  • It's a super populated manga and anime

  • character in Japan, whose name is

  • Detective Conan.

  • There he is, that's real.

  • Detective Conan, yes...

  • Detective Conan...

  • Ladies and gentlemen, Detective Conan is

  • a man who's trapped in a child's body

  • and solves crimes.

  • Sound a little familiar?

  • I don't solve crimes,

  • but I'm a man trapped in a child's body,

  • my name is Conan.

  • Now I have established that Detective Conan is clearly

  • a rip-off of yours truly.

  • Detective Conan was created in 1994,

  • that's year after I went on the air

  • to instant international acclaim.

  • Now, get this, Detective Conan is so popular in Japan

  • that there is an actual city Hokuei that's been renamed Conan Town.

  • I'm not making this up.

  • A whole city called Conan Town.

  • Get this, Conan Town even named their

  • train station and their air port after Detective Conan.

  • Now, clearly, you have to be a genius to see

  • someone's making a lot of money off the Conan name.

  • Wouldn't you agree, Andy the attorney?

  • Absolutely, it's an open-and-shut case.

  • Thank you very much.

  • Thank you.

  • I'd ask you but you didn't go to any graduate school.

  • I...I've..I haven't been listening.

  • Finally, I've got a sidekick that listens to me,

  • and he's only here for one night.

  • Anyway, so the other night, I reasonably asked Japan to pay me 3 trillion yen,

  • because I thought that was only fair.

  • This thing has made a lot of money

  • for a long time for 24 years.

  • Plus, I asked the mayor of Conan Town to

  • change the name of the town's most popular coin laundry to

  • American Conan's FLUFF 'N FOLD,

  • which I thought was fair. -[Andy] small price

  • Small price. And I asked them to change

  • the hair on their Detective Conan statue

  • to something a little more iconic and recognizable around the world.

  • Well...

  • the plot thickens.

  • Over the weekend, the mayor of Conan Town

  • responded to my very reasonable request with his own set of demands.

  • He made a video. Let's take a look.

  • Hello from Hokuei Town,

  • aka Conan town in Japan.

  • I am Mayor Matsumoto.

  • I have a few modest demands too.

  • First:

  • I want my face next to

  • President Lincoln

  • on Mout Rushmore.

  • Second:

  • I want my own star

  • on the Hollywood Walk of Fame

  • Finally:

  • I want you to bring

  • 15,000

  • American hamburgers

  • with you when you come.

  • That's one for each citizen of Conan Town.

  • Be here...

  • or be square.

  • Don't mess with that guy!

  • Clearly, I did not realize who I was dealing with.

  • Mayor Matsumoto, I know you're watching,

  • and I say this with all respect,

  • you are a very shrewd negotiator.

  • You got me.

  • I will fulfill all three of your request.

  • You wanted your face out at the Mount Rushmore,

  • but I'll do you one better,

  • instead of sharing Rushmore with four other people,

  • who wants that?

  • I got you your very own mountain right here in Burbank California.

  • Check it out!

  • (audience cheering) - [Andy]wow

  • Look at that!

  • He is emerging from the hillside.

  • Isn't that amazing?

  • [Andy] Yeah

  • Now trust me, trust me Mayor,

  • this is an actual real window looking out on an real mountain,

  • isn't that right, Andy?

  • It's Burbank alright,

  • cause I can keep an eye on my wife.

  • Alright, very nice.

  • What do you say other Andy? Real right?

  • Absolutely real.

  • Spoken like a true lawyer.

  • Next, you asked me for a star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame.

  • Luckily for you, I'm a pretty big deal in this town,

  • and in show business in general,

  • I made one of two phone calls and went right to the top,

  • and I easily got you your star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame.

  • Take a look.

  • (audience laughing and clapping)

  • (Conan laughing like a maniac)

  • And finally, you asked for

  • 150,000 American hamburgers,

  • one for every resident in Conan Town.

  • The problem is, Mr. Mayor,

  • I don't know how everybody likes them,

  • some people like theirs medium rare,

  • some like them well done,

  • so I'm gonna (drum) ...so...

  • a little early...

  • (Conan and audience laughing)

  • So...

  • so I'm gonna ship you all the material

  • you need to make the burgers yourselves!

  • Yes!

  • (audience cheering)

  • That's right, Mr. Mayor, that's right.

  • In one week's time,

  • in exactly one week's time,

  • this steer will be parachuted into Conan Town,

  • for you and your citizens can do whatever you like to have

  • perfect American hamburgers.

  • Let's get this shipping label

  • on that steer right now!

  • Let's get it ready to go!

  • Yes!

  • (audience cheering)

  • Very nice.

  • Mayor Matsumoto, I met all of your demands.

  • Now it's time for me to call your bluff.

  • I want my 3 trillion yen,

  • so here's what's gonna happen,

  • and this is real,

  • next week I am flying to Japan and

  • coming to Conan Town to collect my money.

  • I'll be there!

  • I'm going to be there!

  • And Mr. Mayor, I'lll be square!

  • (audience cheering)
