Poor Gere. He probably thought people must have forgotten about this by now. Oh…😂
Reply“The rumors are completely untrue, I’ve never even met Mr Gere.”
Dammit, we booked the wrong gerbil!
ReplyGerbils make good friends
ReplyGullible people will literally believe anything….
ReplyThe sounds at 6:30 are being beamed out into the universe and the aliens think that’s how earthlings talk. Alien super minds are looking at each other saying “Is this talk… of gerbils?”
ReplyOk, I’m sure it’s made up. However… how the hell did everyone know this rumor in a world before the internet? It is crazy
ReplyI like the fact that of all people Don Rickles is being vague in this anecdote so as not to say something potentially offensive. I’m not sure if gerbils up the ass was one bridge too far or if he was particularly wary of Gere’s lawyers.
ReplyGet him on the podcast! He has things to say. 😉
ReplyThe Ballad of Lemmiwinks
ReplySona is right, Conan definitely brought up this mostly forgotten rumor again. moreover just look at the state of the world and how many people believe in insane conspiracies theories, a lot of stupid folks will believe that nonsense.
Reply“There was talk…of Kedakai! As the gerbil god made her.” Do I have that right?
ReplyDe-Clawed, De-Furred, Pre-Lubed Party Gerbils… Yup, not a thing…
ReplySaw your show in 2001 at NBC. Your comedy before the show was better than 99.9% of comedians out there. You really got the crowd going! I want to apologize because I snuck my video camera into the studio and recorded some of the show. All these years later… I’m sorry. 😭
ReplyWhere do you think the band name Pet Shop Boys” comes from?
ReplyThe question is: Who is in charge of declawing the gerbil and how is it done?
Reply“I didn’t resuscitate it. It was Mickey Rooney…God rest his soul.” Absolute belly laugh moment. So damn funny.
ReplySly Stallone (Rocky himself) started this rumor. He hated him after working on a film together.
ReplyConan is wearing a tie, I knew something looked odd ;D
ReplyI always thought about this rumor since I first heard it, of course it is either real or fake, if it was real then it is very weird already, but if it was fake you have to think why would it get spread in the first place, what kind of person would spread this story and of course pay a lot of money for this?
ReplyMy theory is that Richard Gere angered a very powerful Hollywood executive, like Harvey Weinstein and the others that were named in the metoo movement, and he retaliated by spreading this insane story about Gere
Proudly among those who first learned this gerbil ~fact~ from conan
