Patrick Stewart Got Caught Watching His "Star Trek" Reruns | Late Night with Conan O’Brien

Things we can learn from the video

Press to jump

1:02Stewart explains that his stage role requires dirty toes and filthy clothing, making this suit a welcome change.
2:48A hotel television leads Stewart back to an episode of Star Trek: The Next Generation.
3:20A room-service delivery catches Stewart watching himself, prompting an embarrassing encounter.
4:26Stewart praises New York's subway and the performers he encounters between stations.
6:33Conan corrects Stewart's subway fare, and Stewart attributes his confusion to a carousel ride.

Patrick Stewart dresses sharply for Conan, but his explanation starts with dirty toes. Appearing in The Caretaker on Broadway, he had been spending his working evenings in filthy costume; the suit was a chance to show he could clean up.

That November 2003 conversation became the most watched of two uploads on Conan O'Brien's Late Night clips channel this week, reaching roughly 272,000 views. Its centerpiece is a hotel-room encounter: Stewart catches Star Trek: The Next Generation on television, then room service arrives to find Captain Picard watching Captain Picard. "And he looked at me with such pity in his eyes," Stewart tells Conan.

The conversation gets equally good mileage out of Stewart's affection for the subway, especially its singers. His confidence about the fare proves less reliable. Viewers are picking out Conan's delighted response to making Stewart laugh, remembering the toe-rag wordplay and noting Stewart's appreciation of other performers.

The other new arrival, "Dr. Arroyo Presents \"I'll See You in Health\" (Season 1)", supplies comedy rather than medical guidance. It is the channel's fastest-moving upload right now, while the older "Ali G Introduces Borat | Late Night with Conan O'Brien" continues adding views.

The channel gained 2,000 subscribers over the week, though daily views are a little below their usual level. Among nearby talk-show channels, 22 Minutes is having a particularly lively spell, while The Jonathan Ross Show is quieter than usual. Here, the week's standout remains an interview in which Stewart can command the Enterprise but cannot quite remember the subway fare.

I can't believe I still remember Conan's stupid toerag/Touareg joke 23 years later.

Patrick’s delight in the subway singers at 5:42 is a lovely detail. Even while discussing his own stage work, he takes time to celebrate performers he happened to encounter between stations. There is something generous about an accomplished actor still being that open to someone else’s craft.
