I thought this was another good exposure to table tennis. Having several table tennis players on late night talk shows for the past year since the Olympics is pretty impressive. Barney seemed to fit right in with the atmosphere and seemed to enjoy himself. He did not look awkward or shy and was not too serious.

Pretty entertaining to see Adam Sandler smash one past him!

Yes, much cuter on the show, though. there must be better pics somewhere. This was the first photo album i found.

Sorry I have to disagree he is hot no matter what picture he is in. He is not only hot but he is a wonderful man too. Too bad he is taken!

Darn he is taken, anyone know who the lucky girl is?

He is dating a fellow table tennis player Michelle Do. I don't think they make a good match together but hey maybe she makes him happy?

	at 46 minutes >> T >> Conan: everybody, we're back. My next guest is one of the greatest table tennis ..
	at 48 minutes [ Laughter ] you'd be happier. >> It sounds better. >> Conan: right. Does everybody think -- everybody kind of thinks they're good at table tennis Ping-Pong. Everybody -- I mean, you could take the sort of the fattest slob in the world, sitting on the couch who never does anything, and he'd probably be like, "I'm great at Ping-Pong!" Is that true, people think they're better than they are? >> Yeah. In their Ping-Pong world, they're awesome, because for them, they just stand there and they think this is Ping-Pong. They don't realize you actually have to move and the physical that's involved. >> Conan: what you just did is what I do, pretty much. I stay still and I just go -- [ Conan chuckles ] [ laughter ] you kind of go -- >> you have to have a good physique for table tennis, though.
	at 48 minutes 30 seconds >> Conan: a good -- you should have stopped at good physique. [ Cheers and applause ] thanks. I have a good physique for table tennis. Thank you. [ Laughter ] what does that mean? What about my body? Just go for it. >> You have speed, you don't have bulk. 'Cause If you're bulky, you lose the speed and the quickness. >> Conan: so you think I'm like a wiry cat, is what you're saying? [ Laughter ] >> cat-like reflexes. >> Conan: I'm here and then I'm over here, right? Check this out, I'm here and then I'm over here.
	at 49 minutes 30 seconds We're going to do this. >> I grab the paddle. >> Conan: Adam, do you want to do this, too? Adam, come on over. Help me fight him. [ Cheers and applause ] show us what to do. >> Okay, you guys want to get ready to play? >> Conan: all right, what do we do? >> First you got to Bend your knees, kind of stick your butt out. [ Laughter ] okay, you guys ready? >> Conan: now, are we holding it the right way? >> Yeah, you guys are holding it fine. This is unlike tennis. In table tennis -- yeah, take your jacket off and stay a while, Adam. Stay a while. >> Adam: all right, you got it, baby.
	at 52 minutes >> Adam: I'm sorry, I gotta let on -- >> Conan: "yeah, Barney!" >> Adam: yeah, Barney! [ Cheers and applause ] >> Conan: he'll be an ambassador to killer spin extreme table tennis -- not Ping-Pong -- championship, this Sunday. You've got to Settle down. [ Laughter ] "this is great!" Now you're all into -Pong now. This Sunday at mohegan Sun in Connecticut. Barney Reed
