mike Mitchell for being such a big part of this.

Here are the result of the raffle…

A little about the winner:

(The raffle Gods were really with us on this selection - I couldn’t imagine a better babymomma to run with the ball on this)

Here’s the full HD stunt segment where Conan kicks ass, then saves the Asian Baby from a pyro explosion. I dare any other late night host to try this.

This was the first “big stunt” (usually the closing act of our segment) I did with Conan. All our banter is ad-lib and I can’t even begin to explain how much fun this was.

This was my first appearance on The Tonight Show with Conan O’Brien. Although the ratchet stunt was prepared, we didn’t really go over any of the beats for this first section, so the majority of what we did here was spontaneous. Regarding the punch to the stomach, people ask me all the time if it was real…and yes, the sucker punch was real. I actually hit him pretty hard.

This was from our second stunt segment. Those bamboo swords (shinai) don’t look like they would hurt much, but trust me they STING.

LOS ANGELES (Hollywood Reporter) - If Conan O’Brien’s debut on Twitter is any indication Coco fever is stronger than ever.

In his first public comment since his final “Tonight Show” on February 12, O’Brien launched a Twitter account Wednesday afternoon, (at)conanobrien, and sent his first tweet. “Today I interviewed a squirrel in my backyard and then threw to commercial. Somebody help me,” he wrote on his page, which also includes his bio summed up as “I had a show. Then I had a different show. Now I have a Twitter account.”

What followed was a wildfire on the microblogging site. Within the first three hours, O’Brien had more than 100,000 followers, with 1,000 new fans signing up every minute.
