Tracy Morgan was a guest on Conan O’Brien‘s TBS show on Thursday, but fortunately his alter ego Chico Devine was not.

“I had to leave Chico alone because I’ve got a daughter,” he revealed. “Chico Devine got me thrown out of Prince‘s house! Prince is a freak, but I’m a big old freak.”

Even telling the singer that his father loved “When Doves Cry” didn’t stop the 30 Rock star from getting kicked out, he said.

Later in the show, actress Judy Greer revealed how people have trouble nailing down why they recognize her. “I call it fan-profiling,” said the comedian, who’s written a whole book on the topic titled, I Don’t Know What You Know Me From: Confessions of a Co-Star.

“It becomes my problem to figure out what they know me from,” she said, explaining how recently “I guessed Two and a Half Men for Bill, the customs man, but it turns out Bill doesn’t watch TV or movies,” though he was determined to figure it out before he gave her passport back, revealed the actress, who has also appeared in 27 Dresses, Arrested Development and The Wedding Planner.

Over on CBS, Kevin Bacon boasted to Craig Ferguson about his cooking skills — and blasted those of his mother’s, recalling smelly fish, chicken livers and boiled sprouts. As a kid, when his mom said she had to work late and he’d be getting a TV dinner, “I was so thrilled!” gushed Bacon, doing an excited wiggle.

Jimmy Kimmel devoted his show on Thursday to ABC’s Scandal, with a special episode titled Jimmy Kimmel Live: Behind the Scandalabra. The executive producer behind Scandal and Grey’s Anatomy, Shonda Rhimes, appeared on the show, where she faced burning questions.

Conan O’Brien mocked former president George W. Bush on Wednesday night, not for his politics or intelligence — but his artistic skills when he critiqued Bush’s art work, which recently went on display.

With Bush having painted political figures like Vladimir Putin, O’Brien jokingly sparked a “presidential competition” by displaying Bill Clinton‘s fake creations, which were far more risque — and included Clinton as majestic half-man, half-horse.

“This is how President Clinton sees himself,” joked the Conan host.  

O’Brien’s guest Marlon Wayons revealed that he has a serious crush on female UFC champ Ronda Rousey, because he likes a woman who can “professionally” kick his butt.

Over on CBS, Craig Ferguson talked about Clinton too, saying in his opening monologue: “Federal charges have been filed against the woman who threw her shoe at Hillary Clinton, which seems a bit excessive to me.  

“If a woman threw her shoe at Bill Clinton, he would be like, “That’s a good start.'”

Big Bang Theory star Kunal Nayyar went on to dish about animals in his native country of India. “Sometimes you see elephants on the road, not stray elephants but the ones going from wedding to wedding,” he said, collapsing into giggles, before revealing that for his wedding he came in on a white horse.

“Which was cool, until my horse started bucking,” he told the Late Late Show host.

Tatiana Maslany

Conan O’Brien welcomed Orphan Black star Tatiana Maslany on to his show on Tuesday to talk about her favorite bedtime reading material growing up, which was a world away from Dr. Seuss‘ Green Eggs and Ham. 

When asked if she liked scary stories as a child, the BBC America breakout star told the TBS host: “It was forced on me. I was brought up German… I am German,” she revealed, citing a book that was “cautionary tales for children in which they all die in the end.”

From a pixie man who chops of a boy’s thumb with garden sheers to the little girl who set herself on fire with matches, Maslany laughed at the horrific stories that she read as a youngster.

“It’s so dark,” she revealed. 

Castle star Nathan Fillion was also a guest on the Conan show, teasing his Twitter followers earlier in the day by asking: “Guess where I am. (Hint: It’s Conan!).

Over on CBS, Hot in Cleveland star Wendi Malick told Craig Ferguson how she is lives on a ponderosa “off the land,” she said. “We have five horses now, and a miniature donkey.

“There are big ones and little ones but all have the same size head,” she revealed, unable to suppress her naughty giggles. 

Community star Jim Rash‘s big confession was that people mistake him for dance D.J. Moby. “I’ve had times when they get angry… they feel like I’m holding that back,” he told the Late Late Show host.
