Robert Kirkman teases midseason finale of The Walking Dead on Conan
Robert Kirkman appeared on Conan to talk everything The Walking Dead, but what did he reveal about the midseason finale?
Conan O’Brien welcomed The Walking Dead creator and executive producer Robert Kirkman on Monday night. Of course Conan wanted all of the details on the midseason finale, and Kirkman was only too happy to not oblige.
Conan can’t believe how mean ad devious Kirkman can be when it comes to taunting fans about people who might die, but none of it ends up being true. Kirkman admits he gets the same “Who’s going to die?” question so he started making answers up. However, there is a glimmer of hope in those fake answers, because if he says a name it means that the person he names isn’t going to die. So he’s actually doing us all a favor.
Negan’s beloved baseball bat Lucille makes an appearance as Conan marvels that the replica bat is being sold as a toy. Andy wonders if the barbed wire has a special function, and whether it helps with all of the skull crushing. Kirkman says the barbed wire is more for decoration.
When it comes to colleges offering course on The Walking Dead, Kirkman isn’t so sure. “It’s flattering but stupid,” Kirkman says, citing student debt. “It’s a waste of parents’ money.” However, if he was getting a cut from the classes he might change his mind.
Conan asks Kirkman about the use of the word “zombie” in the show and how it’s very intentional not to use it. He goes on to talk about how it might be nice to be in the Walkers’ shoes. They might have a delightful experience, until they get killed.
Kirkman says that being a writer is his only real talent, despite creating the most successful show of all time. He also admits that he’s lazy and he’s not a great boss, and that conducting performance reviews is really tough because he wants to help people grow.
