Jack Black & Kyle Gass On Tenacious D's Origin Story - 'Late Night With Conan O'Brien'

(Original airdate: 11/15/06) Jack Black and Kyle Gass discuss Jack’s beef with Steven Seagal, working with Meat Loaf, and the "Tenacious D" movie.

When you’re younger, you love jack. But as you age, you start to appreciate Kyle more and more.

[peterpiper]

That was the coolest entrance/handshake I’ve ever seen.

My favorite fact about JB is that both his parents were space engineers. His mother worked on the Hubble Telescope and designed the equipment that got the Apollo 13 crew home safe while she was giving birth to Jack Black in the hospital.

Only Kyle acknowledged the yell from the crowd at 9:30 😂😂😂

[mylifeisrushhour]

Can't you see he's the man,
let me hear you applaud.
He is more than a man,
he's a shiny golden god!

[markthompson]

Everybody loves Jack Black, but Kyle Gass is an equally fascinating and talented artist. Tenacious D totally rocks!! 😉🎸

[BingeAddict]

conan absolutely understood the assignment during the entrance

[jonstremel]

Fun fact:
Jack Black is wearing the pizza delivery guy’s shirt from Pick of Destiny

[SaRNews]

Watched as a kid, been a man ever since.

"You just saved us so much mail" really took me back to a simpler time.

[SchoolofRockNRoll]

Poor Kage.. even when he gets a question its about Jack loool

[clawwer]

9:31 I die of laughter every time that audience member screams and he says "eeh, what ?" all confused..

[davidsummers]

I'm so happy that Conan clips from when I was in 8th grade can be enjoyed in crisp 1080p.

[PhenomenalTeach]

Kyle is undercover funny as. I remember him on Jack's movie, Shallow Hal. Crack up dude. He could have been a huge comedy actor too if he wanted to.

[TasiaLyn]

Jack is an absolute modern God, and the sweetest part is that you can see how truly he worships his dear one KG.

[CountBookula]

KG on JB's guitar strengths: "...and making the easy songs actually look difficult"

[TardRepellent]

sitting on one leg instead of crossing their legs. these are clearly men of culture.

[TommyLikeTom]

Kyle Gass was not the youngest person to Graduate from Juliard, lol, he didn't even go to Juilard. They just made up that fact and got an applause for it XD

[ComicalRealm]

Fun fact:
Jack Black was considered for the role of Hal Jordan / Green Lantern in an unproduced screenplay by Robert Smigel. The idea was ultimately scrapped by Warner Brothers for a less comedic screenplay.

[mmpatriot]

These two are a national treasure. I love Tenacious D.
