Charles Barkley made an appearance on “Conan” on Thursday night and covered a wide range of topics. Conan O’Brien had Sir Charles talking about everything from his personal hygiene to the prospect of him working as a general manager in the NBA in the near future. Conan also brought up how Barkley has been critical of Michael Jordan’s looks in the past, and Charles was happy to elaborate.
“People tell me he’s good looking,” Barkley said. “First of all, he’s not good looking. He’s not. Every man who’s got $500 million is good looking. But seriously, if he was a plumber people wouldn’t be saying he’s good looking.”
And then there was the manscaping talk. Apparently Barkley is big into keeping himself groomed, which Conan couldn’t resist poking fun at him for.
“They give me a hard time,” Barkley explained. “I have to get my nails done and my eye brows waxed. I’ve got some issues going on. There’s stuff going on in my ears now. Listen, I like manscaping.”
Later in the show, Barkley talked about how it has been his dream to call a basketball game alongside legendary broadcaster Dick Vitale. Conan made that dream come true — sort of.
Whether it’s guests talking about how much sex they like to have before fighting or how they enjoy getting a manicure, Conan always seems to bring out the best in everyone.
