U2 on the Couch
The Dec. 12 issue of Entertainment Weekly features interviews with producers of several late-night talk shows discussing musical guests. Several interviewed have U2 on their wish lists.
The Late Show with Craig Kilborn
Recent Guests: the Ataris, Joss Stone and Elvis Costello. "Along with the chart-toppers, we like to break new artists and bring back old favorites," says talent exec Alisa Gichon, who likens Kilborn to the "DJ of an alternative radio station."
On Their Wish List: U2, the Red Hot Chili Peppers, Madonna, AC/DC
Memorable Performance: "Jackyl's Jessie James Dupree performed 'Highway to Hell.' At the end," says Gichon, "he grabbed a chain saw and carved Craig's name into the top of a bar stool. Then he took the stool and smashed the drum kit, very rock & roll."
Last Call with Carson Daly
Recent Guests: the RZA and ODB, Stellastarr*, Erykah Badu and Phantom Planet
On Their Wish List: Pearl Jam, U2
Memorable Performance: "Christopher Walken was rehearsing for SNL the day Fischerspooner was taping," says talent exec Jamie Granet, "ans he stopped to watch. He seemed captivated. That's the kind of performance you hope for."
Late Night with Conan O'Brien
Recent Guests: the Strokes, Joshua Bell, Dolly Parton and the Polyphonic Spree.
On Their Wish List: U2
Memorable Performance: "The drummer from Goldfinger flipped Conan upside down and he landed on his head," says talent exec Jim Pitt. "Everyone thought, 'Oh my God, he's going to be paralyzed.'" O'Brien sidekick Andy Richter later framed a still from the show with this quote, "For a minute there, I saw my vacation home going to the sh---er."
