Conan: Now, Seth, apparently you caused a bit of a stir...
Seth: A kerfuffle.
Conan: A kerfuffle. No one says that.
Conan: The last time, I believe, maybe it was the last time you were on our show...
Seth: Yeah.
Conan: You started talking about Singapore, is that correct?
Seth: Yeah, I had just gone on a trip to Singapore and I was commenting on how if you chew gum
Seth: they cane the crap out of you there.
Seth: Which I found to be odd.
Seth: They literally whack you with a cane for chewing gum.
Conan: They're strict about that.
Seth: They're very strict about that. And the people of Singapore took umbrage
Seth: I guess you would say, with my comments
Conan: They saw-- first of all, I was thrilled
Seth: You're huge in Singapore, apparently.
Conan: Apparently, Finland and Singapore, those are my hot zones.
Conan: And so Singapore, they saw this...
Seth: They saw it, and they wrote an article
Seth: about how terrible my appearance on your show was.
Seth: And I have it, actually.
Seth: 'Cause I wanted to confront it. And I wanted to accept
Seth: that maybe I had pushed things a little too far.
Seth: So this is the article, from the Times, the Streets Times, in Singapore.
Conan: Okay.
Seth (reading): Comedian Seth Rogen went on the Conan O' Brien show recently
Seth (reading): He spoke about a trip he made to Singapore.
Seth (reading): What Rogen trotted out was the usual bunch of half-accurate observations
Seth (reading): about caning and chewing gum.
Seth (reading): The searing heat of the hate piled on when Rogen blasted out of my monitor
Seth (reading): and singed my eyebrows!
Conan: So you angered a lot of people in Singapore.
Seth: I sure did. And they called in the help of professional jokesters
Seth: to give people slams to yell at me when I come to Singapore next.
Seth: One of which was
Seth (reading): I watched the video of Seth Rogen talking about Singapore and he said he was a graffiti enthusiast.
Seth (reading): I didn't know "graffiti" is another word for "cake".
Conan: Ouch.
Andy: Yeah, wow.
Seth (reading): Rogen shouldn't be scared of caning, unless it's punishment for making The Green Hornet.
Seth: So I would like to formally apologize to Singapore
Seth: Sure, it's illegal to chew gum
Seth: and if you're gay, you can go to jail.
Seth: and I don't think you can vote
Seth: But...
Seth: I, I uh, I'm sorry.
Seth: It must be a really awesome place to live
Seth: unless you're a gay guy who likes chewing gum.
Seth: and then...
Conan: Alright.
Conan: Nicely done.
Seth: Thank you.
Conan: Problem solved.
Seth: I think I'm going to be assassinated very shortly, so...
