Pour Some Coco On Me: New Conan O’Brien Ad Soundtracked By Def Leppard

By | Stop The Presses! – Mon, Oct 4, 2010 8:42 PM EDT

Conan O'Brien must really dig '80s mullet music. First he chose to use John Waite's power ballad "Missing You" in all nine of his TBS teaser promos, and now Def Leppard's stadium-rattling classic "Pour Some Sugar On Me" is being featured in the first TBS ad that actually stars Sir Coco, for Conan's upcoming talk show simply titled--you guessed it--"Conan."

The hilarious promo features a slow-mo Co' hosing off his long-neglected dusty desk, getting sudsier and sexier than any buxom babe featured in the '80s hair-band videos of Leppard's heyday.

"Conan" premieres on TBS November 8. May we suggest that O'Brien invite Def Leppard and John Waite to perform as his new house band (a la Jimmy Fallon's Roots), and that he have them play, say, "F-F-F-Foolin"? Just a suggestion...
