Conan O’Brien Joked to Paul McCartney He Never Paid to Use Beatles Music on His Show

Peter Asher — legendary recording artist, record producer, and impresario who usually hosts “From Me to You” on The Beatles Channel (Ch. 18) — sat down with Conan O’Brien for an exclusive conversation during the special “Tell Me Why.”

Peter, a CBE (The Most Excellent Order of the British Empire) recipient, and Conan, an embodiment of the celebrity-obsessed American spirit, are both lifelong Beatles fans with lots to talk about. They discussed Conan using The Beatles’ songs as intro music on his show, and why it’s done strategically to joke with Paul McCartney about not paying him.
