Conan O'Brien is a lot of things, but the host of NBC's The Tonight Show is not one of them. Neither is sex symbol, he says — despite the "post-NBC claims" that that's exactly what he's become.

In fact, Coco shuddered at the thought:

"No. Horrifying. I’m the worst person to comment on this. I grew a beard because I hate shaving. It’s a feeling of liberation, and everybody who loses a job does it, or something. Next thing you know we’re taking publicity photos with the beard. It could go tomorrow. I completely reject the notion I’m in any way a sex symbol and I think my fans do as well.”

Well, fans? Do you?

I very much reject the notion. I like Conan for his brains. He's not a smarmy charmer. He's earnest, and "sex symbols" do not embody the notion of "earnest".

I dig him. Not for his exuding sexiness. But for his self-depricating loveliness

He's funny, self-deprecating, tall, and isn't balding. He's pretty hot to me. Definitely not an example of what most would see as a "sex symbol" though.

I don't normally go for gingers but the beard and the height factor do indeed put him in the do-able catagory.

Conan is absolutely full of it. He's a sex symbol and he knows it:

Conan is definitely a sex symbol. I think Conan still thinks he's a skinny little nerd. This is SO not the case. What I'm trying to say is... I'd hit that.
